i do worry about a letdown. and this team is so inconsistent.

my only hope is the oline is solidified. puka and coop are relatively healthy.

Yeah, I just don’t see them going on the road and beating Shanahan. I mean, there is a reason they are 2.5 point underdogs.

…watch the last few mins of the vid.

All about the OLine.

So, is Chris Shula a mediocre Defensive Coordinator?
Or is he getting the most out of mediocre LBs and Secondary? People keep saying the DLine is pretty good, so I’m assuming the problems are in back of the DLine, mostly.

I am not sure i know who or what this team is.

Saw a stat. Joe Burrow and the Bengals are the first NFL team to ever score 33 or more points four times and Lose all four games.

Saw a vid where Adam Shefter noted that there is not a team in the NFL with more than 7 defensive players on IR — except the Lions, who have 13 on defense alone.

Bills lead series 9-5

Bills won last three. 31-10. And 35-32. And 30-19.

I remember a game from 1970. Rams won 19-0. Willie Ellison had 90 yards on 16 carries.
Jack Snow had a 70 yard catch.
OJ Simpson 24 yards on 14 carries.

Rams at 6-6. Game behind Seattle.

Bills at LA
49ers
Jets
Cards at LA
Seahawks at LA

Intriguing schedule. I certainly see zero reason to trust this Ram team, but there is a path to the division title there. They can still take it. Or they can finish Last.

I dunno how they come back after a game like that Eagle game. I mean that was just an outright Alice’s Restaurant Massacre. A physical humiliation. A beat-down.

I got the impression that as the Eagles game wore on and the D was getting challenged physically, they began to “press”–get undisciplined trying to make plays. If you listen to the analysis from Rodrigue and others, they made mistakes and abandoned their gap discipline, which of course made things worse. Or, I guess, even worse. It was a regression because since the bye they had been tighter when it comes to that.

We’ll see how much they learned from that and if learning from it can improve them this year. But you can learn from that. IMO? No one who is competitive enough to play in the NFL just “quits” because of a loss.

Heck the 2021 Rams suffered an embarassing 31-10 loss against the 9ers in week 10, allowing 156 yards rushing while getting just 52 on their side, and throwing 2 INTs including a pick 6. That Rams team as you know won the super bowl. So they came back from that game. I doubt the super bowl is on the horizon this year but they can learn from a bad loss and come back better.

Ok, but what about getting plum mad-dog mean?

So, once again, a team played its best game against the Rams.

And, Philly is being touted as a super team. Maybe.

But watch the Eagles come out and play like shit, and Lose next week.

Because the football gods hate the rams.
