Things I will be watching for today across the various games: 1. Waddle/Hill/Tua vs Patriots Defense 2. Mac Jones decision making in year 2. 3. Tannehill/Henry vs Daboll 4. Devante Adams/Carr chemistry 5. Chiefs offense 6. Mitch vs Joey B 7. LJ vs the Jets 8. How good are the triplets in Minnesota. What does the GB offense look like? Games I could care less about this Sunday: 1. Bucs v Cowboys 2.Browns v Panthers 3. Jaguars v Commanders 4. 49ers v Bears 5. Saints v Falcons 6. Colts v Texans 7. Eagles v Lions

I went on Ticketmaster yesterday to look. Gave it a passing thought that I might just want to go. The visiting fan sections, you know the ones, like 316, end of upper deck, were the cheapest seats. 272 plus the usual Ticketmaster gouging. Glad I already bought my seats for the games I’m going to. I’m going to @Bal, Pit, Cle, NYJ and @Cin (MNF). Those Cincy tickets for comparison sake were $59.00. Got two tix for $157 including fees. Of course it’s Jan 2nd when I’m sure it will be nice and toasty.

Reggie Gilliam went out with an injury at one point. Any update on him? He had some crushing blocks.

This is why I so interested in the Miami — New England game this weekend. Miami has a rebuilt line and two speedsters. I believe Tua can make the throws from a clean pocket. I think his two receivers will adds points to his accuracy. Can his line give him the time?

Neither does Yolo apparently.

I know all the hype will be on VM40 as the free agent signing of the offseason, but I’m coming around to the idea that Kromer was. His line schemes detoothed the Rams. How many times did we see the Rams Dline get completely walled off and trapped in a bunch together?

He may not be the bell cow, but he is a decent outlet and a solid blocker. He routinely stands in there and picks up the blitz. I think there will be games when his battering ram style will work.

Dolphins/Pats .. Just cause I have a life time of utter dislike for them both.. Can Tua get the ball to Waddle/Hill? Is Mac the man or just an average cheese? Steelers/Bengals .. Are the Gals real? Is Mitch gonna keep his job? Ravens/Jets .. Can Flacco gain some revenge? What is the Raven's offense going to look like? Did Lamar's bet pay off? Raiders/Chargers .. Must see TV for the 4p hour. Was Davante worth the squeeze? Will Staley keep going for it on his side of the 35? Chiefs/Cardinals .. Will Mahommes Mahomme and take back the narrative from Allen? Is Ju-ju good ju-ju or bad ju-ju?

Must see. This guy is a true Bill. Love him. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/62M5SZwrDXk?playlist=62M5SZwrDXk&autoplay=1&iv_load_policy=3&loop=1&modestbranding=1&start=

👿 Feels like Jalen went to confession. I think we can put the trash narrative away now. He clearly understands he was wrong and was forced to do penance on the national stage.

They will still run Henry. That's Vrabel's MO. Pound them with Henry and wear down the Defense. I've seen it over and over again. And why not, he's that good.

And more importantly, no roughing the passer penalties.

A few more things I have thought about. 1. Bass kicking that ball out of bounds was brutal and led to Rams points. How does that happen indoors? 2. The ST play to open the third was one of the pivotal plays of the game. Pinning them back and forcing a punt was huge. 3. The play of the night for me, and it didn't work, was the endzone throw to Diggs. Allen acted like he was going to rush up the middle and then he throws late to Diggs. That was a Mahommes-esque kind of play. The lineman can't release downfield for that to work. 4. The Gabe Davis TD was a perfect and I mean perfect game fake. 5. Poor Cook. A bad way to start your NFL career. That fumble will have lingering effects on his playing time. And it did last night. 6. Knox was really not in the game plan. I figured he would be, but those quick hitch passes were not his jam. 7. Kupp was dangerous all night and yet not very dangerous. 8. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.. Nationwide, coast to coast. 9. Bills put so many things on film last night. That has to scare and demoralize the competition. Heck even Keyshawn was forced to admit it today. 10. Von's impact on this team can't be overstated. We now have two pillars on this team, Allen and Von. The ying and the yang.

I really like Rich Eisen. Mostly because he is a long suffering fan of a team. I can relate. THIS is after the KC loss in January, but it AGES well. And last night, this was prescient. He speaks the truth.. Get past the hurt of the 13 seconds and just listen to what he says.

Almost to an analyst this off season, the party line was yeah the Bills are great BUT they lost Daboll. No one knows if Dorsey will be a good play caller. Well maybe just maybe we have arrived at the Brady-Belichick point. Is it the coach or is it the player? A lot of what happened last night was Allen seeing the field and doing whatever he wanted. Diggs kind of confirmed it when he said that wasn't even the play, he just told me to run...

That was pretty curios. All the preseason hype about him joining the Rams and no targets. Certainly a head scratcher. I pity the Atlanta Falcons next week. They are getting an upset Rams team.

I have a new stat. Matt Stafford is the first reigning SB champ to leave the season opening game bloodied on Thursday night in 16 years. How'd I do?

We are inventing new stats every day..

Good lord this feels good..

10 Quick observations 1. Miller is worth every penny. Every penny 2. Loved the run defense today. 3. The CBs held up well. 4. Too much gratuitous rushing of Josh in the 4th quarter 5. The 'trash man' dunked on Jalen 6. Diggs and Davis were awesome tonight. McKenzie and Crowder too. 7. That all rush drive in the second half to score a TD was a thing of beauty 8. Buffalo punished the Rams tonight 9. No punter necessary 10. McVay is now 5-1. Can't wait for the talking heads tomorrow.

I bid you all adieu. Good luck Buffalo.. Time to put the computer away, sit back and watch the SB preview...

I won't need one. I doubt I will be able to sleep, win or lose tonight...

My guess is they were overly worried about PI calls against him.

Calm people.. Deep breaths.. Breath in, breath out... Enjoy the ride.

We interrupt this program.. LONDON BRIDGE HAS FALLEN... Those who know, know.. Now back to your regularly scheduled pregame discussions..
