KD in CA Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, the Rams stink but hopefully the Bills learned today that you can't afford to come out flat against anybody in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Lynch and Jackson should be able to gain 180 yards each against the Rams. Their defense is trying to establish a new low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It's going to be interesting to see how this week shakes down for the RAMS. The team isn't talentless but the coaching staff has completely lost them. Bulger is suffering from the same syndrome Bledsoe had - he's simply been hit too hard and too often. The OLine is in shambles and the DBs (especially Ty Hill) can't cover anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeticlaw Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 How does everyone think we match up against the Rams? If seattle was able to blow them out and we blew seattle out there should be no reason we lose this game. 4-0 is a nice way to start a season if we are to be called a playoff caliber team we have to beat the teams we are suppose to beat an St louis is a team we are suppose to beat!!!!!!!!!

I agree they are a team we are supposed to beat, - but so was Oakland and they gave us (almost) all we could handle. I hope the Bills learned their lesson not to overlook anyone or take anything for granted. One week at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsD#1in2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ya i hope we learned that today and we work extra hard in practice this week to make sure we take care of business against St.Louis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, the Rams stink but hopefully the Bills learned today that you can't afford to come out flat against anybody in the NFL. It was a lesson that obviously needed to be learned--glad it could be taught in a W instead of a loss. As for the Rams, their defense (especially the DB's) is nowhere near as good as the defenses the Bills have faced thus far. Get off to a good start, and the Rams will quit-- as evidenced by today's performance vs. Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ax4782 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think Buffalo learned a very important lesson today, and that was clear from the post game interviews. That being said, the Raiders have one of the best secondaries in the game and they have a very good front four, both of which played to the top of their game today. Oakland was not the piss ant team that many people made them out to be. Their offense can only run the ball, and Buffalo held Run DMC and the other Bush to 98 total rushing yards on the day. Looking at the overall stat line, we beat them pretty soundly, and in years past when we have been in close games like this, take Denver and Dallas last year, we would have lost. I think the last two wins show the character of this football team and excellent coaching staff we have in place here in Buffalo. That being said, the Bills have to show up with everything they have next week, because those the Rams D is bad, their O can still put up points when given the opportunity. Our #5 ranked pass D will have to be on top of their game. Keep in mind, if the Bills do manage to beat the Rams and go to 4-0, the Cardinals are playing another east coast game this week at the NYJ next Sunday. Their coach has said they will NOT be going back west, but rather will stay here to avoid the time change twice in two weeks. This bodes well for the Bills, as the Cardinals, after two weeks on the east coast will have the same travel problems that we always do going out west, negating one of the perceived advantages West Coast teams have when playing at home against East coast opponents. With that evening out, Buffalo may be favored in that game too with a chance to be 5-0 at the Bye, and with a less than stellar looking SD team coming into town.

SuperBills12 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 hear me out, THIS WILL BE A TOUGH GAME...The Rams will be fighting hard to avoid going 0-4 at home...I wish they would have won today so they won't be motivated to get their first win against us....I think the Bills will win, but it won't be a blow out as many suggest (see raiders game) Bills 27 Rams 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to serve to make teams get big heads, sets them up for a loss the next week, etc. So I hope we don't blow them out. A nice comfortable 2 TD win would be nice though, you know the kind where you go ahead early and hold the lead the whole game? Yeah, that sounds nice...

H2o Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The Rams are dreadful this year. They probably have THE WORST offensive line in the NFL. Everyone has been beating them handily. Seattle stomped them today. We stomped Seattle. Bills 38 Rams 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprulz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I was looking at some early lines Bills are favored by 8.5 to 9.5. http://donbest.com/EN/main/nfl/nfl_main.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
