AJ1 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Road games are tough in this league, almost always, when you are a young team like the Bills. This game is clearly not a pushover, and should be a much tougher game than the one last week that we played at home. Remember the one where we trailed most of the game, and were down 9 points with six minutes to play? I'm worried about this game, too, and it will be a test for Jauron to get them all up for it. A difference here is Green should be sacked at least 5 times and forced into about 3 ints. If he isn't then our defense played like slackers.

eball Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Gang -- I've seen trap games, and this is no trap game. LAST week was a trap game. If the Rams win, it will be because they get their heads out of their asses and play a great game, or because the weird-shaped ball bounces crazily. It won't be the result of an overconfident or ill-prepared Bills' squad. I honestly believe that.

If SJ hits the hole hard and our D misses tackles like it did last week ('cept 4th Q), could be a long day. And I concur with what another poster said about the Rams throwing everything at us to win this, i.e., going for it on 4th down, fake fieldgoals, trick plays, etc.

Don't know what you watched. Do you think the Bills realize St. Louis is desperate also? I don't think they'll be fooled by ST trickery.

Do you think the Bills realize St. Louis is desperate also? I don't think they'll be fooled by ST trickery. I definitely counted more than that. And the tackling wasn't great in the Jax game either. And yes I think the Bills realize that the Rams are desparate - just like the realized the Raiders were. And they still came out flat.

No offense, but I'll trust the DC's review of the tape over yours.
macaroni Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Can anyone clue me/other curious fans as to where The Rams are strongest/weakest. Their strongest point this year is that they have spiffy uniforms. They are pretty weak in every other aspect of the game of football.
jarthur31 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 http://fannation.com/peter_king_challenge/peter_king Buffalo Bills (3-0) at St. Louis Rams (0-3) Would anyone have guessed the Bills would be a road favorite by more than a touchdown in this decade? Something about this game doesn't smell right to me. Ram GM Billy Devaney said the other day the team is putting every ounce of energy into winning this one game, and Trent Green will play more decisively than Marc Bulger was, if both of their recent history is any indication. Just a hunch the Rams have a big Sunday in 'em. Prediction: St. Louis Rams 23, Buffalo Bills 13 I gotta say, I am nervous about this game. Rams players are being benched and released left and right, this team is desparate, their coaches' and GM's backs are against the wall. What an ignorant statement to make. Their probs lie on both sides of their lines, not the QB position and in their secondary. Last time I checked Bulger didn't play there. McKelvin may get his ST TD on Sunday afternoon.

And "on any given Sunday".....blah, blah, blah. But not THIS Sunday. Not unless the Rams take Super Pills and the Bills are all drunk. Green has exactly how much experience with the offense? Look at how lost Favre was at times on Monday night. Does anyone think Green is going to have the game of his life? The better question is: Which quarter will Green get his next concussion?
Fewell733 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 just blitz the sh** out of Trent Green and get him to start having flashbacks; keep it steady on offense and special teams and we win. One thing about Jauron's team is that I can't really recall him losing many, if any, games we should have won. (knocking on wood right now)
turftoe Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Peter King has always been a big time Patriots lover. It flavors everything he writes about other AFC east teams. This is probably wishful thinking on his part.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 King makes a very good point...The Rams have an opportunity to win a game against an unbeaten team at HOME and renew the fans trust and confidence in the teams desire/commitment to win. I'd be vary wary of the Rams pulling out all the stops in this game...going for it on 4th down, fake punts or FG's...anything and everything. Just sayin' And I could be heavyweight champ if I knock out Joe Frazier. PTR
Alaska Darin Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I saw that just now, !@#$ King. I'm confident we'll be fine. The Rams are bad. They don't have a bunch of fast playmakers that can make a difference like the Radiers do. Trent needs to take command of the offense, and there is no way our defense gives up more than 17 points. So Tori Holt and Jackson aren't playmakers? The Rams have talent. They hate their coach. It's pretty much that simple.
lilannie Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 So Tori Holt and Jackson aren't playmakers? The Rams have talent. They hate their coach. It's pretty much that simple. I've never heard of "Tori Holt" is she Torry Holt's sister?
sabresfan30 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Good Teams don't let these things happen. They dont let injuries happen?
DrFishfinder Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Alot actually he played with Al saunders in KC Still doesn't make him in sync with the offense. Betcha he throws 2 picks!
deep2evans Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 So Tori Holt and Jackson aren't playmakers? The Rams have talent. They hate their coach. It's pretty much that simple. I was mainly referring to their defense, the one that surrenders 35+ points a game. I can't see them slowing us down at all. Maybe a "welcome to the NFL" game for Mr. James Hardy.

We'll be ready for their initial enthusiasm, which hsould ebb by the end of the first quarter. Bills 31-10.
