NFL kickoff thread: Bills@ Rams

[jonjon]

Imagine him and Jefferson together...

[jonjon]

Short dump-offs to Henderson. Oh yeah that's the answer baby

[RollerColt]

Josh Allen is a big bad man.

[RollerColt]

Bills finally remembered they have Singletary.

[John Waylon]

Buffalo is tough. 

[jonjon]

Again where's the Bills' highly-touted rookie RB?

[RollerColt]

Jesus Christ, Von Miller looked like a mauling bear on that sack!

I wasn’t aware there had been any… Singletary has had the job since last season.

[jonjon]

I looked it up...Cook. Apparently, I missed it earlier when he fumbled on his first carry, I guess that's why we haven't seen him. Mistake IMO.

Lol it was an ugly fumble. Not even forced. He just put it on the floor. 

[jonjon]

I get being benched for that but not the whole game. Everyone makes mistakes, give the rook a chance.

Other than being the brother of Dalvin Cook, I did not know him. Is he really "highly-touted"?

I'm not saying he was the second coming of Taylor, but he was a 2d round pick and I was hearing big things earlier this year (after the draft).

 

Wow big play, could be a back-breaker for the Rams there.

[EastStreet]

24-10...

Go Rams lol

Moss has just played better tonight. 
 

Tbh I don’t want to play Buffalo. 
 

That’s a damn good team. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Anyone else disappointed that Aaron Donald is playing in the opening game?

 

For those who do or don’t know I say this because in a joint practice he was swinging a helmet at the opposing team players. Since it occurred in a practice the league doesn’t do anything about it. Rams said they would discipline him privately. But in my opinion he should have been suspended a few games by the Rams for his despicable actions. Myles Garrett did this in a game a few years ago (I believe) and he was suspended for a number of games because of it.

 

I am sure the Rams didn’t want to suspend him because he is “too important” to the team.

@VikingsFanInChennai, Josh Allen looks good.

Garrett was vilified too.

 

I did not hear about the incident with Donald. The media like him.

Welcome to the NFL. You can get away with anything if you're good enough on the field. 

[jonjon]

Game over.

Bills evening out their turnover margin now, they definitely probably have this in the bag.

I predict a Bills' win and it won't be as close as one would expect. 

 

You can all start your applause and shaking your head in amazement now. I am available for hire for gambling purposes.

 

Yes of course I'm kidding.

[EastStreet]

LAR's #1 DL..... beating by Bills #13 DL....

 

Allen sacked 2

Stafford sacked 6

 

And both QBs INT'd twice... LAR DBs #9, Bills #6

[Happy2BeHere]

Ramsey been burned a handful of times this game. Maybe his greatness isn’t so great anymore…

[runthepost]

Josh Allen revenge tour?

[jonjon]

It's only one week but I didn't feel the Rams were sniffing the SB this year and they've done nothing to alleviate that feeling. The path is once again laid wide open for "I have more luck than a truck full of 4-leaf clovers" Brady as there is nobody else in the NFC who has a prayer.

[John Waylon]

Robinson has not been targeted the way I expected tonight.

To say the least. Very odd.

[holeymoley99]

Bills a very good team, will hold most every club down like last season. No player will score 5 tds against them this year like they didnt last year.......oh wait...

Packers running through the NFC, too much firepower on offense.

Thanks I just spit water out of my nose.

 

Another turnover lol - can these teams not hold on to the ball?

Ram's #11 OL.... bad

Ram's #1 DL.... meh

Spit all you want but G.B. loaded...best 1-2 rb in NFC and ton of young talent at wr spot.   We see rams exposed, Bucs are a total % show right now (Im down here trust me a joke), Cowboys and eagles media darlings but.... and SF relying on a QB who is unproven. Pack safe bet for a reason.

[jonjon]

I'm sorry I never understood this - a team is down by a lot with time running out and they dink and dunk the ball. If you're going to just give up, why even bother throwing? Just run up the gut every play. Takes deep shots down field. It's unlikely to work, but unlikely beats the hell out of zero chance. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

- Uh Homer you meant Buffalo. "I said New York"

Please do point us to the last time a SB was won by a team with the "Best 1-2 rb" and a "ton of young talent at wr" (which itself is debatable to put it kindly).

Working on timing for future games is all...

[NewColtsFan]

What d et side you’re on, I’d caution reading too much into most any game 1.   I try not to read too much into most September games.  Teams are playing their way into peak form. 
 

These games may count as much as the rest in Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan,  but honestly nobody is really 100 percent ready yet.   Everybody is doing the best they can under difficult circumstances.
