Well, we are at a place none of us predicted we would be. Surprising indeed and impressive. This game is the second game on Sunday. Should be a good game with all of the sub-stories. We shall see how this one plays out!

All things are right in the world when Sunday has my Bills at 1pm and my Rams at 4:30pm.

Rams have the most trouble with mobile QB's and Goff is not a scrambler. He may be forced to check down the entire game like he did with the Rams. I fear the long pass the most so the defense needs to get to Goff and get to him often. If they do that the Rams will win this game.

That will be a tall task.

Rams don’t have a great pass rush, and Detroit has one of the best O-lines in the league.

Plus, our secondary sucks.

It will help in LaPorta doesn’t play, but we shall see.

How do you balance being a fan of 2 teams?

Rams have been my #1 since the 1979 playoffs. Bills are a birthright here in Western NY, whole family are fans. Rams take priority unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Harkens back to 1999/00 when they were both in the playoffs and the Bills lost to the Titans on that forward pass on the last second KO return, as well as 2021/22 when the Bills again fell short losing to the Chiefs (again failing with prevent defense with 13 seconds left).

This year, the Bills should have the better chance, but who knows lol. A Bills/Rams SB is still a possibility...

Rams defense is better than people think. Goff is not going to leave the pocket and the pass rush will get to Goff. And the Lion's secondary sucks a lot more than you said the Rams do. You have been off base all season so we will see next week who is right and whom is wrong.

I hope I am wrong, Ram.

And I didn’t say they were going to lose, I just said the Rams have a tall task ahead of them trying to get to Goff with their lack of pass rush and Detroits top 5 OL.

And if they can’t get pressure ( which we know is a big weakness for Goff ), then the secondary is going to have trouble.

The Rams D is playing a little better, but I agree with you our pass rush needs to be better to help out the DB who suck? Washington gave up the most sacks in the league with 85 and we got one against them!!!!! They give up waaaaaaaay to many big plays, and it seems like its always on 3rd or 4th down!!!
