Game Thread: Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Rams, 10/09/16, 4:25 PM EST; CBS

[Retroram52]

So we head to Detroit for the next "contest" I'll decide next week if I am even going to bother watching or not.

 

[Retroram52]

Later everyone.

Like I said, we seem to come out and look good on our first drives, then we are done! Our plays are pretty generic, nothing inventive or special at all, teams don't have to do to much prep work against us.
I'm hoping that Goff isn't playing because he isn't grasping the playbook, because there's nothing to grasp?
Keenum had some bad plays, but overall didn't play bad, but the pick 6 hurt bigly, the fumble hurt bigly, the fake punt hurt bigly, the D gave up Bigly rushing yards.

That's 4 Biglys, and you can't do that

 

[Smed55]

Here's what I don't get: we had 4th and goal from the 4 with 6:39 left and Fisher kicks the FG. I agree with this call. However, after seeing how he tried that awful fake punt run deep in our own territory, wouldn't it make more sense to have tried to score the game tying TD with 6:39 left instead? If they convert, tie game. If they don't, you have Buffalo pinned inside the 5.

That just seems like common sense, but Fisher and crew don't seem to buy into that.

Ha ha, you said common sense!

If we can score a TD next week, we have a chance to win, oh and get 7 FG's from Zuerlien!

"What the hell is a Touchdown?" Jeff Fisher, Rob Boras, Case Keenum

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Terrible game...Our D game us chances to stay in the game and/or win, but our O blew the opportunities with stupid mistakes...Turnovers, drops, etc...

Depends on how much of the defense is healthy. Missing 3 DL starters today and lost Tru. If some of these guys can get back quickly, the only real expected losses IMO are still the Panthers, Patriots, Seahawks, and Cardinals, and they've already beat two of those three this year. Falcons will likely have screwed up their season by then (although Julio will still eat us alive), the Saints can't defend anyone, the Dolphins are crap, the Jets Giants are VERY hit and miss, and the Lions can barely get out of their own way. Even the Panthers are reeling right now.

All that said, this team truly can win or lose vs any opponent without warning or logical sense.

 

[PhilliesRamsSuns]

Wouldn't be surprised if we got a Week 8 Loss...

 

[Chilipepper]

Can't beat a team that just flew 3,000 with a junk QB. Offense stunk again. Red Zone is like a wall to the RAMS. Time to put in Goff to get the experience for next season. I was having visions of Grandeur that the offense would start to get better.

With Case Keenumb at the helm... 4... maybe 5.

I think that's why Jeff Fisher keeps him around. Keenumb is the consummate 7-9 QB.

 

[Vitamike]

So far typical Ram game, look good on first drive until a drive killing false start resulting in 3rd and 13, than send Austin 5 yards out, well played Rams!

Then give up huge 3rd and forever on defense, well played Rams!

Then play decent defense on scoring pass, but can't get Tayor and he scrambles long enough to find open receiver, well played Rams

Did I mention seems to be typical Ram game so far?

FIFY, you forgot the drive killing penalty that always creeps in and costs us points. 4 pts in this instance.

 

[Retroram52]

Well Vita, having spent 8 years in the cancer research industry, there are PLENTY of agencies focusing on all cancers but this pink stuff is a push for just one type of cancer (breast). Perhaps you shaint be so quick to give me awards just because you have respect for that endeavor and have that as your only criteria for the NFL's involvement. I understand your point though.

[Chilipepper]

I like the pink breast cancer stuff. But I believe it's done way too much.

 

[Chilipepper]

RAMS had a chance to go 4-1 but fell flat on their faces once again. I thought they would be pumped but it looked to me like they were going through the motions

I hate excuses however they were very thin on the defensive line vs the Bills, a huge part of the Rams' game.

This offense is so over matched in the trenches, it's hard to tell if we have suitable talent anywhere else on offense.

Even Pro Bowl Gurley looks to be challenged, when we all can probably agree that it's the offensive line and lack of a decent passing attack.

I wonder if this O line was able to pass block, where we might be.

This OL has got to be one of the worst in the league?? Where is the talent??
