Only one match-up I really care about this Week 5 weekend: Bills vs. Rams (you know, the team that thinks they won a SB in Week 2)

Despite the fact it's a non-conference game, a win would put the Bills at 3-2 and be a huge help toward eventually getting a wildcard seed in the playoffs (unless the Pats inexplicably fall apart), so there's no question they have more then enough motivation to get a win streak started after last week's shut-out win.

Against the Rams (who obviously would love to go 4-1), Bills' OL will have their hands full, and they'll be on Rams' turf. But because Fisher has this peculiar crush on playing his most physical game specifically vs. Seattle, Bills may have a pretty good chance.

A Bills' loss would put them at 2-3 and probably mark the beginning of conceding the AFC East to the Pats once again. So, Bills vs. Rams should be a good game. Then after that, there's no doubt the Bills will be salivating at the prospect of sweeping the Pats three weeks later on October 30 in Buffalo.

Rams DL players have not been practicing this week.

Quinn, didn't practice all week - unlikely to play.

Hayes and Brockers also not practicing, and likely to play is not known yet.

Well, that changes this for this week.

I hear that RB Murray jammed his hand in practice. He's prolly happy to see these DL Ram's issues.

Rams have enough depth on D line. For now. Will need time consuming drives from the offense to give the D a rest. 4th quarter could be dicey. Nothing new there.

Rams have enough depth on D line to allow GW to switch them out both for specific plays, and for team rest. The depth only is successful if the "stars" of the line are able to absorb the main focus of the game plan.

Do not delude yourself that this is not a problem.

It is not ideal but within the ability of the Rams D.

Everything is within a possibility.

My concern, which I have not had time to look up yet - is Dareus or whatever the spelling back this week for the Bills?

That could very well affect Gurley.

It is the only game I will watch.

Which is more than what most Rams fans are doing.

Why the fork are there so many Lambs fans here? Don't they have a board of their own to type on? Pathetic. GoBills!!!

Girley fumbles and Bills cash it in...how did we lose to the Rams?????

You did, er, notice the officiating in that game, right? It was atrocious. So bad it brought out the "It's fixed so LA gets the win in their return to LA opener" crowd...
