I believe this can be easily fixed especially once Stafford becomes more comfortable with Robinson.
Yeah I knew Stafford played like shit. But with no preseason and vs a front that got quick and consistent pressure without extra rushers I figured there's no reason to get all worked up about it. We're going to be riding his arm this season for good or bad, so the sooner they get him into game shape the better.

With @Kupped and appreciate the review.

It would be interesting to know how much the starting Bill played in pre-season.

If got a respectable amount of snaps this may have been more predictable than I thought.

That second one @Tano showed of Robinson was right in front of us. We all saw it and my SOFI Ramily all wondered what the hell?

Common comments in my circle was the absence of Cam, we laughed when someone asked what the guess was on the play on first down cause we all knew and it became a joke, why no passes to Robinson and the highlight of the game was that freaking kick to end the half. I swear it could have gone another 10 yards and still been easily good.
Bills played their starters in the preseason week 2 against the Broncos

It sure seemed to me Stafford is not comfortable throwing to Robinson yet. He doesn't have the rapport with him. He's using Kupp a his security blanket. Thats fine if you want to get Kupp another triple crown. But defenses will give them that if the other guys aren't contributing.

This loss seems to be on the coach's non-existent game plan.
Don't think that has much if anything to do with it.

This loss is probably a lot of things.

But the Main reason for the loss was the bills physically bullied us
on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
The Bills blew our team off the ball like the Rams were a college team.
That's the bottom line. We were bitch slapped.

I think the team needed a kick in the nuts to remember this league is hard. You let your focus slip a little and any team can make you pay. There have been many good teams get their ass kicked the first game of the season and end up kicking ass the rest of the season.

At first watch I thought Noteboom wasn't too bad.
Then, reading he gave up 8 pressures......well.....not sure what I was seeing.
I thought Shelton had the best game on the OL.....but, that is liking being the tallest dwarf.
I don't understand McVay's hesitation to go away from the 11 look....he is very stubborn.
In a sense I get it.
One of the strengths of his offense is running different plays out of the exact same set and look, thus, disguising them.
The D looked very much like the D the first half of last year.
The completion percentage for opposing QBs was way too high....3rd down conversions way too high....
The most alarming thing to me was the Bills getting home so often with their pass rush with zero blitzes. They had the number one defense and added a healthy and rejuvenated Von Miller.....if you can get pressure without blitzing you are going to win a lot of games.
The Rams don't need a dominant running game....but, enough to keep things honest and help the D with some clock eating possessions.
Got to mix in some passes on first down as well.
Im rambling as suddenly the Falcons give me concern.

This week felt like the Tennessee game last year. They came out and hit us in the throat early and we didn't match their intensity. The Rams had a tendency to do that even last season. I can think of multiple games

It seems to happen to McVay teams every year.
Last year there was the three straight losses.
Teams the are physical on both lines can give the Rams issues.
Next week will be a very good test.
Falcons didn't look bad versus the Saints.

Yeah they put up points on what I thought would be a top defense this year.

Hardly any time to go through his progressions. ARob most of the time will be #2 unless in the red zone. The OL was so bad it's really not a fair evaluation. If they don't show any rapport next week I'll be surprised.

Yes, our team has weaknesses against more physical teams, but our coaching staff could have put a game plan together to compensate.

12-personal with screen passes, for example. Short zones with safety help. Tight man with robbers, etc...

I'd just like to see more creativity, that's all.
