Rams vs. Bills: A Thrilling Monday Night Football Recap

And I've calmed down a little bit, but I'm still very angry. I want to get your thoughts first before I go all in on my Rams. What were your thoughts on this thrilling Monday night football game? I mean, it was a shootout. Well, first of all, I would be remiss if I didn't say congratulations on your wedding. I wish you nothing but the best and happiness with your lovely wife, I'm sure. Thank you, John. She's got herself a great catch, and I hope you guys can have a beautiful future together. Appreciate it. And that's awesome. Now, let's get down to why you're mad. As the mad rapper would say from the early 90s, tell me why you mad, son. Tell me why you mad. That was a treat. There, to me, there are no losers from that game. That was one of the best games you will see played in football. You have one MVP versus another MVP. One MVP at full strength, going full Josh Allen, on the Rams secondary, and their linebacking core. They could do nothing about it. Nothing. But then you have Landman punching the ball out repeatedly, almost retiring James Cook's career right before your eyes. It was a phenomenal football game, which at the end of the day, guys are going to make plays. Landman made multiple plays to create opportunities for the Rams in that defense who couldn't seem, their secondary just seemed to take the night off again. but then at the end of the day the other team gets paid too and you saw their top pass rusher in a place where he usually doesn't play because he makes so much money get on the field and overpower somebody who's just not talented because their own special teams and block the kick that's what happened that's literally what happened so i don't you know could could they ran a play to got closer yeah sure they could have my biggest takeaway from that game my biggest problem with that game is Puka Nacua had 24 targets while you have a healthy Davante Adams just active in the game running around Puka Nacua had 24 targets he's not gonna make it to the end of the season like this he's just not and Matthew Stafford has to find someone else to throw the ball to or he's going to have Puka Nacua carried off on a stretcher now he's a gamer and puka you throw it to me i'm gonna catch it i'm gonna do the best i could but by the catch target 1920 he looks cooked he looked unbelievably cooked but it was a great game from both sides the fans won if you're a fan of football you won on monday night because that was delicious yeah i made sure to kind of record some of the the moments between Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford because i don't know how many battles these two are going to have left and it was just an absolutely an incredible game just offensively you know uh the defense i figured it would be non-existent in a game like this especially with how the bills have played on defense with how the rams have played on defense um but i mean my god it was just like back and forth there were eight lead changes uh 35 combined points in the fourth um yeah the bills led 13 to 7 at the half and you're thinking well man these two teams should be it should be like 20 to 17 at the half it really wasn't and then in the second half they just found both of the offenses found their groove uh Kyron Williams was good again Josh Allen i mean you know watching Josh Allen in in person you know it's it's much different it's i say this about every sport you know watching it in person is much different than than watching it on TV and watching Josh Allen in person the way he moves at his size is just incredible he's deking out linebackers he's out running corners he is faster than anyone like he's as fast as receivers when he gets out of the pocket and that ability just cooked the Rams on multiple third downs i mean they could not stop him if he got out of the pocket and that's a big reason why Buffalo was able to put up 37 points to win but John the main the main takeaway here the Rams lost okay they're two and three now yes the Eagles are two and three we'll get to them the Jets are two and three now this was touted John as a super team oh my god super team Rams they're gonna be four and one nobody's gonna be able to beat them Aaron Donald with Myles Garrett oh my god i get it Myles Garrett is not there i understand and i understand that Aaron Donald probably needed to be kind of worked into last night was his best game he looked incredible yeah i agree with you he looked incredible he had that burst again he remember he took that week off against the Eagles he didn't play in that game they ended up winning that game but the special teams okay oh there are i'm going to say this there are things that i see in teams that don't win championships that come up over the course of a season that you kind of just dismiss for a while like oh well uh yeah they missed that block and they'll lose this game in October but down the line they'll be fine and with this Rams team over the past three four seasons a common theme for them has been special teams and how inadequate they are at special teams and year after year in the offseason well are they going to address it Xavier Smith fumbles the punt against the Seahawks well are they going to replace him they didn't they brought him back they finally got rid of him but four weeks in they got rid of him they didn't get rid of him in the offseason you go to the kicker Matt Gay was phenomenal for them in 2021 they decided John to not pay Matt Gay they said okay Colts go ahead you can pay him as much money as you want we'll figure out something else they drafted Josh Carty failure didn't work so they've been searching on special teams for multiple years now and you can make the case that that has cost them chances at titles that has cost them chances at making deep runs into the playoffs because they have failed at special teams and they have brushed that off and for a team John that is coached by Sean McVay that is Sean McVay is touted as this genius on that third and five he failed and on special teams his guys that he hired and that he brought in failed and i don't know how many times we're going to keep going through this he finally got rid of Harrison Mavise, even though I don't even think that block was his fault, but I just don't know how many more opportunities we're going to give Sean McVay to make these dumb mistakes by a coach that is touted as a top three coach in the league.
