In context
PelisseroYeah, they're right there.
KapadiaIt wouldn't surprise me if this were a Superbowl matchup. It was a weird game because the Rams couldn't get any explosive plays until like deep into the third quarter where I think their first 50 plays they ran, they didn't have a single play of 20 plus yards. So they were stringing together these long methodical drives.
KapadiaSo there weren't a lot of possessions. The bills are turning the football over a little bit. There are penalties. There's still two great teams. I mean, Matthew Stafford, 40 for 54 for 383 yards and three touchdowns in this game. He takes one sack that possession they had at the end of regulation. I don't know that I've seen a two minute drill to force a game into overtime.
KapadiaThat's looked easier. I mean, it was just like, no doubt that he's going to complete pass after pass after pass right there. I still think the Rams had the potential to be a great team. And the thing that I like about them the most is that I feel like once we get to November, we're really going to see that they're going to be able to win in more than one way tonight.
KapadiaWas their defense great? No, they're deep, but you're facing Josh Allen and you're facing one of the five best offenses in the NFL. I do see the upside of that defense. I think you see it in spurts. You're going to get Miles Garrett back. Eventually Trent McDuffie's been playing awesome. So I feel like they're a team that can withstand a game where maybe you turn it over a couple of times.
KapadiaMaybe Matthew Stafford doesn't have his a game for one game. You're going to be able to win in different ways. I like Buffalo a lot, but I am worried about their defense. You know, we're, we're five weeks in. And if you look at it statistically, the only team worse than them in terms of EPA are the Detroit Lions.
KapadiaI don't think that people would guess that, that they are worse than the Cowboys right now. Now, they just faced a great opponent. But that defense has question marks, both with personnel, both with learning a new scheme, where I wonder how active they're going to be at the trade deadline or whether they're just going to say, hey, we're going to get better with some of these younger players.
