I saw a depleted Rams defense but one that after getting gashed badly the first couple series really settled down and played well overall (4/12 on 3rd downs, 305 yards allowed). But they didn't generate any turnovers while the offense gave the ball away three times. Formula for a loss.
Buffalo is not a bad team. They're not a top 10 team either. To me they're right in the range of the Rams- one of those mid-tier teams that can win or lose almost any game. It was a 23-19 game with minutes to play. And the Rams couldn't pull it out where they had each of the past three weeks.
But now they play Detroit and the Giants in two very winnable games. Detroit's run defense is bad. They're not top-tier in really anything. The Giants offense is a mess. Assuming the Rams get 2 of the 3 DL back this week they could be 4-2 next week which considering 4 of their first 6 games are road games is pretty darn good. And NFC games vs. Detroit and NY Giants are more important to win than Buffalo.
My hope is Trumaine Johnson is out only through the bye week.
