Russ Salvatore for Wall of Fame!
Yes, the Bills making the playoffs are about as slim as me winning the NYS Powerball. They are 5-7 and have a great shot at being one game below .500 with a win. Hooray! This week, they take on the St. Louis Rams. As we do every week, we are joined by the opposing team's blogger. The fine folks over at Rams Herd answer all my questions about Sam Bradford, Jeff Fisher, their defense and Stephen Jackson. Enjoy and tell a friend.
1) If you were the opposing offensive/defensive coordinator, how would you attack the Rams?
The AFC East has been putting on a primer on “how to beat the Rams” so far. Defensively, the Rams play a lot of soft zone designed to let defensive backs keep the play in front of them, and mix in varying levels of blitz into their pass rush. If you have a premier offensive line like the Patriots, that means you can simply sit back in the pocket and run crosses and digs into the zone ad nauseam and wait for the eventual...

The Win 49ers Game Was One of Bradford’s Best Games
After the win against San Francisco, I would have expected numerous positive tweets and message board posts about Bradford’s play in the game. However, I saw something entirely different.

Cruddy Show: Should Janoris Jenkins be a Pro Bowler?
St. Louis Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins has scored three defensive touchdowns during the previous two weeks, helping the Rams to a pair of wins.
The victories have positioned the Rams, who now have a 5-6-1 record, for a shot at making the playoffs and Jenkins is a huge reason as to why.
The guys from The Cruddy Show debated on Wednesday night whether Jenkins should indeed be...

St. Louis Rams building a passing game
ST. LOUIS (AP) Sam Bradford can't help but be excited about the St. Louis Rams' passing attack.
After two seasons with some of the least impressive receivers in the league, the third-year quarterback sees his options increasing with each week. His latest favorite target is rookie Chris Givens, who had a season-best 11 receptions in a 16-13 overtime victory against San Francisco...
Rams enjoying deepest defensive unit in years
(Eds: Updates.) By JASON YOUNG Associated Press The St. Louis Rams haven't had a defensive coordinator since Gregg Williams was handed an indefinite ban by the NFL for his part in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.
St. Louis' defense also hasn't had a Pro Bowl selection since 2003, but with four games left in the regular season and faint playoff hopes still...
Danny Amendola is Questionable
Rams wideout Danny Amendola was a limited participant in Friday's practice. He's questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo because of a heel injury.
Fantasy Spin:

A brief rant on the Rams' 4th-and-1 play.
By all reckoning, the Rams were fortunate to come away with a win against the 49ers. If not for eight points put on the board by an opportunistic defense - with help from the referees, the NFL's arcane challenge rules, and a bizarre and poorly executed option play - the Rams lose. And if that had happened, one play would have stood out above all others as the crux of the loss...
