It's a wrap about an hour ago the Buffalo Bills they showed every body while they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders as they beat up on the reigning Super Bowl champions tonight. Buffalo beats the Rams and Los Angeles.

The final score 31 to 10. This game was tied at 10 all at half time. But let me tell you that it was not competitive not at the end turnovers The Los Angeles Rams in this game in Buffalo. Just turn things on in the second half and that was pretty much all that she wrote on being joined here by super producer in the host, Dave Shepherd and a big shout outs and thank you to everybody listening all over North America. I'm to be rolling here with you for the next two hours. This is a four hour show I get started every night 10 PM Eastern time is 7 PM Pacific. You can always listen on the free Odyssey at you can tune in on your local affiliate Sirius XM channel 158 and if your fancy enough to have a smart speaker.

If you talk to computer if you talk to machine's get its attention. Say hey play CBS sports radio now this was a this was a massive open.

There's no other way for me to call it. It really is. You know, last night I sat here with you on CBS sports radio and I did a few things I gave you a top six list and I told you when it came down to the team. I believe had the best chance to go ahead and win the Super Bowl this year when the Super Bowl was going to be the Buffalo Bills because of all their talent on offense because of all that talent on defense and II gave you the Rams as well. We haven't seen a team repeat as Super Bowl champs since the New England Patriots did it into thousand five and that's not to say that it will not happen again this year, but it's a tough thing to do and every single season the you know, one team gets punched in the mouth and then they come back it's typically a learning experience every single season that we have seen Josh Allen at the health of the Buffalo Bills. They've improved this past the playoffs. One of the best games ever. They lost difficult fashion playoff fashion over time that it sucked a look at and added back in a better be actually added someone who just won the Super Bowl is one of the best defenders to play in the NFL ever's name is Juan Miller, the man wanted championship in Denver, who became a rental last year with the Rams help them win the Super Bowl and eyes here with the Broncos excuse me see with the bills six-year deal. $120 million and you want to know something.

It didn't take Von Miller a lot of time to introduce himself formally to bills fans in a regular-season because Mondello tonight. This man didn't just tap one sack against his former team Von Miller didn't just have two sacks against his former team.

He also had three tackles for loss and by the way, Matthew Stafford for tonight, he was sacked seven times courtesy the bills radio network.

How about we hear the first von Miller sack and seconded to kill his throat again. This time Stafford surrounded by building a 49 yard line, and brought him down the panorama the future Hall of Famer with this first set in a Buffalo Bills uniform all that was so nice. That was early in the game. What about twice listen second 941 now begun Stafford to drop their von Miller from the blindside sack them all the way back to my 9 yards on that set von Miller obviously immediately paying dividends as a member of the Buffalo Bills. It Matthew Stafford remember the guy. It was we learned earlier in the day elbow injury. He actually had surgery in the off-season house at on Fila right now a better day feeling all a damn good seven sacks.

This was bad tonight Matthew Stafford three interceptions. One such down the one touchdown. Want to guess who went to Cooper cop Cooper cop is the only guy we have a good night. 13 receptions 128 yards and he had a touchdown in the back of the end zone. You know, one of those TDs that you grab what you just keep your toes and bounce exciting, but there wasn't a damn thing else exciting tonight for these Rams. This is the worst loss by Sean McVeigh since 2017 Alan Robinson making his debut. He was the, the wide receiver signing tonight what he knew he only had one catch. Much thanks you got a get involved next on. This is the first time, even though it's one game that Sean McVeigh has been underneath or sub 500 this was just bad bad. All around and von Miller just wanted championship with the Rams von Miller's drama. When one now with the bills and pick up his third ring and afterwards he spoke to the media and he told every body all hell year. I'm happy let's not happy was great tonight. Your good event to celebrate and I will make a plan to back lose on the way home and then tomorrow I just know, what happened tonight and aiming for a bigger game coming up in his Tennessee time mama.

I hope that plane doesn't do backflips on the way back to Buffalo just go straight please. That'll be nice.

So, von Miller, we know you going to the Hall of Fame.

He's just trying to add onto his own personal legacy by winning a championship you with the Buffalo Bills and what a hell of a way to start. But the man who is the centerpiece of the Buffalo Bills team. The man was the centerpiece of their offense, the man who didn't receive a damn offer on a high school the man that had to go and seek an opportunity play football is one of the best quarterbacks in the game's name is Josh Allen and tonight he helped contribute for count for touchdowns, three touchdowns in the air. Three separate receivers one rushing touchdown in the third quarter even decided to hand out one helluva of us to farm this man was no rushing the ball is rushing touchdown. He he extended that arm out over the goal line like he was like he was sent on a Michael Jordan listen to this touchdown run for yards and in Josh Allen given the super stretch Josh look through his once touchdown helluva good stretch out. That was in the fourth quarter put them up 24 to 10, but with so many damn turnovers they get the ball back and what else happens. This was the final score of the game really this is Josh Allen. Not only is he rushing for touchdowns. I told you he threw three bombs this one happen to go out to Stefon Diggs on you know what 53 yards like it was nothing. This push the score to 31 son, which was the final lesson you may think that the end zone while know we can we talk about heavy pressure.

I told you about Josh Allen.

Fortunately to interceptions. One of them off the hands and same thing for Matthew Stafford.

He was snake bidden a couple of his turnovers, but dammit three INC that's that's tough to be sacked seven times to throw three interceptions that that sucks. There's no other way to put it in that third interception of the game was late in the game, boogie bash and he tipped it and snatched about the year all by himself. 4525 yard line.

So now the doors closing fast on the ramp door. The door edges) as the got shot near face Stefon Diggs tonight man 84 yards and a touchdown with with Ramsey pretty much on them tonight while Stefon Diggs ultimately finished the night with 122 yards. You want to talk about pressure. I told you that it Matthew Stafford was feeling all night long. But somehow, someway, Sean McVeigh, who even at 36 years old is been one of the best coaches in the NFL. Even after the loss Sean McVeigh. He he sees the positive in the situation I can do better. There was a lot of decisions that I made that I felt I didn't put our players in good enough spots is a humbling experience for to stay connected run all look in word when I do a better job moving forward but you give credit to the bills and we got understand that we got out that my sentimentality be able to move forward accordingly.

But you know I do take a lot of responsibility in this was a very humbling night, but one that I got be able to look yourself in the mirror say I got to be better within the framework of my role.

That's exactly drama do, that's what I nor coaches are to do. That's what our players are going to do or stay together and were looking forward to our next opportunity to be resilient and and respond.

Damn hey Shep, Sean McVeigh makes me want to drink a five hour energy drink like the guy I like him but I mean Danny how many five hours and coffees do you think you have today, but the man a lot if it's a very, very energetic fellow and I'm sure right now, this moment, this second.

He's probably pouring through some film because he's a great coach. I know something else that he probably wants he probably wants the return ultimately of old Dell Beckham Junior let's keep in mind this opening night game and Matchup Took Pl. in Los Angeles.

They raise the banner Whitworth was on hand.

We know he is now a broadcaster and announcer and all doubt old Dell Beckham Junior he was there as well to help raise the banner he was holding the Vince Lombardi trophy and we have heard reports that the Rams are leaving a locker open for him.

He was there on the field celebrating their victory in the Super Bowl as they raise the banner and even know von Miller is on the other team right now. He took time out of his press conference when asked to talk about old Dell and his potential future. Take a lesson he said where one is gaining as we go. Charlie is truth behind every joke. So we had to see you know he's a huge part of our success last year and whenever you get help whenever he does have the man I'm sure is a lot of things that you won't get away and see where I think we did everything we possibly don't just got in a way to just healthy man got a great squad over here. I think everybody know so I can just add another weatherman is another got out there we could get the ball to man right now. Mel got a great group of guys met in Isaiah McKenzie gave Davis on Dr. Knox Diggs man all running backs went crazy today off is landlocked where we got a great team and you don't keep going and weep whenever you just have Kelly will notice you haven't now will we will see what happens and what takes place with old Dell Beckham Junior.

We most certainly know if we look back the last season Vaughn was recruited.

These two guys were just like all you Los Angeles Los Angeles. Let's try to do it in Los Angeles and they did it. Unfortunately fall Dell Beckham Junior we saw him go down in that Super Bowl and so as we move on and see where he gets picked up.

Well, dammit.

We'll see what tonight a ridiculous statement game. It was tense and at halftime, and that really wasn't indicative of what the Buffalo Bills were doing. Josh Allen started off the game a perfect 10 of 10 throws a touchdown has an interception tipped and then 1010 when we get into the second half. The Rams don't even score don't even put a point.

They were shut out the Rams were shut out in the second half sold the first game of the season.

Welcome to 2022. The Buffalo Bills are the favorites. They are favorite for reason and this is not an exaggeration. This is not just looking at a team on paper that bad ass. We just have to see if they can do it throughout the entire season. If they can. We got a lot of fans in Buffalo who will be thrilled the Rams will be fine. They will be okay unless Matthew Stafford's arm falls off and you know runs into the ocean. They will be fine.

They'll be okay. But tonight's the bills and what are they going to do against Tennessee Buffalo Bills probably won't beat them up to want to come back, who's next for the Rams. Well, we know that they're not going to play this upcoming week to take on Atlanta and we know this. The Rams probably won't beat the living hell out of them. Falcons will be okay.

That's 855-2124 CBS Kareem is: from Callie your CBS sports radio go-ahead.

Kareem Gardner, Americo Beverly you know them built Meredith… One of the property from going and you know you made it, let had about three turnovers welcome to been a lot. What I would cook got about 30 but you know the years about Buffalo last year when a plaintiff divisional grammar. They couldn't find the defense decided they they live from our planet of move mag I am at a one night gamble or Beckham walked down the stretch, but rather one that got about out all probably be different. Wrapping last year the bubonic franchise is true, but also the where we on the 2022 year.our heels. The map I just want to share about my mind go everybody been talking about actually ready you may not be but I love the way that well below number Of poorly getting to you, not to the point where you said about how to work being played out, restructured and got back with pain that you know basically fight their book the bill came in the Super Bowl this year. So even if Troy don't pan out there like Johnson would drop they would get a top body. We won't be all right on brother have a blank use. Well Kareem thank you for: California Kareem is telling us that while we we might see the 49ers in the bills and Super Bowl okay let's see Kyle Shanahan work that Americo and you Jimmy garrotte below you and can't whine. He complained he restructured lowered his salary and in return, what option did Jimmy garrotte below have what option that this man is hurt all the time. He just had surgery on his shoulder. Was he blowing out an Achilles is it a knee is a shoulder like he's always heart you have no choice. I don't know about that one, that that's an interesting story to watch what happens with the Niners this season très Lance versus Jimmy garrotte below, let's let's put them in the octagon and see what happens. 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS Jordan is calling from New Hampshire you on CBS sports radio hey how's it going it's going very well is on your mind Jordan, don't you think Josh Allen is a fraud bill or fraud a lot more straight roles in the 90s one morning won't change anything. Thank you Jordan for: from New Hampshire pick a shop just for clarity sake. What what year we what year we and what year is this you the Jordan is not a part of know what what year are we NPR in 2022. Jordan's year. I don't know where he is okay okay you might have fun with that one on a farm just really present ever heard say Josh Allen fraud the same sentence. Molly said he said he is a fraud and he's like bully. This is 2020. Is this the same 1991. Is it Josh Allen was not born 1991's not 1992 right – I was not born there either. Okay were in 2022. Yes we got okay 855-2124.

CBS's 855-2124 CBS let's go to Pittsburgh's talk to Joe your CBS sports radio technical note important words. The upcoming Super Bowl the upcoming Super Bowl for this year you making me think about it man. When a hell is it she's 00 Madison Vegas bills won their first game of the year in Los Angeles.

The only thing that could stop them is by losing their last game of the year and Los Angeles conflict targets in the playoffs. There are too many teams are going to stop the bills.

The Chargers could do it in a shootout game.

Kansas City ravens like the playoffs very much going to go about the running game about me last year but you know by now, let me let me answer you a smooth second will will first of all, the Super Bowl in two years will be in Vegas. You gotta wait one more year. The one that Is Upcoming Will Take Pl. in Phoenix and if you if you're thinking about the running game here of the Buffalo Bills. Please take it from someone who is right here in Georgia right down the road from the Bulldogs. They've actually added to their running game didn't have the best of starts because I'm on his only carry.

He fumbled the ball but James Cook is going to bring another dimension to this team as the season continues to roll law and so I know there's an obvious concern.

Looking at the past few years and going all my God Josh Allen is out there on my God who's going to help him run the ball. They've they've address that is a going to bear as much fruit as they hoped it would it still be seen, but it's not something that that's to be ignored. I would be overly concerned about that right now okay and you experienced, but the overall favorite only wings at THE time when they make the Super Bowl employee groups not even there yet, but that's still pretty good seats more than pretty good you is a reason you you got the dogs out the unit to go ahead and do it. I'd rather have the best team with the best players with the highest expectations in the go out there were a bunch of bombs you can get crushed under the expectations or you can rise to the occasion sure this a favorite favorite doesn't always win. Well, would you rather be the underdog which you try to sneak up on folks that make you feel better.

I rather be the bully are the go out there just what every body's ass and go about my day and if you beat me then, dammit. Good for you you. You deserve it. The Buffalo Bills, they very well might be the bullies for this season. Sure you got the expectations of the world on top you. You don't think there's a sour taste in their mouth. From this past season that back-and-forth playoff Lawson and coin tosses and over times and in seconds left on the clock. 13 of them. You don't think you think there's a sour taste. I think Von Miller went out the Buffalo if you want to be worried about anything that you quote from Pittsburgh and they've they've addressed the issues like the past several years through through the draft over and over again is like the Buffalo Bills looking for pass rush of the Buffalo Bills looking for someone who can help you decide to gain men. These games are decided by the quarterback in a God who can bring him down into the dirt. We saw Von Miller take Mr. Burrell into the dirt in the Super Bowl and pretty much help put a stamp on that we are already seeing it tonight to welcome Swati Scott get all the money you got the ball down the field or you going to get paid to take him down.

Steve is home from I am your CBS sports radio hello yes Steve you live go on ahead to go. It's going terrific. Steve go ahead are out there watching the game and are not in understand why you know so success will get around a personal now mind you, that your question one is the best corner coming back to Dave. He is is unlikely to return for about a month sees RPU PSO to be about a month. That very goes back to the dolphin got a lot of Spielman noted that you have no might be the only one that could you know. Two ways from low playoff. Well, I don't think the Buffalo Bills are overly concerned. That's it. That's again that's two weeks away and if you if you happen to be the Miami Dolphins or your dolphins fan not not thinking about the Buffalo Bills. I'm thinking about whether or not my quarterback and be consistent throughout the course of the year and if I happen to be the Buffalo Bills. I think Bonnell dolphins let the dolphins come to improve something. If, on the dolphins I'm saying to myself, wow, is to look going to consistently be able to get the ball to waddle in hell. And if you can do that if he can stay healthy than bowel means, let's see what we can do but I worry about stealing two wins from the Buffalo Bills or from the bills. I think about the dolphins right now, think about a championship. Think about staying healthy, running through every body and seeing what we can do in a playoffs.

It's a beautiful thing when you can route 14 and save man. Yep, unless we have some type of catastrophic injury. We can really compete for Super Bowl.

How many teams in the NFL.

How many teams with full confidence can say that going and I'm not talking about all my God I'm in the locker room.

I believe that we can do this and all year. We can we can do it. How many teams really really say we have a real chance.

Only a handful of bills.

They probably got more confidence than anybody, especially after tonight's the JR sport. We show here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS on the take more of your calls. On the other side and then something that we already know after Matthew Stafford was driven into the ground four sacks seven times looking to hear from him. On the other side. He told us what we all know so yeah we suck tonight. I wonder how his arm is feeling I'm to get your calls. On the other side you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio.

I appreciate you. I'm grateful for your brand port. You are the best and appreciate you keeping it entertained informed your hard-hitting and beautiful style: now with 855-2124 CBS, one of the 31 send the Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams open up the season. Matthew Stafford tonight started off his day telling everyone that his elbow is okay a matter fact you we know he had surgery on his elbow in the off-season they been babysitting it throughout the entire year just to get to this point and this is what Matthew Stafford had to say earlier in the day about his arm. Take a listen. The limitations you know still think you play can always be better if you let him 21 again will keep trying, but not feel like a really good make every throw on a senior from yet. Well, unfortunately, that was earlier in the day on Thursday. He he made every throw he through 41 passes see connected with 29 of them sucks for him. He made every throw three of them went to the wrong team. Three interceptions tonight. He was sacked seven times and not man the they need to work on that offense of a hot and it's going to be a work in progress because of he's getting smacked around like this for the entire season in he angle last. It's really that simple. And so after the game. Matthew Stafford.

He talked about it. He was very clear on his play in the team's performance. In general, listen, we can play a lot better now.

I know that you know and and it was disappointing as tonight is you never want to start the season. When I weighed really doesn't have his first name, last name, whatever it is normal then a couple cycles. I didn't play well enough to do it now. Well, sucks, and they're not this bad is plated scene that's right you go out there and when their own damn championship 855-2124 CBS Paul swollen from Boston your CBS sports radio what's up all tell you what's up the first-ever live maternal football field control violent conditioning second to politics and tonight I have the power point sport coat will pontificate tonight which record JR the last time Super Bowl team came out and got be bad. Washington beat Dallas by 19 point the other smacked down the Buffalo put on them tonight. Dominant control vault defense credits Yvonne Miller class act of the interview. The end again mentioned the secondary did such a good job tying up receivers they had a lucky seven sacked employee Stafford and then of course he thought he would get slick control that no look pass which cost him second exception read tonight. I was shocked to find out last year that were tied to Jacksonville coach who most elusive of all. And when Dallas got beat by Washington.

They went on to an aching back. When she also let's not put too much into this, but the way Buffalo was able to control both sides of the ball prevents a suitable chance from getting any real momentum going. It was really impressive displayable we call dominant control of the beating on both sides of the field and you got to figure out the Stafford he would not quit and you tackle that they go peaceful and put his body on the line. I hope the longevity clerk is gone running that much this year because there is no long-term investment quarterback learning getting one a pleasant and enjoyable supervisor kicked out the NFL season is much better than I expected Buffalo I had to come to Boucheron tonight. They really look so much better than we expected, thank you for also calling from Boston notified say that I thought the game was going to be closer but Buffalo beaten up on Imola what Buffalo did by putting up 31. I'm not shocked or surprised. I just thought that the Los Angeles Rams that they would put up more points and I had an opportunity to date only.

We saw some of the turnovers, the offense of line porous, not able to get in any type of a group, they should be fortunate that they were not blown out more farmer going to say I'm disappointed is in the fact that we didn't see a close again. It would've been nice Davis call from Alabama your CBS sports radio agreement JR Carmack I'm good what's up a what did I say what happened the first regarding NFL quarterback was going to get pale posted Matthew Stafford that way. Not only that you not only got me how mean that you are out and there is not only that I can wait order Buffalo Bills play the New England Patriots because I want Bill will the holy ungodly people torture on patriot because if they complete the land pick up hatred just like that I'm just looking for to what you gonna have to wait until December so just be patient okay will be patient – not a problem.

I just want the builder had their way, when every part okay you Buffalo Bills like the underdog, you think the Buffalo Bills of the you think that the underdog because the thing about flight underdog and before you know they got out they got up bright and know that you will never fully they will carry out the three headed dog look. It's it's an interesting situation and thank you Dave call from Alabama. On one hand you can look at the Buffalo Bills and say what it is, favorites people called me up all last night when I gave my top six list and I say I think the bills have the best chance of winning the Super Bowl people agreed and I think anybody who watches or pays attention to the game you you know why you saw some of the reasons why tonight is pretty much you got a star on offense. You got a star on defense and the team is riddled with plenty of excellent and great players is Josh Allen and Vonda Lou. They just brought it so there are high expectations for the Buffalo Bills.

So it's difficult for me to look at them and go oh man well there and underdog. What they do have, unfortunately, is like a get over that hump point, the Buffalo Bills are here right now and it's just like are you going to do it and if the Buffalo Bills do not go to the AFC championship game. If the Buffalo Bills do not go to the Super Bowl. The name might be running up against that wall where you go okay when our y'all actually going to do it because Josh Allen is the man. Francis is called from DC your CBS sports radio.

They are cute. Love your new show. Thank you. What's up Francis, if there are, I agree.

Dr. Allen is all is improving and he clearly has a very hard feeling.

I think you can deftly be then be paid in a room for him to finally bring the bill both lucrative ball and probably the NFL history to hear about JR though on the bill, lack of management on his wrong and I think you are young and need responsibility preached inevitably going to improvise and downplay the unique part of game and it helped him win tonight will you know what that incredible dog and cut down for them to accurately call that many QB option or keep is not that them up for long-term success, irresponsible, and I pray he doesn't get hurt. Thank you so much. Thank you, Francis will call us in DC. You know, sometimes you're damned if you do, you damned if you don't, Josh Allen has openly talked about this, especially this past off-season. This coaches have talked about it you know nobody wants to see the quarterback in the line of fire. So you got two options when that ball is in your hands on the ball is snapped to you. Are you going to stick around behind that line of scrimmage. Are you going to actively go out an attempt to get yards on your own.

You can be a sitting duck behind the line or be you can venture past it and you can try to be more of an aggressor and you're still a target. This is why they tried to bolster and boost the running game, so he is in out there going out there and taken hits at the same time Josh Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the game when it's time to improvise when it's time to get those yards he's going to have more leeway to do what he wants. He's not in the second tier of quarterback. He's not in the third tier of quarterbacks the coaches the coaching you can say don't do that. The coaches the coat she can discourage you from doing that when you go out there and you're picking up the yards and you help them pick up the W's stuff. The rain anybody in understand what you're saying. This is his game. The best they can do is qualify for somebody else to run the general sport we show your CBSSports radium at Sycamore your calls.

On the other side.

Yes, don't worry. The Rams will be okay
