    Rams crying about cheapshots...

    The St. Louis Rams' defensive backfield was depleted by injuries in a loss to Buffalo, with the most serious to backup cornerback DeJuan Groce, who hurt his left knee.

    Coach Mike Martz said Groce could miss the next game, at Green Bay on Nov. 29.

    He accused the Bills of taking cheap shots at his players during Buffalo's 37-17 victory.

    Also hurt were starting cornerback Travis Fisher (left knee) and backup cornerback Kevin Garrett (concussion).

    "The way two of them were lost was a little upsetting," Martz said, accusing Bills players of cutting Groce and Fisher at the knees. "Yes, absolutely, they were doing it intentionally. And they were trying to blow someone's knee out. There's no question about it."

    Groce was hurt in the first quarter while blocking after Fisher made an interception. After remaining on the field for a few minutes, Groce limped off slowly with the help of a Rams trainer.

    Fisher was hurt on the following series when he got caught up attempting to tackle Bills receiver Eric Moulds on a 12-yard reverse. Garrett was hurt in the third quarter and did not return.

    Martz was so unhappy with the Bills that, following his postgame press conference, he made sure to point it out while shaking the hand of Buffalo defensive coordinator Jerry Gray.

    "Two corners to the knees from behind," Martz was overheard telling Gray. "You'll see it on the tape."

      Denver has been doing it for years, but I guess St. Louis have never played them. By the way Mr. Marks way to prepare your special teams!

          Dude...they might not be unjustified (they did lose three CB's). If the Bills players are doing that kinda thing on purpose, I'd be ashamed. That's cheating, plain and simple. I've always despised the cheap-shot artists (like the entire Denver organization) for that reason. Low blows are the sign of someone who isn't good enough to play fair. Stop the violins and roll the tape (like you all suggested).

            I, however, really have no idea what I'm talking about because I live in NC and the game wasn't televised here. But I'm just saying, if it is true, then that sucks.

              they replayed a dirty shot that clements took at torry holts knees.. a cb doing a cut block?? it was bad.. real bad.. and martz didnt even mention that one..

              but the announcers sure did..

              sure you do what you need to to win.. but i thought it was dirty as hell.. if you have to play dirty and blatently cheat to win.. your gutless.. which is what nate clements did today.. dont know about the other players that got hurt though.

                There were a couple low hits, but I dont think they were out of the ordinary "cheap shots" When they slow it down it may look like it, but they are going 100 MPH at odd angles. That is part of the game.

                This was a different Bills team. They had a couple 15yd penalties but they set the tone for the game and were very physical.

                  I agree. I don't want my beloved Bills to have a repututation as cheap-shot artists.

                    that was a "block" by a def player on an interception, no? Martz was complaining about the off players. def barely know how to block.

                      I'll say it. The Clemmens "chop block" on Holt was a cheap shot. I didn't see the other 2.

                            Welcome to our world. Won't you come on in.

                              I love all of the Bills fans saying that it was BS. If it were Mularky saying how the Rams took cheap shots, everyone would be saying how dirty the Rams are.
