Wait...what?!?

[Chicago Staleys]

I see this game coming down to 3 factors:

1) Turnover margin
2) Arron Donald
3) Bears Dline

2 of the 3 are determined by the momentum of the game.

^ You mean that the Bears need to win 2 of those 3 to (have a chance to) win the game right??


Not a good matchup for the Bears this week. Let's hope Foles can avoid the rush and score at least 17 without the help of a run game yet again.

 

[Montucky]

If you look at the track record of the people picking these games you should be enthused that the Bears aren't the ones they are favoring.

 

[wazzupi]

bears are #1 seed but we are picked to lose

 

[CHIBEAR]

The Rams scored 15 and 17 the last two times we faced and if he writers knew any better they would be calling this a tossup . Although I do find it interesting that nobody has mentioned that Hicks didnt play last year as he was already out injured as well as Trevathan

The Bears have to play perfect on offense to win this game. End of story.

Or get a defensive TD or two, or possibly some turnovers to give them short fields. I think the Rams put up around 20. Question is if we can match that production.

the only one that makes me nervous is Bowen picking the rams.

 

[Les Grossman]

Yeah, I think everyone has the feeling that the Bears bubble is just waiting to collapse... Bears will probably get destroyed in the play action game tonight.

 

[NCChiFan]

The Bear O line is going to have a rough night tonight. Foles better get the ball out a lot. Screen a lot, perhaps move the Shotgun back a few more yards.

Watching the Saint's Carolina game yesterday though, I think next weeks game is very winnable.

Yeah gonna have to be a lot of short quick passes again (Shocker) and hopefully we can keep Kmet involved but should see a lot of Jimmy and ARob once again.

Its not just them, Vegas has us as a 6 point underdog. The only thing I take solace in is that Vegas has been wrong about us all year only favoring us against the Giants.

Its amazing though...we have allowed an average of 19 points a game and Vegas has us still losing by 6?? They are banking on our offense to having a miserable showing.

I mean what does it matter? On paper the Rams look like the better team. The games aren't played on paper.... ?‍

Everyone said the same v the Bucs. It's not "end of story". The OL is going to get rolled, there is no playing perfect behind that OL, yet the defense will keep them in the game.

They may need a defensive touchdown or 2 and they need to definitely get some takeaways....they can’t turn the ball over and must score every chance they get.

This isn’t the Bucs of 3 weeks ago and we can’t constantly keep waiting for our defense to bail us out.....we can’t.
In my opinion, if they bears don’t play perfect on offense they will lose. This means zero turnovers very few penalties

Not sure how you contain him. I agree with most that the ball needs to be out before he can get to Foles.

I have zero confidence that we will be able to run the ball, but they need to do it anyway, to keep the defense honest.

I think our defense can get to Goff and rattle him.

Seems like they might as well let A Donald get a Free run into the backfield and toss or run to the other side. . . then, maybe the oline can handle the other Dlinemen ( minus 1 )
