Thanks for showing up defense

[kujay]

Say goodnight. So brutal.

[Wilson A2000]

Rams averaging over 10 yards per rush. Is that a Bears defensive record?

[Sammy Sofa]

Thanks for showing up defense

 

It's like they realized that the Rams had only scored 6 points since that initial flurry and decided to set things right.

[UMFan83]

Whoops nevermind.

 

Rams are going to get a FG, putting the Bears down by 9, and Trestmans 4th down thing will be questioned

 

Of all the things to bitch about w/ Trestman this game, that 4th down is way, way low on the list.

 

The playcalling at the goal line is a bigger issue than going for it on 4th down when your defense blows..

 

right, the fact that Trestman has repeatedly made poor play calls in those situations makes the decision for me. You kick the FG and take the points

 

again ive agreed with every other 4th down decision the Bears made this year until that one

No, you don't take the FG there. You never take the FG there.

 

disagree, again my decision is based on the decisions the bears have made this year and their inability to score from 1 yard out for the last decade or so, but several times this year. I understand the numbers favor going for it, and normally I am pretty aggressive about going for it there.

[Brian]

Give this offensive line and offensive weapons to any of the previous, oh 10 years and that is a Super Bowl team, thanks for waiting till the defensive core was old or gone

[Butterscup1679666578]

i just hope we score so we can see one of robbie gould's vintage onside kick attempts.

[treebird]

if this were madden, this would be the point at which i start calling punt rush on every play just force the other team to throw for touchdowns instead of running

[bukie]

And you still never take the FG there. Disagree all you like, but the FG is the wrong call. It's a coach's "get out of jail free" call, but it's the wrong call in 99.99% of situations.

[gscool89]

Packers pretty much clinch the NFC North with a win today.

[UMFan83]

Panthers win. Won't need to worry about them anymore they are WC 1 at a minimum. If SF somehow wins this week its going to be close to division or bust for the Bears, which isn't looking good if GB wins today.

Not until the rooftops promise not to sue

I guess when goony goes idiot, he has to go full idiot.

i know you are a numbers guy and i know what the numbers say, i still think in that situation you kick a FG. I probably look dumb for being so adamant about it but I am going to have a hard time changing my mind there, as illogical as it may sound to you.

[gscool89]

One more shitty Hester return for good measure

[Brian]

lol

[bukie]

Hester looking to set a new standard for bad kick returns today.

[kujay]

It's like Hester doesn't even care.

[Butterscup1679666578]

i mean, he was obviously down anyways

[cubbyvirus00]

Ok time to blow up the defense

[UMFan83]

And hester takes one out from 9.5 yards deep in the end zone, is tackled at the 9 and almost loses the ball to the Rams. Good stuff.

[bukie]

No, you don't take the FG there. You never take the FG there.

If you kick the FG there, then maybe the Rams don't go for two there. That is the upside you get there.

[BigSlick]

Hester, this is embarrassing enough you don't need to compound it

[bukie]

Ok time to blow up the defense

They're on DT #8, LB #6 and the safeties are awful. It's been blowing up since week 1.

[UMFan83]

Packers about to win. Flynn saved their season
