    I wonder if things would have been different if he had just kept Thuney at LG and Benedet at LT. Benedet is a much better run blocker than a pass blocker. Caleb evades sacks at an elite level, maybe we should have kept things the way they were?

    Granted I'm several beers in and I think the defense played better than expected but Stafford was so off most of the night. Not sure how much of it was the cold affecting him. Crazy that they turned in a decent defensive performance without a single turnover.

    What was it 2nd and 8? It probably needed to be a pass. Probably didnt need to be 25 yards downfield. But that's where the Bears have lived all year so it is what it is I guess. If it's an accurate pass and DJ doesn't slow up on it, the Bears are celebrating right now.

    This is one of those losses where I went in thinking that the season could definitely end tonight and was at peace with it (though obviously not conceding the game) but because of how it ended with being 15 yards away from potentially winning it, it sucked me in and kicked me in the gut. That said I'm not as devastated as I would think I would be. My 10 year old though is experiencing his first true sports heartbreak which makes me very sad for him.

    Also it’s not even the first or second time DJ has loafed on a route. I mean yes blame DJ but 15 yards away from FG range I’m not sure I love the decision to throw 25 yards downfield. But that’s raw emotion talking
  6. UMFan83
    horsefeathers Caleb. Absolutely essential to us getting there. Terrible decision at the worst time. I realize DJ had a lot to do with it but damn future is bright tho

    I’m not mad if we lose I’m mad how we lost if we lose. Ugh

    Can’t believe short yardage play calling and execution may be our deathblow
  9. UMFan83
    May live to regret this but Stafford looks COLD
  10. UMFan83
    7 INTs in the regular season, 4 In the playoffs so far. That was the first that wasn’t on 4th down though
  11. UMFan83
    wtf Rome. Wasn’t sure hands his thing in the draft?
  12. UMFan83
    The ones they failed on were both defensible imo. One was on the first drive when you are trying to set a tone on 4th and 2. The other was on fringe FG range on 4th and 1. Maybe the play calls can be scrutinized but I’m fine with the decisions.
  13. UMFan83
    Didn’t brisker lead the team in sacks last year or the year before? Lol
  14. UMFan83
    Man I always agree with Ben’s 4th down decisions, and this was a no brainer IMO but I really wish we converted a higher percentage
  15. UMFan83
    I get that 100%. I’m still questioning the decision to move Tuney to LT and then completely avoiding the left side. Eventually there is going to be an adjustment by the Rams
  16. UMFan83
    This. A lot going to the right.
  17. UMFan83
    Wow a missed call on a Bears QB? I’m shocked
  18. UMFan83
    Man the AFC is a mess. The fact that either the Patriots, Stidham Broncos or (probably not) Texans will represent them in the Super Bowl is wild.

    Let’s be real, that wasn't a funeral it was a Christian nationalist rally. Whether Shaw personally shares Charlie Kirk’s most extreme views is almost beside the point, you don’t skip work during a pennant race to fly across the country for a 'casual friend.' If Kirk were just some anonymous neighbor Shaw texted occasionally, there’s no way he’s missing games for him. By choosing to be a visible part of that event, Shaw effectively endorsed Kirk’s platform, which includes the normalization of hate toward marginalized groups. You can't separate the player from the politics when the player chooses the politics over the team.
  20. UMFan83
    I beg to differ 😂

    Welp, tomorrow will be the last game on the lakefront this year. Seahawks look scary good but just get to that game and we’ll see what happens.
  22. UMFan83
    He literally skipped a game down the stretch of a playoff race to go to his memorial/rally. Not sure how you are supposed to separate his off the field actions when they directly impact his on the field performance.

    Rams fans all week: Bears fans are ridiculous, the weather isn’t going to be a factor! Matthew Stafford: I’m literally going to wear a scuba suit under my uniform
  24. UMFan83
    Let's get our 6th Soldier Field game in 7 weeks with a 49ers win today and Bears win tomorrow. If that happened and we advanced to the Super Bowl this would be our last 8 games: -Chicago -Chicago -San Francisco -Chicago -Chicago -Chicago -Chicago -San Francisco

    Saw some interesting (but negative) data about the Rams and how they match-up against the Bears: Bears are 31st in TD and most yards per game allowed on 20+ yard passes. Stafford has completed the most 20+ yard passes in the league. He also leads the league on TD and yards on 10+ yard passes. Bears are also 31st on TD allowed and 27th in yards allowed per game on play action passes. The Rams run play action more often than any other team. Stafford has thrown 20 TD and 1 INT on play action passes, by far the best in the league. The Rams are 7th in the league in EPA per rush outside the tackles, the Bears are 29th in EPA in stopping rushes outside the tackles. The Bears are 2nd in the league in 4th quarter TDs and EPA per play in the 4th quarter, and 1st in yards per play in the 4th quarter. The Rams are somehow tied with the Bears in all 3 stats. On the plus side, the Rams really bad on plays when the QB scrambles, and one of the worst teams at allowing yards when they blitz. ---- Of course the Rams have seen a noticeable dip across the board the last several weeks and the conditions may make it hard for them to do what they normally do well. Can absolutely win this game.
