What Bears Fans Are Saying

[RamFan503]

FWIW, I do believe this is picks against the spread. Straight up, they are more in our favor. I don't think the Rams not covering 7.5 points is a crazy idea.View attachment 11054

Ah. That would make more sense.

The biggest thing in our favor is they are coming off a Monday night game and are on the road. I like our chances but our offense has to pick thing up

Yeah, this 3 and outs thing starting both halves and all those punts are getting old. We might have to have a pool on which game the Rams will get a first down on the first possession is. Its been a while since we picked up a first down on the first possession. Was it after the turnover to start the game in AZ?

We could start a drinking game. We drink when the Rams make a first down. That way there's no risk of a DWI.

I'd have a lot of warm beer. Holding it waiting for a 3rd down conversion. :effemine:

At this point, just hoping for more 5 wins..and this has to be one of them..

Opponent breakdown: Rams
Eli Kaberon/Bears Web Writer

The Bears (3-5) won a thriller on Monday night. They go right back to the road this week to take on the St. Louis Rams (4-4). Here is a breakdown of Chicago's Week 10 opponent:

What's new: Running back Todd Gurley missed the first two games of the Rams season and only played a little bit in Week 3, as the St. Louis coaching staff wanted to be careful with a player who suffered a devastating knee injury during his college career. Since entering the starting lineup in Week 4, one could argue Gurley has been the best player in the entire NFL at his position.

In the Rams' first four games the rookie was in the lineup, Gurley averaged 22 carries and 141 rushing yards a contest. Entering Week 10, Gurley ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing yards and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry – the most in the league of any player with more than 100 attempts.

What's old: It's odd to call a unit whose leader is 25 "old," but in the case of the St. Louis defensive line, the label fits. Robert Quinn leads that group of Rams, which has a knack for terrorizing quarterbacks. In 2013, Quinn was second in the NFL with 19 sacks. A year ago, he 'only' had 10.5.

This season, he's been bothered by a knee injury – Quinn didn't play in Week 9 – but his efforts still lead a scary Rams attack. As a team, St. Louis has 27 sacks on the year, tied for second-most in the NFL, with Quinn leading the way (5).

Last time out: Trailing by three, Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hit a 53-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 9 game in Minnesota. St. Louis then got the ball to start overtime, but after a three-and-out drive, the Vikings took over possession and never looked back, driving down the field before kicking a field goal of their own to win 21-18. The Rams were held to just 168 passing yards in the game, though the team ran for 160 yards.

Series history: Along with the Cardinals, the Rams have been the Bears' most-common opponent outside of Chicago's three NFC North rivals. The Cardinals faced the Bears for the 92nd time in history back in September, and Sunday's game with the Rams will be their 92nd all-time meeting. Chicago holds a 52-36-3 lead in the series history that dates back to 1937, including wins in four of the last five games between the franchises.

Injury report: Quinn isn't the only key Rams defensive player ailing. Fellow defensive end Chris Long – the older brother of Bears right tackle Kyle Long – has been out since Week 5 because of a sore knee. Both of their statuses for the Week 10 contest are unknown.

Schemes and tendencies: On Monday, the Rams looked to fix to their struggling passing attack by signing veteran wide receiver Wes Welker. St. Louis ranks last in the league in passing yards per game, averaging just 177 yards per contest through the air. One of the team's biggest problems is their inability to go over the middle.

The Rams complete only 57 percent of their short throws over the middle, which also ranks 32nd in the NFL, averaging just six yards per catch on those plays. Welker has made a living going over the middle during his 11-year career. Three times he led the NFL in receptions, and his 890 career catches are seventh-most among active players. Look for Welker to be active between the numbers in the St. Louis offense.

Did you know: Rams head coach Jeff Fisher is one of three active NFL coaches who also played for the Bears (along with Carolina's Ron Rivera and New Orleans's Asshole Face). Fisher was a defensive back for Chicago for four seasons, from 1981-1984. Most of his work came as a punt returner; in '84, he led the NFL with 57 punt returns. Fisher did not play during Chicago's 1985 season that ended in a victory in Super Bowl XX.

He suffered an ankle injury in training camp and was forced to miss the entire year (the injury eventually forced him to retire). Fisher did not waste the season, however. He served as an assistant to defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, which sparked Fisher's coaching career.

Bears begin preparing to face Rams
Larry Mayer/Bears Senior Writer

Two days after their thrilling comeback win over the Chargers, the Bears return to the practice field Wednesday to begin preparing for Sunday's road game against the Rams.

The Bears (3-5) will play away from home for the fourth time in five contests, having won in Kansas City and San Diego and lost in Detroit. They've played five straight games decided by three points or fewer for the first time since 1987.

Like the Bears, the Rams (4-4) have won three of their last five games, defeating the Cardinals (24-22), Browns (24-6) and 49ers (27-6) while losing to the Packers (24-10) and Vikings (21-18 in overtime).

The Bears lead the all-time series with the Rams 52-36-3 and have won five of the last six. However, they lost the last meeting 42-21 on Nov. 24, 2013 at the Edward Jones Dome, giving up touchdowns on the Rams' first three possessions, allowing 258 yards rushing and having three touchdowns nullified by penalties.

Jay Cutler has played only two career games against the Rams, completing 25 of 48 passes for 326 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a 72.0 passer rating.

Entering Week 10, the Bears rank 22nd in offense (16th rushing and 21st passing) and 9th in defense (24th against the run and 5th versus the pass). The Rams rank 31st in offense (4th rushing and 32nd passing) and 5th in defense (13th versus the run and 4th versus the pass).

ChicagoBears.com will provide all the latest news throughout the week from Halas Hall. Coach John Fox will address the media Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and special-teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers will be available Wednesday, while Cutler and offensive coordinator Adam Gase will speak Thursday.

[Killgasm]

I'd have a lot of warm beer. Holding it waiting for a 3rd down conversion. :effemine:

I thought drinking games were with tequila ....?

 

[yrba1]

Home game so no confusion on line calls or silent counts.

Expect a lot of Bears fans in St. Louis.

 

[VegasRam]

Really wish I was as confident as Y'all.
I'm just not.

 

[LACHAMP46]

What position did Sean Peyton play? Anybody? Didn't know an ankle injury ended Fisher's career either....

 

[jap]

The Fisher King didn't boogie with his teammates in the 1985 Super Bowl celebration? Well. damn it!, we gotta get him a ring!, . . . like, real soon! Can we please have Kurt Warner apply the Vulcan Mind Touch to Nick Foles so he [Kurt] can download some serious QB sense to our struggling signal caller!

 

[Penguin.]

I love everyone's confidence, but let's be real.

As bad as the Bears are, and they are horrific indeed, how do you expect to score on these guys? Nick Foles looks like a division three highschool punter trying to fill in as a quarterback out there. He is protected by a chainlinked fence whose wear and tear was so bad it was patched up with wet paper towels, and our coaches expect it to hold. Opponents are man handling our quarterback, and it's terrible. You know how many times this man has thrown off his back foot? Our receivers are 90% drugs, dropped balls, and premature stopped routes with a 10% chance of actually catching the ball. Our offense is literally Gurley and the run blocking at this point, with the occasional reverse to Tavon.

Our defense on the other hand, is fantastic. Chicago won't score more than ten points. No need to expand on this.

Greg the Leg is very hit or miss. Some days he dings 60 like it's nothing, then somehow shanks three field goals in a row all from under 40 yards out.

We are as about consistent as Missouri weather. When I look at the NFL highlights and it looks as if other team's offenses are playing a completely different sport than us, it is very freaking bad. If we didn't have Gurley, we honestly might be the worst team in the NFL just from the lack of offense generated.

That being said, Chicago is so bad I think we win this by fourteen points.

 

[Psycho_X]

What position did Sean Peyton play? Anybody? Didn't know an ankle injury ended Fisher's career either....

He played QB in college but I didn't think he ever played professionally unless they count training camp tryouts. Think he dabbled in either CFL or arena league stuff briefly but has been a coach most of his life after college. So not sure what they were referring to.

you want warner to apply the same touch he applied on Kapernick? No. Thanks

It would be a mistake to underestimate the Bears....not that you are really. If McDonald is out the Rams are missing three main pieces of their D. The Bears have a skilled (if erratic) veteran QB in Cutler. I think we can expect a similar approach vs the Bears the Rams took vs the Browns....lots of completed short passes and bend but don't break D. The Rams have to win the turnover battle and sustain some drives to save their D a possession or two and maybe kick a couple of field goals after burning some time. Their D line vs our O line and vice versa.

 

[Prime Time]

After going through around 15 Bears forums this morning, I've come to the conclusion that the fans are not interested in their upcoming game against the Rams. They're still going on and on about their win over the Chargers. alm:

Kap's mind is defective. Special K was unable to download anything.

 

[RedRam]

There's a couple Bears fans on my hockey team. Last night, all they had to say about the game was, "Please don't kill Jay!" :rolllaugh:

 

[DaveFan'51]

Do these writers even pay attention? I have never seen such disrespect accorded to a good team. SMH/
