Listed in reverse order, Read from the Bottom Up

Film: #Bears consistently attacked short of the stick on 3rd-10, by play design and by Cutler choice.

#Rams Film: Fairley had by far his best game of the season. Flashed throughout, looked markedly quicker.

#Bears Film: Langford has some natural swivel and plays low to ground with light feet. Gives him elusiveness.

Film: #Bears run game became more productive as game progressed. Had some success attacking perimeter, which loosened things up.

#Bears #Rams Film: Langford 23 yds was sweep to overloaded TE surface. Formation drew single-high defense......McDonald and Joyner (not ready at snap) attacked same gap, giving up the edge.

Film: #Bears an utterly controlled, conservative approach. Nothing vertical to their offense at all in this one. Jeffery less than 100%.

#Rams #Bears Film: Brockers did a good job working off blocks with strength. Ducasse not most challenging opponent.

Film: #Bears play calling often nullified #Rams advantage DL had over OL. Bears have done a good job protecting OL like that all year.

#Rams Film: Donald best initial movement of any NFL DT.

Film: #Bears featured inside zone run game. Ho-hum results, #Rams defended it well. Gase like inside zone.

#Bears Film: Langford 83-yd backfield screen TD perfect play to run vs. #Rams man-free blitz. Both 80+ yd TDs came vs. man-free blitz.

Film: #Rams a lot of split safety coverages. Not worried about #Bears run game. Were they a little spooked after Miller 87-yd TD?

Film:#Bears approach was steady and methodical. WR screens, flats passes, shotgun runs from passing sets.

Film: #Bears continued to feature passes that got ball out of Cutler’s hands quickly. Gase factor. Big reason why Cutler has become sharper.

#Rams #Bears Film: Fairley outstanding 3-play sequence on 2nd drive. Got off Slauson blocks to penetrate twice, great initial lateral move.

#Bears Film: Miller 87 yd TD was basic flat route from condensed 2x2. #Rams man-free. Ayers beat inside in RAC and FS McLeod poor angle.

#Rams Film: LT Robinson tendency to reach rather than move his feet. Does he have quick enough feet to dance?

#Rams Film: not sure Keenum will make a big difference – Foles isn’t leaving throws on the field so much...he just is not executing on the challenged throws. Unlikely Keenum will be much better.

#Rams Film: #Bears regular snaps of “2 man” on 3rd down. Brian Quick 37 yds was vs. this, just beat Callahan (Foles good throw) and had RAC.

#Bears Film: McClellin did sturdy job in run D on plays between the tackles.

#Rams #Bears Film: LT Robinson flagged three times for holding. Couldn’t deal with Willie Young’s redirect quickness.

#Rams Film: Foles doesn’t throw balls on a rope. Tendency to let too much air get under intermediate throws.

#Bears Film: CB’s Porter, Fuller and Callahan all flashed in first half. At times they ran the route for the #Rams WR.

#Rams Film: RG Brown struggled with hand jabs in pass pro. Defenders got off his initial contact a few times.

Film: #Bears a lot of snaps of Cover 6. Good tactic vs. a #Rams offense that features closed and tight formations on weak side.

#Rams Film: Foles arm limitations become very apparent when he throws under duress. He needs perfect conditions to maximize a play.

#Rams Film: Greg Robinson hold on Young to nullify Austin 17-yd TD was at POA but still not necessary, Austin likely had corner anyway.

Film: #Rams run game featured inside zone. Meant double-teams at point of attack.

#Rams Film: Foles two really bad missed throws on opening drive, overthrew both times showing no ability to make throws off balance.

#Rams #Bears Film: Gurley 31-yd catch coverage mistake by McClellin, who ran with TE that Amos had.

Film: Cook 29 yd snapshot of how #Rams must play: fake to Gurley, bootleg w/ dumpoff to shallow drag TE. Misdirection stemming from run game

Langford has some natural swivel and plays low to ground with light feet.

My second favorite RB from this draft. Loved him at MSU. Thought he was very underrated

Had some success attacking perimeter

Washington all over again.

......McDonald and Joyner (not ready at snap) attacked same gap, giving up the edge.

The entire defense didn't look ready at the snap for the first half. Did they expect a laugher?

Bears an utterly controlled, conservative approach. Nothing vertical to their offense at all in this one.

Gase and Fox were not to be fooled again. Revenge from last year and maybe Williams D was a bit predictable and easy to scheme against.

Langford 83-yd backfield screen TD perfect play to run vs. #Rams man-free blitz. Both 80+ yd TDs came vs. man-free blitz.

Again they were outcoached.

: LT Robinson tendency to reach rather than move his feet. Does he have quick enough feet to dance?

Doesn't look like it. Sometimes rawness is not rawness, just inability. Move him to Guard please.

Foles doesn’t throw balls on a rope. Tendency to let too much air get under intermediate throws.

Just one of this flaws. The chance that any team has a perfect pocket in most games is nil. He and Bradford were very similar in that regard. The Rams need a guy that can play under duress. The Oline doesn't seem to have all of the pieces in place yet.
