By the end of the season she'd rocking the horns, reciting " Will be rally behind....", and saying " Fuck the Whiners and The Shithawks" by the time week 17 rolls around! ;)

I just go back and forth on the Bears Defense also. I mean they look good, and they have some great players, but who have they really shut down? The only teams they kept under 20 points were:
Jets
Bills
Seahawks
Cardinals
Bucks

Now, I am not saying that their D isn't great, I just can't really tell.

Well the Seahawks put more than 30 on us two times.

I am not saying the Bears D isn't better than ours. Also, remember that was week 2 before the Seahawks figured out how to run the ball.

They are not a bad defense, I just don't think they are the Juggernaut they are being sold as.

The bears looked like crap yesterday...only put up 16 pts of O on the Lions. Maybe Trubisky helps the O if he's back in time but still, even if they slow us down, there's no way their O keeps up.

Final thoughts: Looking at the Bears’ defense in the context of Monday’s Rams-Chiefs thriller
https://sports.yahoo.com/final-thoughts-looking-bears-defense-211220328.html
By Kyle Meinke

A day after the first game in NFL history in which both teams scored 50 or more points, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was asked if he thought Monday night's Los Angeles Rams-Kansas City Chiefs thriller was a watershed moment for the league.

"I thought 1958 Giants and Colts was the big game," Fangio said. "I don't know. I think it's just we live in such a one-week news cycle in the NFL. Let's see what happens next week."

Fangio's quip was a fantastic response - that 1958 Giants-Colts NFL Championship game is regarded as "The Greatest Game Ever Played," and is credited with the sport's massive popularity growth. Sixty years later, a wildly entertaining 54-51 game in front of a primetime national audience may not have been a watershed for the NFL - but it certainly was indicative of the passing-crazed direction in which the sport is going.

"The score isn't what I'd like to see as a connoisseur," Fangio said.

Aaron Donald - Khalil Mack's biggest competition for defensive player of the year honors - still managed to wreck portions of the game. The Rams intercepted Patrick Mahomes three times, including twice on the final two possessions to clinch their three-point win. " data-reactid="20">While the Rams and Chiefs combined for 105 points and 1,001 yards, the outcome of the game was still significantly influenced by defense. Rams defensive end Samson Ebukam had two touchdowns, and Aaron Donald - Khalil Mack's biggest competition for defensive player of the year honors - still managed to wreck portions of the game. The Rams intercepted Patrick Mahomes three times, including twice on the final two possessions to clinch their three-point win.

The point here is this: It's not necessarily that either team played "bad" defense. It's that, to be successful as a defense against one of the NFL's best offenses, you have to generate turnovers, because even the most middling offenses can generate yards and points. The Rams won largely because they generated five turnovers while the Chiefs only had two.

We don't know what the Bears' defense would do if given the chance to play either of these teams, though we'll find out in Week 14 when Los Angeles comes to Soldier Field for a Sunday Night Football date. That'll be a fascinating test for where the NFL stands in 2018: What can the league's best defense in the Bears do against one of its three best offenses in the Rams?

What should give the Bears some optimism is their penchant for creating turnovers - Fangio's group leads the NFL with 27 takeaways, two more than the Cleveland Browns and seven more than the Rams, who rank fourth. No team in the NFL is better at both keeping opponents out of the end zone and creating those critical turnovers.

And how that plays out in a few weeks might actually be more of a watershed game for the NFL than the one we saw Monday night.

Point taken" data-reactid="25">Point taken
Matt Nagy, to say the least, enjoyed Monday night's game a little more than his defensive coordinator did.

"This could be a time where people look back," Nagy said. "… Now, people were excited. When you get teams in the NFL that both have records as good as they are – 9-1 going against each other. One's NFC, one's AFC. It's always going to be a big lead-up. And then you have an unbelievable coach with tons of experience versus an unbelievable coach with not a lot of experience - that's what people like.

"It was great, in my opinion, great for the league. There were still a lot of great defensive plays in there. It's just, shoot, to see those defensive touchdowns, the interceptions, there were fireworks. And I think that's what people like."

Illegal and dirty, or just illegal?" data-reactid="29">Illegal and dirty, or just illegal?

"It wasn't intentional," Nagy said. "Again, it is football. It is an illegal hit. You always want to look at things from both sides and you hope it's not malicious. But when it's a late hit, then it can be challenging for you. But it's, again, there are just so many variables that go into it. Mitch is a tough kid. So we'll just see what happens."

I think anytime a team is 7-3 you should take them seriously. Especially a team like the Bears on a very short week with a backup QB on the road.

This whole "have they really beaten anyone" is an asinine argument for any team. Why is it when a team starts winning this is always brought up? It happened for the Rams last year and it irritated the hell out of me.

Seems like if you aren't the shitbirds, forty-shitter, Patriots, Chiefs, Saints, and to a lesser extent, the Steelers and Ravens, no matter how many games you win or what your final record is, you won't be considered as "good."

No doubt the Bears could pin a loss on the Rams because it's in their environment and it could be very cold that day, which would be favorable to them.

Offensively, they have some weapons but nothing that puts a fear in my mind like the Saints or Chiefs.

Talib will be back by then which significantly bolsters the secondary and I'm thinking the Ram defense will be even better.

I think this is a game that most think will be a good match but the Rams just leave them in the dust and I'll get bragging rights against my fam in Chicago. Looking forward to it!!!
