…and speed and ability to find soft spots in middle. Just not good at fighting for the ball and taking any punishment.
PASS, PASS, PASS!!!

I think we match up well with this team. The Rams need to limit mistakes, play disciplined defense. Having Lake up to speed now should solidify the back end a bit. I get the feeling our defense will surprise some and play pretty well.
10 drives;
Chicago-20pts.
4 punts
2- Unsuccessful 4th downs
2-field goals
2-touchdowns
Rams- 41 pts.
2 punts
5 touchdown drives
2- field goals
1-victory formation
Bring on the Seachickens
Hoping to see the defense start looking like they did before Lake went down. When they were doing enough on the back end to complement the rush.
Also want to see offensive dominance. Can't be playing down to this Bears defense.
Lot of my concerns are just how this team has looked in December. Uncharacteristically bad for a McVay team in this critical month. Usually their swoon is midseason, not so late. But as always hoping to see a dominant outing.

To me going “up-tempo” does not necessarily mean pass all the time. Using quick snap counts, and maybe some sugar huddles to me would be considered more “up-tempo.” Now that I can agree with doing, “sometimes”
No way should they pass all the time.
The crazy part of that chart is how unsuccessful the teams that go "no huddle" have been. The Rams are "long huddle." Half the time they snap at <5 secs.
We will lose this game if we come out trying to sling it too much, too often. Bears thrive on turnovers, and they will happen throwing in this weather.
Effective running game will open on play action, and they will kill the Bears with it.

Was I right or was I right.... PASS PASS PASS.... Do the same thing against Seattle.
Ya there was some execution issues but that was to be expected.... I was actually surprised to see Ferguson and Whittington on field... Ferg had some missed blocking assignments and got lost a couple times but did pretty well. Whitt played very well. But when McVay decided to run the clock by running the ball instead of going over the top of the Bears LB's, as all three of them were playing the run, I knew the Bears were getting the ball back. McVay has got to fix that mind set. Adams had the catch of the game... unbelievable.
But the D was awesome (stars of the game), other than that lucky ass BS throw from Caleb... And friggin Lake guarding goal post instead of helping out Durant, because there was no way that Durant can contest against 6-6 TE.... But his two INT's were huge.
The Thicker Kicker once again proved he has iced veins..... Who would have thought.....
None of my 49er pals showed up and understandably why (man did they get their asses kicked), and they didn't even invite me or my wife over to watch the game with them..... But we are all going to Havasu this week together to watch big balloons fly this weekend, so I will do my shit talking then
.
However my Detroit Lions pal (George) and his wife (Julie patriots fan) came down and added Rams support... My pal even wore a Stafford Rams T-shirt... The below pic right after the winning field goal.... we were all pretty drained and wasted.

Everyone was screaming at McVay to get back to what he did on the opening drive must have forgot how he called plays on the opening drive.
10 pass plays
4 run plays
10 pass plays
4 run plays
Thank god for the brief moments of clarity when they put the ball in Kyren's hands to the tune of 2 TD runs

McVay was perfect until the last two minutes and 30 seconds where he thought he could run the clock by running the ball when the Bears had 3 timeouts and and the two minute warning. Never abandon the pass.... and that's what McVay did and the Bears got the ball right back.... Stick to the pass.
Yeah I think he could’ve gotten to the run a little bit more, but we had several 1st and 10 runs in the second half that went for negative or no yardage. They were bringing a million guys into the box. We just struggled in protection and Stafford was off during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. We needed better execution from our offense in those looks, and that would’ve opened up the run game like crazy.
I thought his biggest mistake of the game was calling a running play on 3rd and 10 with 2:07 left. Could’ve ended the game there, and we only killed 7 seconds by running the ball.

I think it was 3rd and 7.
But you could see the Bears D were intent on stopping the run.... One or two passes over the top of the line backers and the game would have been over.... Stafford was starting to warm up with his passes and the protection finally started to fix itself on the Rams previous TD drive..... I just wish McVay would be just a tad more aggressive.

He was talking about the last drive..... He will never publicly call out his players for bad execution.... he does that in private..... I'm sure he will have some words for Lake and Ferg for day dreaming on the field.
The playcall he was clearly most angry with himself about was the 3rd and 1 reverse toss to Corum. I could see his line of thinking when he called it….we *just* ran that end around with Puka and picked up 4th and short. Fake the end around to Puka, reverse toss to Corum and he picks it up easy. Problem is Dennis Allen was expecting the exact same thing.
I was most surprised with our lack of 13 personnel. It’s been 50% of our offense for 2 months and last night it was 9%. Wonder what he saw on film that made him get away from it.

Corum.... uggh.... Sometimes he lacks a bit of vision with his running. He's very effective when he runs between the tackles at full speed, but having vision for waiting things to develop.... not so good.... I thought McVay was smart for using Williams for most of the game.
I was also surprised. First... the weather made it difficult to throw and secondly, the bears D was supposed to be poor against the run. Extra, large blockers might have made a big difference. But then again... what the hell do I know?
