Robbed by the refs- that DPI on White and Stafford twice not getting clear personal foul calls.

Poor play calling by McVay, especially in the red zone and on the two-point attempt.

A freak gust of wind on Karty’s missed FG.

Overall, very disappointing today.

I’m not gonna post this week.

This was fucking bullshit.

A combination of stupidity and cowardice that I’m embarrassed to have just watched.

Goddamnit.

One of the more disappointing losses I can remember. Really not happy with the offense to say nothing yet again about the officiating.

Here comes the McVay hate on that last drive and here an unpopular opinion by me.. the Rams are down Puka and Kupp, banged up OL (Havenstein got dinged early) and are backed up due to a bomb by Tory Taylor. The Bears KNOW we have to pass the ball and would've absolutely teed off on Stafford who has been getting rocked all 2nd half already..

SO, what do you do? Try to sneak a run or two for a gain and to get into a manageable 3rd to allow a quick pass or at least try and flip the field and allow the D more chance to stop and play the field position game.. OR, do you have Stafford drop back and get rocked on obvious passes and risk him getting hurt while trying to get a W, and lose him for a few weeks or longer? Essentially guaranteeing a lost season.

It sucks, but it was the right decision by me. Live to see another game.

Sean McVay was out coached by Matt Eberflus. EBERFLUS. Let that sink in.

We lost this game in the red zone, inclusive of a bone headed 2 pt conversion. Red zone struggles are understandable without Kupp and Nacua. But the RZ issues go back way beyond their injuries. And the play calls are maddening.

Hard to blame the refs today given how we performed, but 2 or 3 blatant head to head hits on Stafford went uncalled, which would have extended drives at key times.

Tre White is cooked.

This game might well have been the season. I don't suspect we can beat Green Bay. 1-4 going into the bye will be a really, really big ask.

Plain and simple. Pull your heads out of your ass and win next week or it's over.

When we get to the draft, since we FUCKING REFUSE to invest in a stud ILB, we need a Surtain like 1st round corner.

We gonna lose a lot of games exactly like this if we cannot stop the run. Every week, teams have their best running game of the season against us.

You can't turn over the ball-- fumbles and interceptions-- without Cooper Kupp and Puka-- the margin of error is too thin

Play calling, poor run defense and poor red zone execution. Can’t wait to get some players back but it’s a shootout every game if we can’t improve our D

Inexcusable loss. This was must win to avoid going 1-3. You dominate stats yet lose. Pitiful.

The greatest asset we have in life is time and this team, this year, isn't worth mine. What a dumpster fire start to the season. One win team that is all but eliminated from the playoffs - I'll spend my time on other things I enjoy. See y'all next season.

Every season there seems to be at least one game where McVay just absolutely shits the bed on playcalling and leaves everybody scratching their head, with the loss being one where you can squarely pin it on him. Last year it was in Cincinnati ... this year it was in Chicago.

Ugh.

yet another situation that Sean plays it safe and its the wrong decision.

I'd rather go for it on 4th and 2 then go 90 yards in 1:10 with no timeouts.

He did that shit against Detroit last year.

It would have been more enjoyable to watch the female cheerleaders. Why do I feel short-changed with this team so often? So many head scratchers with the Rams. Oh well.
