Clemens was under a lot of pressure in this game. Is the Bears pass rush that good? Or was the Rams Oline napping on pass defense? Or was Clemens taking to long to decide to throw?

I haven't watched the game for the second time yet, so any of you have any input?

I think the bears front 4 is good, it was probably a combination of good DL and some lapses in pass pro.

From what I saw he had quite a few opportunities to step up into a pocket but opted to "bail out" instead and try to escape the pressure with his feet. It seemed to me that KC is not all that comfortable within a pocket.

What I saw is an o-line that read too much of their own hype and came out a little flat against a fired up d line. They never really woke up in the pass protection so the heavy dose of Stacy and Cunningham was the key to victory.
