Game Thread: Week 14, Los Angeles Rams @ Chicago Bears, Sunday 12/09/18, 5:20 PM PST

This will be a tough game, I would really like to see the Rams blow them out but I know better. Weather will be very cold and that could slow the Offense down for both teams. I look for a slug fest were the Rams come out on top with a big defensive or ST play.

So keep the smelling salts close by.

It should be below freezing at game time, but not too bad (27-28 degrees) unless there is also wind.

Yeah, looks like mid-to-upper 20's in temps. Rather mild for this time of the year in Chicago. Nothing major, but certainly not what LA is used to either.

While I think McVay is a young genius. It's rather commonplace for a HC to know all 11 starters on any defensive unit he's about to face. It's just rare that he would go that deep into it on the podium.

Well when your last HC couldn't name players he was about to go against, this is a huge step up!

Not a refugee, I've read the forums for years and just finally made an account a few months back.

Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy this train ride thats on track to end in Atlanta!!!!!

If Nagy gets cute and lets Trubs throw 40-50 times in this game I think we smoke em.............Rams gonna bring it. Agree with Mike: I originally saw this as a trap but last week ended up being an "Almost" trap.

I hope they do throw 40-50 times, that means they are behind and will be a Sackfest for Donald and company!!!

I don't think Fisher knew the names of some of his own players!!!!

Somewhere... Jeff Fisher still believes that Danny Woodhead plays for the Patriots.

That's because Fisher is a Woodhead!!!!

99% of the time that's true but Nagy has lost 3 games this year cuz he'd rather get cute and throw rather than pound it out.

We throw a lot, regardless.

This is true. I would say the Miami and GB game. We were beaten in the NE and NYG games straight up. We didn't lose that because of any offensive approach. We lost the NE game by giving up two SPT's touchdowns and the Giants actually straight up beat us... as disgusting as that sounds. The offense didn't get going under Chase until 1 minute left, down 10.

The Miami loss was a sin in 15 different ways... bleck... we seasoned that game, cooked it medium rare, put on waiter aprons and walked it over to them on a trey. No need to elaborate further.

Right on..............just seemed like they turned it over a few times last week that led to scores. I'm a die hard Ram fan and I honestly think we are a better team (not by much though) but IMO if tBears are gonna beat us they have to pound it out and from what I've seen so far this year Nagy will be stubborn and throw, throw and then throw some more. Either way, Good Luck this Sunday Night............hope it's a good one!

Oh, no doubt. You guys are a year ahead of us right now. I just hope we can find a way here at home. It'll take a really great performance from the D and winning the turnover battle. I am thrilled that we get Trubisky back, but I do have concerns over rustiness early on.

Nagy is a great young football mind, but he does have a tendency to fall in love with himself and get way too cute as well. I hope this is something that fades with experience.

Good luck to you all as well. Let's hope we both emerge without any key injuries as well

Peters amazingly somehow was ok after rolling his ankle. The Rams must have a great work out and strength training crew because if I had done what Peters did I'd be on IR for two years.
But it looks like we will be at full strength in pass coverage.
And thats a good thing with the Bears #1 QB back.

I thought Peters was playing on bad ankle all year, you mean he was just plain bad??

Are you saying Nagy is Mike Martz? the only difference is Bears don't have the weapons Martz had?? they have a good running game, not sure why they don't use it more? Still not sold on Trub, Bears defense has won quite a few games for them!

 

[SJ76]

I don’t feel good about this game at all.

I’m a little paranoid though. If our D brings it, we can win. Goff can’t turn it over tho and needs to take the 6-7 yards his TE will give him.


Bears are not great on the road. Much better at home.

He will play better with Talib on the field. I hope.
