The Bears are playing with house money at this point so I'm at peace with whatever the outcome. I think the only way I would be upset is if they came out and embarassed themselves (ie losing and looking bad doing it). I don't see this Bears team coming out and leaving without a fight. The Green Bay game was more personal being who it was, what beating them meant to the team, organization, and the fan base on top of the historic signifigance of that game. I never like losing but if we come out and give it our best and come up short I will still feel good about the teams future and will be proud of what they have accomplished this season. This one is a hard one to predict. There are factors coming in that could give us an edge. Stafford's finger, warm weather team playing in frigid conditions, in a hostile environment (crowd will be electric). The Rams are a team that seemed to have peaked 6 weeks ago and have looked beatable since. On their side they have two dynamic WR's that can give our secondary fits, two solid RB's, and when Stafford is on that offense can be lethal. Also, will there be a letdown on the Bears side. Was last weekl this team's Super Bowl? I don't see the Bears letting down, they have taken a very business like approach following the Packer game. I could even see them playing a little more settled and focused out of the gate. Last week being GB could have had the guys too amped. The key will be to have a quicker start. We don't want to dig a hole vs the Rams. Keep the game close and give ourselves a shot to pull it out. We'll have to keep pace. I believe we can.

Wondering, does anyone know where to get the cheese grater foam hats? Years back I ordered one from somewhere and it turned out to be a scam so I'm a little hesitant. I do want one but need to know if there's a legit place to order one from.

The Amazon prime game is the most watched game in history on a streaming service,31.6 mil Isn't prime the only streaming service that has games? Probably sounds better than it actually is.

I really like DJ Moore - especially the past few weeks. He's been balling out for us. I just know that without a pass rush, we are unlikely to be a real threat for the super bowl. i mean this year might we scratch our way there? its not impossible! Im here for it! But i think its a lot more credible going foward, if this team has a defense. And so I dont pick DJ Moore because hes the worst WR we have. FAR from it. He might be the best. But he's the one with the $24.5M payday. And for that reason ONLY I think he's trade bait And would clear up $16.5M in cap space for us. It's nothing more than that. i think hes a fantastic player. The entire argument is only his cap hit, and how badly the other side of the ball needs that money.

I love that meme

We differ in what we think the bears will do. I predict they restructure both contracts and keep them one more year because just as the offense is starting to look great, they won't want to take a step back. Of course I might be wrong but until something happens it's just speculation anyways.

yeah, theyre meatheads. when youre not great youre awful, when youre kinda good, youre amazing. they just over state whatever the common wisdom is, which is usually how many games youve won or lost in the past 5 weeks. Dont believe em when youre down, dont believe em when youre up.

I was at Favres last game, Dec 21 2010. The Dome collapsed and the game was moved to Golpher Stadium. Seats were first come first serve, I was 7 rows up, 15 yd line behind Bears bench. Corey Wooten sacked Favre and he never got up. I was also at Soldier Field Dec 29 2009 when the Bears beat the crap out of Favre as a Viking.

They will start dumping resources that way this offseason, and if they can shed a DJ or Kmet, don't be shocked. Sure having them is great and keeps continuity, but there are a lot of holes on that D that draft picks cant fill.

So much love from national media lately.

now i think about it you could be right

well said. Caleb is a "winner" thats that weird illogical ability to make plays when it matters most. One example i think of is when the guy caught the ball on top of his helmet late in the super bowl, when Eli Manning threw it - thats a winner. Its not logical, and you cant teach it, but when it matters you find a way. Now of course you have to be good regularly too, and the Caleb critics arent wrong. 50% completion isnt gonna cut it. But anyone fairly looking at his season has to conclude that Caleb has gotten much better at playing from the pocket, making throws in rhythm (like the one you mentioned) and you can tell from his body language the game is slowing down for him This is why i say he is special, a winner, elite and still not good. LOL There is no reason to expect that Caleb wont continue to grow in the regular part of his game - it's already night and day from the first 4 weeks of this season. And while he spent this past offseason learning footwork and trying to digest the playbook, next year he will be working on the more subtle things, and I expect a big improvement in doing the regular "good" things. We have a real winner here, and I am so excited for where he will take us. Like you say, we have nothing in Bears history to compare it to, the closest perhaps would be Michael Jordan. He didnt start off perfectly and it took a minute to get past the Pistons. He got his coach with a new fangled triangle offense, and after a time, he was dominant. I think that's what we're in for here. I honestly thought this was possible from his college film. I knew what he still needed to learn, but that stuff is teachable, and being a winner isnt. GO BEARS!

Your post made me think of this for some reason. That pass to Moore to win the game was picture perfect. In rhythm, pump fake and WHAM. But then the more impressive pass on fourth and 8 was vintage Mahomes. Maybe better than Mahomes!?! So we have this gunslinger mentality like Favre but who doesn't throw nearly the number of picks Favre did while also having the Mahomes uncanny stuff too like having the wheels to run for first downs when we need that to keep moving. By the way, did anyone else notice that in that fourth quarter he dove forward for the first down? Like his whole mentality of self-preservation changes when the game is on the line. I'm just so impressed with the kid. And if Green Bay hit that last pass and found a way to beat us in the end, I'd still be saying the same things about Caleb. As a 61 year old Bears fan, I honestly have nothing else to compare this experience to.

OK thanks. I think the game I'm thinking of was his last as a Viking's QB. That was a cold night with the Vikings playing outdoors for some reason.

That was before Urlacher's time, that was 98.

i really don't recall. just watching farve during that freezing game was enough to know his career was done. he just huddled up on the sidlines looking like he didn't want to go back in.

Was that the game Urlacher made him his bitch?

Caleb's two 300-yard games this season occurred in the last 3 games. Caleb had 48 passing attempts against GB, the most under Johnson by 6. The next highest was his other 300-yd game against SF. It may not be purposeful, but it feels like Johnson is putting so many different things on tape that you have no clue what is coming next. The Bears had 6 games with over 150 yards rushing and 6 with over 250 yards passing, with only one game with both (CIN). The Bears are now 8-0 when they rush for 150+, and 4-7 when they don't with the Wild Card game being one of them.

it was an elite offense against our elite defense. the cold never slowed down the niners and it looked like it effected us more than them. i have to say... there was a game in soldier field that exemplifies exactly your point. in the final years of brett favre, he played in chicago on a super cold day with tons of wind. he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but on the field that day. it was the beginning of the end for his tenure in GB. it was beautiful to watch.

Yeah, I keep saying "Caleb is a winner, he is special and elite, and hes not even good yet."

Amen!

5:30 it is, which should make it a bit chilly

Rodgers is bad and so is that Steelers offense. Houston’s defensive front is the real deal. In effect we chose Montez Sweat over Danielle Hunter…bummer.

I'm not sure you can build a great defense and offense at the same time because of the assets to either side of the ball. The great offense usually beats good defenses. Houston will show us in real time with their defense and how far they can go.

So my costs monthly are 35 a month for internet, 10 for ap(120 a year) . That's the cheapest have ever spent on entertainment. You can mirror the TV with it, I have it on my tablet, of which I usually watch everything on. I have did this 2 years so I know it works any where in the world.
