Film: #Bears consistently attacked short of the stick on 3rd-10, by play design and by Cutler choice.

#Rams Film: Fairley had by far his best game of the season. Flashed throughout, looked markedly quicker.

#Bears Film: Langford has some natural swivel and plays low to ground with light feet. Gives him elusiveness.

Film: #Bears run game became more productive as game progressed. Had some success attacking perimeter, which loosened things up.

#Bears #Rams Film: Langford 23 yds was sweep to overloaded TE surface. Formation drew single-high defense……McDonald and Joyner (not ready at snap) attacked same gap, giving up the edge.

Film: #Bears an utterly controlled, conservative approach. Nothing vertical to their offense at all in this one. Jeffery less than 100%.

#Rams #Bears Film: Brockers did a good job working off blocks with strength. Ducasse not most challenging opponent.

Film: #Bears play calling often nullified #Rams advantage DL had over OL. Bears have done a good job protecting OL like that all year.

#Rams Film: Donald best initial movement of any NFL DT.

Film: #Bears featured inside zone run game. Ho-hum results, #Rams defended it well. Gase like inside zone.

#Bears Film: Langford 83-yd backfield screen TD perfect play to run vs. #Rams man-free blitz. Both 80+ yd TDs came vs. man-free blitz.

Film: #Rams a lot of split safety coverages. Not worried about #Bears run game. Were they a little spooked after Miller 87-yd TD?

Film:#Bears approach was steady and methodical. WR screens, flats passes, shotgun runs from passing sets.

Film: #Bears continued to feature passes that got ball out of Cutler’s hands quickly. Gase factor. Big reason why Cutler has become sharper.

#Rams #Bears Film: Fairley outstanding 3-play sequence on 2nd drive. Got off Slauson blocks to penetrate twice, great initial lateral move.

#Bears Film: Miller 87 yd TD was basic flat route from condensed 2×2. #Rams man-free. Ayers beat inside in RAC and FS McLeod poor angle.

#Rams Film: LT Robinson tendency to reach rather than move his feet. Does he have quick enough feet to dance?

#Rams Film: not sure Keenum will make a big difference – Foles isn’t leaving throws on the field so much…he just is not executing on the challenged throws. Unlikely Keenum will be much better.

#Rams Film: #Bears regular snaps of “2 man” on 3rd down. Brian Quick 37 yds was vs. this, just beat Callahan (Foles good throw) and had RAC.

#Bears Film: McClellin did sturdy job in run D on plays between the tackles.

#Rams #Bears Film: LT Robinson flagged three times for holding. Couldn’t deal with Willie Young’s redirect quickness.

#Rams Film: Foles doesn’t throw balls on a rope. Tendency to let too much air get under intermediate throws.

#Bears Film: CB’s Porter, Fuller and Callahan all flashed in first half. At times they ran the route for the #Rams WR.

#Rams Film: RG Brown struggled with hand jabs in pass pro. Defenders got off his initial contact a few times.

Film: #Bears a lot of snaps of Cover 6. Good tactic vs. a #Rams offense that features closed and tight formations on weak side.

#Rams Film: Foles arm limitations become very apparent when he throws under duress. He needs perfect conditions to maximize a play.

#Rams Film: Greg Robinson hold on Young to nullify Austin 17-yd TD was at POA but still not necessary, Austin likely had corner anyway.

Film: #Rams run game featured inside zone. Meant double-teams at point of attack.

#Rams Film: Foles two really bad missed throws on opening drive, overthrew both times showing no ability to make throws off balance.

#Rams #Bears Film: Gurley 31-yd catch coverage mistake by McClellin, who ran with TE that Amos had.

Film: Cook 29 yd snapshot of how #Rams must play: fake to Gurley, bootleg w/ dumpoff to shallow drag TE. Misdirection stemming from run game
