Rams next game? Chicago! So…setting up the Bears game thread

If LA beats Chicago, and SF beats Seattle, we get to Jaquiski Tartt all over again.

I’m still frazzled after yesterday. I thought they were going to lose there in the middle of the 4th quarter.

I am rooting for the 49ers, despite the injury it is doing to my soul.

Would rather they play the Bears than the Shehawks.

Rap: Matthew Stafford (finger) has X-rays come back negative.

good news but it’s probably really swollen and stiff right now.

21 degrees in Chicago next week..

Fucking packers blew it yesterday… could’ve hosted SF next week…

Bring on Da Bears.

at least one of seattle or sf will knock the other one out.

hopefully rams can beat bears but yeah. they got some kind of weird mojo going on.

Current forecast has both Saturday and Sunday below freezing. I’m assuming that it will also be windy. I remember the last cold weather playoff game the Rams played in Chicago. I hope this one starts and ends better for the Rams.

Well, they are gonna haf to find a way to block Richard Dent.

it’s gonna be cold and windy. hope dotson gets healthy. a dominant rushing offense would be nice to see.

maybe lafleur should call the plays. ha.

Caleb is a physical freak. He can extend plays like no other QB in history. That doesn’t bode well for the Rams secondary.

But I think the Rams offense posses all sorts of problems for the Bears defense too.

Rams can win. Bring em’ on.

Bears lost their fill-in Left Tackle, but they might get their starter back this week.

The Chicago Bears are still buzzing after their win over the Green Bay Packers, but the news they got after the game was decidedly less happy.

The Bears erased a 21-3 deficit and picked up their biggest comeback win in postseason history as they beat the Packers, but they’ll have to advance through the playoffs without a player on each side of the ball.

According to head coach Ben Johnson, linebacker TJ Edwards, who was carted off the field in the second quarter of the game, suffered a fractured fibula, and will miss the remainder of the playoffs.

What’s more, offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo, who was helped off the field in the fourth quarter of the furious comeback effort, suffered an injury to his patellar tendon, and will also be out for the remainder of the postseason, according to Johnson.

Edwards appeared in 10 regular season games for the Bears this season, with 67 combined tackles and 0.5 sacks for Chicago.

Trapilo has been a key reserve lineman for the Bears, filling in at left tackle after the injury to Braxton Jones earlier in the season.

Jones could potentially come back next week for the Bears as they advance in the playoffs, but losing Trapilo will impact the Bears’ depth on the offensive line moving forward.

i’m getting more and more worried. caleb’s arm strength is very very good. elite. can make all sorts of throws. can move around. he’ll be able to avoid the pass rush and just zip throws to receivers. just a bad bad matchup for this defense.

Well, I was a bear-skeptic for most of the season, until i saw what they did to the Eagles defense. Just stomped them. I havent seen any team do that to the Eagles defense.

Ben Johnson looks like a good head-coach. Caleb is still learning, but he’s poised, elusive and clutch.

And they are built for bad weather. Bears are 6-2 at home. Their overall stats are misleading. The Bear defense gives up 17 points a game in Chicago. 30 points on the road.

…the 49ers put up 42 points on them. That was in California, though.
