I’ll jump in.
Bears 13
Rams 17
We need to keep in mind that the Chargers have a terrible defense, that has been decimated by injuries. To be happy that we won in San Diego, needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The front four of the Rams is considerably better than the Chargers.
If our OL plays like they did against the Bolts, we will get killed. Granted, the Rams aren’t good either. In the past Tavon Austin has KILLED us, so we need to look for the drag routes and WR screens. The Rams also have a couple of good CB’s.

The homer in me wants to say the Bears win. But they Rams defense is insane, and Gurley is going to kick our run defense in the sack.
Rams 24
Bears 23

I think we’re catching the Rams at a bad time here. They’re coming off a bit of a heartbreaker, and they just added Wes Welker. I don’t know how we prepare for any changes Wes will make on this offense. You want to put 8 in the box, but then you’re dealing with Wes and Austin in space in the horizontal passing game. As everyone has noted… their defensive line is scary.
Rookie RBs and bubble screens
Rams 20
Bears 10

Still kind of high from the MNF win but…
That front 4 that St. Louis has might be one of the best in football. I really hope Grasu comes back and we can see what our rag-tag bunch of dudes can accomplish. Gurley is running like a man possessed, I really hope McClellin comes back so, again, we can see what we’ve got with him calling the shots. Christian Jones saw his playing time dip to about 54% last week so he might be fighting a bit of an up-hill battle with the coaching staff.
All-in-all… I think this is going to be a dogfight and I’m so anxious to see how our team does against a physical team that plays beyond the echo of the whistle. Do we fold? Do we maintain composure? Do we ramp it up and kick their ass? It will be a fun litmus test.
Rams – 17
Bears – 14

Interesting tidbit about Jones there.
I think his playing time has decreased because…well…he’s kinda stupid. He can’t make the calls, and he can’t change the defense. He’s just a “see ball, get ball” type of player. Which is why I’d like to see him more in a pass rushing role on the outside opposite McPhee.

This is gonna be about Gurley. Keep 9 guys in the ****ing box at all times. Make Foles make throws.
Aaron Donald please don’t kill Jay.
———
Gurley frothing at the mouth!
———
Will be very tough to contain Gurley…not loving our chances for that reason plus their D-line is a terrible match up for our patchwork O-line..
——–
BCB gonna have a field day if/when Gurley kills us
———
I’m thinking L is the most likely outcome, but who knows … Maybe the Bears have TWTW and pull off another upset!

I think we’ll win this one by about 6-7 points.
———
I think we win this one too. Cutler’s gonna have to bring his A-game again though, the Rams D is no joke.
———
Absolutely. Foles is the reason I think we can win.
———–
I see an L. Rams Defense is for real and our defense will make Foles look like a combination of Arod and Brady.
———-
I think the Bears gave the blueprint for the rest of the season last night, quick short throws, ball possession. That being said, Aaron Donald will be lining up either over a rookie or a third string Center. Cutler will have a few turnovers as well, once he starts feeling the pressure it will be throwing off the back foot time.

If Quinn and Long are out again, I’d say we should be favored. If Quinn is back, it tips to St. Louis’ favor. Even still, I think the run game will be out the window; between Donald, Brockers, and Fairley I think we will get eaten up inside. Our best bet for consistent production is going to be Alshon and Bennett in the 7-12 yard range.
———
Quinn made Bushrod his ***** last time out. Man, that was pure domination.
Donald is going to go crazy in this game.
——–
bahaha I remember that game…I think Bushrod had like a -11 rating for that game on PFF.
———
Rivers is one the best QBs in the league this year and we held him down. Before you say he didn’t have any weapons. The Rams don’t either
——–
I’m going to the game…. should be fun even though its in STL. I’m expecting a 50/50 split on rams/bears fans
