Cutler has been playing well in recent weeks, Foles has been playing poorly since week one. Given that and the fact that the Bears have a good defense would normally be enough for me to say with confidence that the Bears will win this game. Add in that the dome will be full of Bears fans and it is even more incentive to pick the Chicago. However, the Bears are coming off of a short week and had to travel to and from San Diego in that time. Also, Quinn is returning and Havenstein will be back at RT and Reynolds will be a guard and Donnal will not be playing. Those facts at least offer a glimmer of hope.

Sometimes I wonder if Keenum could do any worse than Foles. I guess it’s certainly possible. For the most part Foles hasn’t been a turnover machine this year. Maybe Keenum comes in a starts turning it over. Hard to know with Keenum’s small sample size of NFL starts.

Anyway, I’m not calling for Keenum to start. I’d like to see Foles be given the chance to work through this and at least put together a couple of average performances. I’d be pleased if Foles had consecutive games with 2 td passes while competing 60% of his passes. I don’t know if Keenum is capable of doing that in this offense right now. At times I just find it mind numbing to watch this offense. Foles really is playing some back up quality football right now, at least that’s what I think.

That jersey looks like it would be a good high visibility top for a highway worker.

A LB might be a need as well.

My response is that it makes me happy when the Rams win. To see the defense playing so well sparks joy in my heart. To see Gurley dominating makes me feel smart for fist pumping and exclaiming “yes!” when the Rams drafted him on April 30, 2015. The Rams WRs might not get open that often, but from what I can see from the network cameras they are blocking well downfield.

Yay Rams.

I like when teams keep an area of strength a strength. So going DE early would be fine with me.

That finger probably didn’t help Kendricks on a couple of those dropped balls. Just say’n.

Holy crap, this seems too crazy to be true!

Maybe this will inspire some billionaires, or corporations to care about the planet. I’m not holding my breath, however.

BTW, I nominate nittany’s Hulk post for post of the year.

I listened to the Rams broadcast of the Arizona game. On a couple of Chris Johnson’s long runs D’marco Farr called out Fairly for not maintaining his gap. When I rewatched the game it wasn’t quite as obvious to me, but I didn’t have time to slow things down and watch plays over-and-over.

Makes sense. They could do worse.

On Gurley’s 52 yard run Cook was the H-back. He actually made a decent block on his man who was backside pursuit. Then he stood and watched, but Gurley was way down field by that point. After cursing them for the last 3 weeks I’m warming up to those stretch the field running plays.

So incredibly excited. That was a different offense in the second half! Did not expect that kind of change. Hugs for everybody.

The Cardinals just seem so solid on both sides of the ball right now. If the Rams can keep it close I’ll be encouraged.
