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

    https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/nfl/chicago-bears/bears-injury-updates-include-bad-news-for-tj-edwards-ozzy-trapilo/3874428/#:~:text=According%20to%20head%20coach%20Ben%20Johnson%2C%20linebacker,will%20miss%20the%20remainder%20of%20the%20playoffs.

    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.

    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.

    I think this is where a running-QB is a significant advantage. This kind of weather.

    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.

    Early betting line is Rams favored by 4.5

    Which makes no sense to me — the Bears are home, and are heavily aided by sorcery, enchantment and a West-Coast-Thaumaturgy Offense.

    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.

    Last time they played. 2024. Bears 24 Rams 18. D’Andre Swift had 92 yards rushing and 72 yards receiving. Rams had a fumble and an INT. Bears had zero turnovers.

    Stafford had a 77 QB-rating.
    Caleb had a 106 rating.

    I shall now root for Drake Maye to throw 3 pick-sixes, and to trip in the endzone for a safety.

    Interesting. 3 NFC West teams in the final 4. That aint happened before, I’m pretty sure.

    Rams v Bears
    SF v Seattle

    The Bears are a weird magic team. No-one quite knows how their formula works. They just win.

    Man, all the games have been close. SF leading Philly by 4 with 2 mins left. I thought Philly would blow them out.

    Kyren Williams passed Todd Gurley (261) in career postseason rushing yards and moved to 7th in franchise history.

    I cant find a post-season list, but Kyren is 7th in rushing in general. He past Les Josephson and Tank Younger a while back, and there should have been a parade.

    “Stafford might moon-walk, and fuck-you-in-the-ass, and end your season!”

    I wish Al Michaels or Troy Aikman would talk like that.

    PS: …did Stafford ‘moon walk’ on that play??

    No. 5 Rams at No. 2 Bears (if Bears beat Packers, 49ers beat Eagles)
    No. 5 Rams at No. 1 Seahawks (if Bears beat Packers, Eagles beat 49ers)

    So, i see the Bears beat the Packers.

    Rams now go to Seattle or Chicago. No rematch against the Eagles. Fine by me.

    also. another fourth quarter game winning drive for matthew stafford. that puts him tied for eighth all time in the playoffs with roethlisberger, stabler, marino, and fouts.

    Stafford is just ridiculous. Not in a Tom Brady efficient executioner way, or even a Kurt Warner way — He’s like…death blossom.

    That was #34, Tanner Ingle.

    He’s been on the practice squad virtually all year.

    Bet he never does that again.

    That is, assuming he doesn’t wake up on the streets of Toronto with no ID and nothing but a blanket in his possession and no memory of who he is or where he’s been or what he’s doing there.

    Well that was truly embarrassing.

    From now on, any lame, embarrassing, WTF-block-attempt will be known as — an Ingle block.

    Who do the Los Angeles Rams play next?

    ====================
    The Rams will play either the No. 1 Seattle Seahawks, No. 2 Chicago Bears, No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles or No. 6 San Francisco 49ers in their second playoff game.

    Here’s the NFL playoff scenarios for how they could face each of those teams in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs:

    No. 6 49ers at No. 5 Rams (if Packers beat Bears, 49ers beat Eagles)
    No. 5 Rams at No. 3 Eagles (if Packers beat Bears, Eagles beat 49ers)
    No. 5 Rams at No. 2 Bears (if Bears beat Packers, 49ers beat Eagles)
    No. 5 Rams at No. 1 Seahawks (if Bears beat Packers, Eagles beat 49ers)

    The Rams can’t face the No. 7 Green Bay Packers in the next round because of seeding.

    On the punt-block. Who was the idiot who barely chipped the on-coming punt-blocker?

    I mean, it was about as lame an attempted block as I’ve seen. WTF?

    Defense is just not very good anymore. Chris Shula must have been doing it with smoke and mirrors for a while. 31 against Carolina, 38 against Seattle, 27 against Atlanta, 34 against Detroit, 31 AGAIN against Carolina.

    Ah well.

    If the DLine is as good at pass-rushing as we think they are — then the secondary must be equally as BAD.

    The Experts at CBS give it to Maye by a 6-5 vote.

    If Maye steals the election, i will be storming the Capitol building, in my horns, on the day of the Super Bowl.

    from the writers at least it looks like stafford is the front runner.

    mvp and first team all-pro are the two things missing from his resume. that and multiple superbowls would be lovely….

    and three more seasons as a ram. for me at least.

    I guess they dont announce the MVP until right before the Super Bowl.

    It all depends on which 50 humans get to vote. Ya know.

    Its a very silly award, but I really want Stafford in the hall of fame, and i think an MVP would clinch that. Without it, and with only one Super Bowl, he’s border-line.
