WindyCity Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 I think that this is a measuring stick game for the Bears. I think the problem for the Bears is that they are still learning how to be good. How to execute consistently at a high level and how to be detailed enough to win close games against teams. I do not think they win, but I think they confirm themselves as the 3rd best team in the NFC. Rams 27 Bears 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topwop1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 While the Rams are certainly the better team I think we can beat any team in the NFL when playing at home and I expect the external factors to be advantageous to the Bears on Sunday night. The betting line has moved down to -3 from -4.5 in favor of the Rams which seems a little too easy and is indicating that the smart and early money is on the Bears here.

SLCbear Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Love the Bears on Sunday night esp at home on Sunday night ! Rams/Goff have not faced a D like this .. Mitch will be ready to go and play well Bears win 27-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 FWIW Daniel Jeremiah likes the Bears in this one. Says Bears should use a similar blue print to what the Cowboys did at home against the Saints last week and shut down that high powered offense and will do just enough on offense to get the W.

G08 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yeah. No. I don't trust our run defense to stop Gurley and the play action off that is going to kill us. Trubisky comes back from a 2 week hiatus and we've got Bryan Witzmann going up against Donald and/or Suh? HAH! We're already one dimensional with being unable to run the ball, what's going to happen when everyone and their mother knows Trubisky is going to throw? How many WR screens and quick hitters will it take before one is picked off and taken to the house? Nah... I'm not buying it. Rams - 34 Bears - 17 As always when I predict losses: I hope to God I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the Bears defense can hold up against the Rams with multiple turnovers like they did against the Vikings. 34-17 would require us to get smashed in the turnover battle.

I anticipate it being 24-17 for a while and then in the end the put us away. Hope I'm wrong. Couldn't stop Blount or Barkely, but we're going to stop Gurley? Not buying it.

I know what you’re trying to say but they’ve been one dimensional all year so you picked an odd week to assume “quick hitters will be picked off.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 #Bears coach Matt Nagy on QB Mitch Trubisky: "He looks like he's on pace to start Sunday. He looked good (in practice). He was throwing the ball strong. That's what I was hoping for." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much different task when you're at home and you have the home crowd yelling and screaming so loud that the opposing offense has to work off silent counts and has a greater chance at miscommunication at the line in terms of protections, audibles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenses know we can't run the ball. What you find odd about quick hitters getting picked off when you're trying to off-set the league's MVP (Donald) going against one of the worse OGs in football is beyond me, but I don't care to know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
