1.5 quarters, 60 yards in penalties, punter is still the MVP. 0 points. Just how you draw it up. :frustrated:

McVay take a page from the Waldron playbook, blocking Sweat with 2 non-linemen. Result: Sack fumble Bears ball deep in Rams territory.

Bears go under center on 1st and 1 from the 1 with a fullback. And hand it off to Roschon for a TD. Imagine that.

Bears 7
Rams 6.

Kramer and RoJo, yes sir Mr. Poles, coming right up, sir!

one two buckle my shoe
There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Defense getting emasculated now. Coverage has terrible

Caleb is holding the ball too long today. Too many penalties

Ok. It's no longer a question: add LT to our list of needs. Braxton Jones has NO ASS whatsoever and can't hack getting run over.

Time to discuss DJ Moore. Didn’t keep running on what should have been a TD. Inexcusable

He has not looked right this year. The outburst earlier this season and now the lack of effort. Not like him at all

Hard to argue with that, although we just drafted another OT.

Swift makes his one electric play per game, good for a FG as rookie QB miscues keep it from being more.

Bears 10
Rams 6

I suspect we see an open competition between him and Kiran in camp next year
2023 Preseason Downside prediction:
5-6 wins, never really healthy all season, a constant shuffling.
We're potentially in a position to draft in the Top 5 again, depending on the Carolina team, and probably have a low-teens (or better) pick ourselves.

The Rams are playing pretty poorly for the Bears to be in the lead. Even without their top two WR's they have an OL about as bad as the Bears, and their D does not have any playmakers. Don't know why it took over a quarter for RoJo to finally get in the game. Anybody have an interior OL of Pryor-Shelton-Davis on their bingo card?

If they can figure out the run blocking a little better then it will open up the passing game. Let's see how they adjust after half.
San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.

The defense has given up a lot of stats, but only 6 points. I'll take that any day.

Best drive of the day, despite 2 horizontals.

Bears 17
Rams 9

Then Rams come right back and score TD, but miss the 2-pointer.

Bears 17
Rams 15

Caleb lines up under center and gives it to Swift for an inside run breakaway for long TD. Game starting to look like a track meet early 4th quarter.

Bears 24
Rams 15.

Bears revert to pre-snap penalties, poor blocking and Williams getting killed by the pass rush.

But MVP Tory Taylor with a 66-yard punt out of bounds inside the 10 to flip the field.

Bears D with a monumental forced 3 and out. Bears ball with 4:14 left and 6 point lead.

It's 3rd and 5. First down wins the game. You know they're going to blitz the house. Time to call your best blitz beater, Shane Waldron.

Bears call a read option that Williams keeps. 3rd time this game they've run that play. Failed. Bears punt it back with 1:13 left. Rams have no timeouts.

And Taylor delivers with another backspin special that ends up inside the 10 again.

And Stafford get smashed and throws a pick to Brisker. Game over.

As much as we shit on Waldron (deservedly), he called a much better game today and stuck to the run. If the offensive line starts to gel this offense will be dangerous.

I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

The Bears have to cut down on the penalties, but that was a nicely balanced game plan.

Looks like we can hold off on the doomsday stuff for another week.
