[alpha_omega]

The #1 seed Bears currently, somehow

Shocking.

[Pablo]

The Bears need to win this one so their eventual slide into a 500 team is even more hilarious.

[FAX]

Go Foleseses!

[mr. tegu]

Both teams that aren’t as good as their records indicate. But who is further away from their record? Probably the Bears.

[CarlosCarson27]

Word on the street is Bears 27-24.
But if that's wrong, I'll know what street to move from

[Chargem]

Both teams that aren’t as good as their records indicate. But who is further away from their record? Probably the Bears.

But, the Rams 4 wins are literally all against the garbage NFC East.

[mr. tegu]

But, the Rams 4 wins are literally all against the garbage NFC East.


True, but the Rams at least have a track record of offensive competence, though I don’t think their defense is quite as good.

[BlackOp]

I think this has the potential to be a good game...

[TribalElder]

I think this has the potential to be a good game...

hope so, late game last night was a pleasant surprise

[CarlosCarson27]

hope so, late game last night was a pleasant surprise

Lol at using the proper "pleasant"
For a football game!!

Oh look Agatha, its football. Is the tea ready? This should be pleasant.. ;)

Oh look, they scored, what a pleasant surprise.

Jk

[KCUnited]

Bears have 126 yards on the ground...in their last 3 games combined

[Rain Man]

Remember when the Rams were supposedly a powerhouse with Goff, Gurley, Peters, Talib, and Suh?

[Deberg_1990]

Foles, Goff or death?

[CarlosCarson27]

Bears have 126 yards on the ground...in their last 3 games combined

While true. It's flag football now.
It's proof you don't even need to run to win.
You can throw 3 it's and still win.
I agree, it's weak numbers. But that just don't matter much anymore.
People use to complain that madden wasn't sim enough. It is now! Pro football has become Madden!

[CarlosCarson27]

O/u 52
Is my guess

[TribalElder]

We should have won that monday night game vs the lambs if it wasn't for all the ref sympathy for the fire victims

[pugsnotdrugs19]

We should have won that monday night game vs the lambs if it wasn't for all the ref sympathy for the fire victims

I still remember playing the Faid that next week, Gruden was wearing a hat that said ‘Cal Fire’...

Kept asking myself, “why the hell is this sociopathic son of a bitch supporting these fires?”

;)

[CarlosCarson27]

We should have won that monday night game vs the lambs if it wasn't for all the ref sympathy for the fire victims

Exactly. And California burned even worse the last 2 months.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

These are 2 bad teams with good records

[CarlosCarson27]

These are 2 bad teams with good records

Too early to say anything about how season will play out.
Bad? Of course not.
9 weeks to go

[TribalElder]

you got mossed and come on man are a shell of their former selves

those bits suck now

jacked up was fun but they had to be pussies and discontinue the big hit highlights

[ljmhawk]

We should have won that monday night game vs the lambs if it wasn't for all the ref sympathy for the fire victims

or the turnovers by Mahomes that gave them points.

[Easy 6]

Should be a decent monday nighter, both teams are relatively evenly matched

Swami says it'll be interesting until midway through the 3rd, when a huge turnover totally changes the game in someone's favor

Don't sleep on Big Dick Nick, he's sneaky good... able to ugly it up for 3 quarters, then somehow manage to shine

[CarlosCarson27]

you got mossed and come on man are a shell of their former selves

those bits suck now

jacked up was fun but they had to be pussies and discontinue the big hit highlights

They sucked from the get go. Tv is generally just stupid.
Otherwise Idiocracy wouldn't make sense to us!!!

[Megatron96]

No money on this one, but I would take the Rams. Just have a better overall team.

[BlackOp]

BDN is probably the most streaky QB in the NFL...Fitzmagic is a close 2nd.

They both can look absolutely horrid one moment...then unbeatable the next.

[Megatron96]

Let's see Donald go off.

[Megatron96]

Foles really throws a nice-looking ball.

[Pointer19]

Go The Bears

[displacedinMN]

not a bad game so far

[Megatron96]

Not an auspicious start for either team.

[KCUnited]

Like watching Trubisky in a Rams uniform

[CarlosCarson27]

Not an auspicious start for either team.

Lol

[Chitownchiefsfan]

3rd down and you throw it 5 yrds behind the LOS? Horrible play call.

[Megatron96]

3rd down and you throw it 5 yrds behind the LOS? Horrible play call.

What was worse is that it seemed like they weren't sure exactly how to line that one up either.

[displacedinMN]

harris had to make the catch

yup

[Pointer19]

What was worse is that it seemed like they weren't sure exactly how to line that one up either.

After a timeout, no less.

[wazu]

"Demetrius Harris has gotta make that catch!"

LMAO

[KCUnited]

There’s the D Hair drop we’re familiar with

[RollChiefsRoll]

Incompletrius Harris is still a professional football player?

[Megatron96]

That stadium looks like a spaceship.

[LittleMeatballNick]

Snoozefest

[Pointer19]

These teams look terrible.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Incompletrius Harris is still a professional football player?

I’d take him right now...

[KCUnited]

It’s almost Masters season!

[Easy 6]

Snoozefest

These teams look terrible.

Snoozer so far no doubt, somethings gotta break loose soon tho

[displacedinMN]

no flag???


Rams guy tripped

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Bears have a nice helmet, I’ll give them that.

[Megatron96]

Yep, about what I figured.

Rams are going to slowly grind the Bears into submission. 31-17 or something like that.

[Why Not?]

Not sure I see a path to Bears points in this game.

[displacedinMN]

what the hell was that?

[Sassy Squatch]

The hell was that graphic? Lol.

[displacedinMN]

what a play

[Easy 6]

BIG DICK

[KCUnited]

A game of bootlegs

[Marcellus]

Foles gets away with that shit more than any QB this side of Brett Favre.

[Why Not?]

Pound the ball at Donald. Good strat

[Megatron96]

Hello blonde Rams cheerleader girl, how you doin'?

[displacedinMN]

FU john parry

[crayzkirk]

Bears not good...

Interesting that Geoff gets his head turned and no flag and Brady has a finger touch his face mask and it's 15 yards.

[Easy 6]

LMAO blew that trick shot apart

[Megatron96]

What was the hang time on that punt? 8 seconds?

[Easy 6]

Goff is a decent backup masquerading as a franchise QB

Good money says he is done in LA

[TribalElder]

[Megatron96]

Goff is a decent backup masquerading as a franchise QB

Admittedly I know next to nothing about how NFL contracts actually work, but didn't Goff just sign a a four-year, $134 million extension? I'm thinking he isn't going anywhere for a few years.

[Why Not?]

Jesus. Now we have to sit through a boring spot of the ball challenge. There should be a new rule where only the Chiefs, Steelers, Bucs, Cardinals, Seahawks, Titans or Falcons (just for funny disaster factor) get to play on a Monday night.

[Why Not?]

It’s really hard to get me to root for the Rams but the Bears are so shitty and annoying, they’re doing the trick.

[Easy 6]

Admittedly I know next to nothing about how NFL contracts actually work, but didn't Goff just sign a a four-year, $134 million extension? I'm thinking he isn't going anywhere for a few years.

If they signed him to that, all I can say is... LMAO

There is literally NO special aspect to his game, ultra game manager QB in a can... in spite of that decent play just now, I'd rather have Foles or Tannehill than this guy

[Megatron96]

Yeah, I don't see any part of his game that just leaps out at me either.

But he's basically good at almost everything QB-related. Better than average arm strength. Better than average arm talent. Better than average mobility, pocket awareness, etc. Not great anywhere, but pretty good. No obvious glaring holes in his game.

Sooo, game manager in a can?

:D

[Megatron96]

Sooo, game manager in a can?

:D

Kinda reminds of Alex Smith, but more willing to throw downfield. He has a better arm too. But mostly he's a dink and dunk guy, yeah.

[CarlosCarson27]

Boom
Sack

[notorious]

How in the blue fuck are the Bears 5-1?

Good lord they suck.

[Easy 6]

Nagy has had plenty of time to look better than he often does

Their offense should look sharper, and the defense shouldn't be getting gashed this bad

[CarlosCarson27]

How in the blue **** are the Bears 5-1?

Good lord they suck.

Because parity

[Megatron96]

How in the blue fuck are the Bears 5-1?

Good lord they suck.

Lions, Giants, Falcons, Colts, Bucs, Panthers.

'Nuff said.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

So... Bears finish 8-8/9-7, miss playoffs

Sounds right

[Pablo]

Fucking turd game. Bet we've got a gem on Thursday night too. Prolly more nfc trash.

[htismaqe]

Jared Goof.

Did you know?

Falcons/Panthers. LMAO

[Easy 6]

Jared Goof.

His ceiling and floor is an 82 on Madden

[Megatron96]

Rams RT with the awkward "¡olé!" move. Very effective for getting your QB run over by large angry men.

[MahomesMagic]

I had Mooney as a sleeper WR for KC. Wide open for TDs twice already.

[MMXcalibur]

The Rams are no longer the offensive gunpowder show they were a few years ago.
Stop showing them.

The Bears are always a tough watch...

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Oh no, another ACL to a star player...

[CarlosCarson27]

Sorry buckwheat.
Major markets and long stories franchises.
Just cause the game doesn't look sexy to you., Doesn't make it unpopular or unwatchable.

Rams about to score

[displacedinMN]

mack hurt?

[Rain Man]

That was the longest time without a whistle I've ever seen, and then they penalize a defender for jumping on the pile. That ain't right.

[Megatron96]

Grinding them down.

[Rain Man]

Oh no, another ACL to a star player...

Who got hurt? I'm not paying attention.

[htismaqe]

That was the longest time without a whistle I've ever seen, and then they penalize a defender for jumping on the pile. That ain't right.

Yep, from game to game, the quickness of the whistle is completely inconsistent.

[Rain Man]

Seriously, I think that pile was stopped for five seconds with no whistle. What's up with that?

[crayzkirk]

That was the longest time without a whistle I've ever seen, and then they penalize a defender for jumping on the pile. That ain't right.

Truth... this pushing the pile is a pile of garbage...

[staylor26]

That was the longest time without a whistle I've ever seen, and then they penalize a defender for jumping on the pile. That ain't right.

That was ridiculous. His momentum stopped and he didn’t move for a solid 2 seconds. blow the fucking whistle before somebody gets hurt.

[FloridaMan88]

Chicago is the worst 5-1 team in NFL history.

[Megatron96]

Uh oh, Foles starting to warm up.

[Megatron96]

Oh. Nevermind.

[crayzkirk]

Duh. Bears.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Top 10 Nick Foles

[CarlosCarson27]

INT

[htismaqe]

Nick Foles sucks.

[Jethopper]

Nagy interviewing for our OC vacancy next year

[Red Dawg]

Nick Foles sucks.

He does most weeks. This is one of them.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Nagy interviewing for our OC vacancy next year

No thanks

[htismaqe]

The Bears have given up.

[CarlosCarson27]

Everyone in the west wins, except seattle!!!!!!

[DRM08]

Da Bears getting exposed. Surprised it took this many games.

[Mecca]

Who got hurt? I'm not paying attention.

Eddie Jackson

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Eddie Jackson

Did return though, strange, looked bad originally as a non-contact knee

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This Bears O is eerily reminiscent of the Trubisky days.

Clearly not just a QB issue, all though it’s the main problem.

[chiefzilla1501]

Nagy interviewing for our OC vacancy next year

If he's willing to take an assistant coach job in KC behind Kafka, he can work here.

[notorious]

Chiefs have a bad game: "Every team lays an egg or two during the season".

Bears have a bad game: "Yep, we suck. Can't get excited over a 5-2 start".

Your eyes don't lie, the Bears are a boring dumpster fire that is being curtailed by a mist of fail.

[CarlosCarson27]

W

[KChiefs1]

Bears are a fraud.

[KChiefs1]

Nagy interviewing for our OC vacancy next year


I’d rather have Kafka.

[Titty Meat]

This Bears O is eerily reminiscent of the Trubisky days.

Clearly not just a QB issue, all though it’s the main problem.

It's a talent issue

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I watch games like this to appreciate what we have. Even on the worst days, we are so damn lucky.

Obviously wasn’t always the case, but it’s a sobering watch.

[Titty Meat]

Obviously wasn’t always the case, but it’s a sobering watch.

Yeah its funny looking back on it how we all lost our collective minds over the Fisher pick. He is by far the most underappreciated piece of pure offense.

[dirk digler]

It's a talent issue

And a Nagy issue. Just not impressed with his offense since he has been hc.

[Rain Man]

How does Aaron Donald penetrate on a run play when there's a guard and center on him, and no one touches him? That's amazing.

[cdcox]

Bears offense is not good.

[tk13]

LMAO Donald just blowing through two guys like they aren't there.

[Titty Meat]

And a Nagy issue. Just not impressed with his offense since he has been hc.

Their line is complete garbage with a backup QB. Aside from Robinson and Cohen who's out theres not much on that side of the ball.

[htismaqe]

ROFLROFLROFL

[Kman34]

Cant even get the end zone celebration right..

[cdcox]

Bears should punt on first down from here on out to give their defense more chances to score.

[Rain Man]

Foles magic is happening again.

[CarlosCarson27]

How does Aaron Donald penetrate on a run play when there's a guard and center on him, and no one touches him? That's amazing.

That's entertainment

[cooper barrett]

Nagy looks good for 2020, tonight, he needs a quarterback.

[Kman34]

That is a good punter...

[tk13]

How far did he kick that in the air? About 75-80 yards?

[Delano]

Someone get that punter off the damn field. Jesus.

[dirk digler]

Their line is complete garbage with a backup QB. Aside from Robinson and Cohen who's out theres not much on that side of the ball.

Don’t disagree but he has been the hc for now 3 years and his offense still sucks.

[htismaqe]

Big Dick Nick is now Sucks Dick Nick.

[Gravedigger]

Yeah fuck Nick Foles. Can only score three fucking points. Pathetic.

[mr. tegu]

Foles has a super bowl MVP.

[htismaqe]

Foles has a super bowl MVP.

[Rain Man]

I think this is a new NFL record for both defensive photo posing and punter celebrations.

[tk13]

I think I'm about ready for a "Johnny Hekker or Patrick Mahomes?" thread.

[Deberg_1990]

Big Dick Nick is now Sucks Dick Nick.

How in the hell did he ever win a Super Bowl?

[CarlosCarson27]

I think I'm about ready for a "Johnny Hekker or Patrick Mahomes?" thread.

Hell to the yeah

[CarlosCarson27]

How in the hell did he ever win a Super Bowl?

........I know how.........

[mr. tegu]

Nothing on the betting lines is even in play here. How boring.

[Why Not?]

Over under 8 Bears wins?

[Megatron96]

I still remember when the Chiefs had a great defense and a barely average offense. Saw a lot of games not too different from this one.

[tk13]

Big win for the Rams. Knocking off the current #1 seed in the NFC.

[CarlosCarson27]

And they didn't do it in bone/sand uniforms.

I like the helmet in a child like colorful toy way. But none of the uniforms are cool or manly enough.
Bears uniforms still cool.
But that blue.. it's as dark as blue can get before black.

[CarlosCarson27]

Watch for the possibility absurdity.
It was brought up this afternoon on tv or something.
The entire division could make the playoffs
If Tampa runs away with their division and the north get sloppy..
You already know east bites

[BWillie]

I dont get why they are saying Foles lost the game with the ints. He certainly didn't play well but hes doen multiple scores and its like 3rd and goal. 4th quarter about to start. U gotta make some plays if u wanna win the game. So he throws 2 picks in the last 13 min of the game trying at least to put the bears in it playing uber aggressively. I like that. Derek Carr or Alex Smiff takes the FG. Loses anyway but his qb Rating looks better.

Those picks had almost nothing to do with the outcome of the game. Foles horrible performance over the first three quarters, combined with wanna be Andy Reid’s pathetic play calling/game plan is what lost the Bears this game. The pick to Ramsey is irrelevant. The game was over at that point and it was just garbage time anyway. The pick in the end zone was moronic. Throw that away and live to fight on 4th down (would’ve been a shit play call anyway). At no point during that play was Mooney (who ain’t exactly Megatron) open. The best case realistic scenario on that throw was an incompletion.

Exactly. The Ramsey interception is understandable. The EZ INT is not. That was a rookie mistake by a seasoned veteran.

Foles was awful for 3/4 of the game last night and the whole catchup fire drill at the end was largely his own fault, combined with Nagy's poor play calling.

Nick Foles is not a starter in this league.
