The Bears DNA is on Defense,
When all else fails they bring heat.
Quarterbacks come and go with receivers too slow,
But that defense will inflict a defeat.

The truth is that I dont fear the Rams, I fear the Bears.

Don't underestimate the Rams. We're not a great team right now but we're competitive and have been underestimated in each of the first 2 weeks by opposing fans. I heard the same thing from both Redskins and Lions fans.
This isn't the same Ram team from the last 4 to 5 years. Expect a fight. We might not win but I think we'll compete.

I don't think that people are under estimating the Rams and we all agree god things are happening in St. Louis.
But if the Bears play their best they should have a commanding win because at this moment they are more talented.
I think what Rams fans are ignoring is while the offense stunk against the Packers the defense was DOMINANT.
16 points
5 sacks
2 turnovers
If the Bears defense did that too the Packers in Lambeau why do you think the Rams offense fairs better at Soldier?

I never said it would. But the Lions sure didn't have a commanding win against the Rams and they are more talented than the Rams.
In fact, we fooled Stafford into throwing 3 ints. And nearly had 2 more.
Cutler is a bit mistake prone himself. Like I said, I just wouldn't sell yourself on winning an easy one or winning the game handily. The Rams are a tough, gritty team. I'd expect a fight. A winnable fight but still a fight.

I agree with everything that you are saying.
But also remember that the Bears defense is much better than the Lions so if they force Bradford into some turnovers that can change things quickly as well.

They definitely are and can. The Bears secondary definitely worries me a bit. Tillman is always a threat to force a TO with his ability to poke the ball out and Jennings has been picking off passes left and right. With the Bears pass rush, they could very well force mistakes.
Rams defense offers about the same. It'll make for an interesting game. Bradford needs to play smart and get rid of the ball on time and we need a running game if we hope to win this game.

the defense on the rams can get after the quarterback so that's really all I can see being a threat.

Our corners are damn good, but our safeties are pretty bad.

Predictions:
Bears D sacks Bradford 4 times + 2 int's.
Hester returns a punt or kick for a TD.
Bears win by 10.

I can honestly say I'm nervous going into this game. Rams should be 2-0 right now; they've started out very well.
Should be a fun game though.

Cant predict anything on this game, depends on what cutler shows up. But one thing I can say, its gonna be a fun game to watch. Rams have been so exciting to watch first two weeks. Best of luck to you guys, here is to a injury free game.

| At this point, the Bears are the better team; but the Rams have playmakers and heavy hitters on defense. I see Bears fans afraid of Quinn and Long's pass rush and rightly so, but you need to also fear James Laurinatis, Courtland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins. I think if Cutler plays poorly and turns the ball over, the Rams have a serious chance. |

Well this is a step up.
Some Skins fans were convinced they'd get 7 sacks and win by 14+.
