Analysis

by Josh McDaniels


Hello Rams fans, I'm here today to write up a great analysis for this week's game. You guys have a lot to look forward to! Here's why:

1. Rams are tied for 5th in the league in interceptions. Jay Cutler likes to throw interceptions (2nd most in the league thus far), therefore I propose the Rams snag at least 2 this week.

2. I have coached both quarterbacks, and between the two I like Bradford more, mostly because between him and Cutler, Bradford seemed to not get so angry when I set him up to get sacked 9,000 times. Oh, and his mechanics, and soforth and stuff.

3. The Bears are without their best weapon, Matt Forte. Or...even if he does play...he won't be 100%. So as long as their defense can keep that passing game contained and not turn decent running backs into superstars (like this defense did when Flajole was coaching it, haha, punk! Take my parking space will you...) they should be able to rattle this offense much like the Packers did last week. Plus the offensive tackles have been turnstiles, and Robert Quinn is a machine, therefore there will be tons of sacks.

4. I played this matchup on Madden in rookie mode. I won with the Rams 68-3. I have a good feeling about this one, especially if they use my playbook like I did.


5. My bros at the frat house totally played this game where we got girls drunk and had them collapse on bean bag chairs. One said "Rams" and the other said "Bears." More girls passed out on the Rams bag. So there you have it. The opposition's woes, the home team's pros, Madden, and girls that can't handle their booze are all the signs pointing to "Rams win" this week.


Predictions

by Craig Dahl


Rams: 31
Bears: 14

Yes, that's right folks, the Bears will only score twice, and both will be because I blew my assignment and covered the offensive guard instead of the wide open wide receiver on 3rd and 17.

I'm quite worried about this game though since our O-line is hecka susceptible with Wayne Hunter and Barry Richardson as our starters against Julius Peppers and an elite D. I would expect heavy TE formations to help against the pass rush while we establish the dink and dunk / running game to move the chains.

I'm having such a hard time choosing the winner of this game for the pick'em league.

On one hand, the Bears are likely without perhaps their offensive MVP and Cutler is facing a really strong secondary.

On the other hand, the Rams trot out their below average pair of starting tackles against a strong Bears DLine on the road.


PS: Great job on the GDT as always Ramsfan!

Oh the battle to find out whose offensive line is worse

[Brodie]

Hard to against Finnegan, he won the game because of that penalty he drew and got an inner. JJ vs Alshon, that should be a good match up, he played well against him in college.

I think Fin will get into the head of Marshall causing some breakdowns in his play. This could be interesting.

I hope Wayne Hunter doesn't get Bradford killed. Expect quite a bit of help for him chipping on Peppers.

I read Peppers has some sort of injury, but is expected to play.

This is going to be a close, hard-fought game that is difficult to predict. Either team can win but I will give an edge to the Rams simply because I see our CBs giving Cutler fits as he becomes reckless like always and starts shoving his O-line
On paper, though, blocking Julius Peppers is a concern but then again our O-line wasn't too bad last week and we seem to have a quick-release WCO style that helps Bradford get rid of the ball before his O-line causes him problems.

[bluesfreak74]

Bears fans under estimating this team like crazy, I like it.
