*Official CHI Bears @ LAR Rams MNF Thread*

[Stompin' Tom Connors 4,245]

Surprised a thread isn't up. So....go.

[rockaction 27,878]

Montgomery East-West to start for two. Sounds like his career.

[rockaction 27,878]

Patterson North-South for one. Sounds like the Bears.

[Stompin' Tom Connors 4,245]

I mean, I am used to be sold to every waking moment. And watching TV has become such a overwhelming barrage of consumerism and never ceasing commercials.

But that opening? Did that have anything to do at all with the football game?

I get why they did it given who owns ESPN. But why don't they just digitally replace with all helmets with Mandalorian helmets and the ball as a CGI projection of Baby Yoda and just get it over with.

And then Patterson just rocking back and forth for no reason on 3 and forever. Get up the field!

I think there's going to be a consumer revolution of some sort some day and that synergy will be a lot less appealing to marketers than they think.

But I didn't mind the Baby Yoda opening. (I also have the sound fully down because pre-game hasn't had any information about the game in a long time. It's all about ratings, too, especially at the national level. It tries to sell a narrative rather than presenting us with information about the game. It's sick and disgusting and disheartening, really, but there's not much you or I can do about it.)

[rockaction 27,878]

Henderson looks like the back there. So much speed around the edge.

[Mr. Irrelevant 1,756]

I fully expected this to be the Too Clever By Half Bowl, and so far neither coach has disappointed me.

What in God’s name was that third-down call?

[mbuehner 640]

That is exactly what the Bears defense does to you, you're having a nice smooth drive and all the sudden you're punting.

Can't really argue with you about all that. 

[mbuehner 640]

That is exactly what the Bears offense does to you, you play defense for thirty seconds and then you're returning a punt.

[flapgreen 6,115]

Per usual, the Bears getting screwed by the refs. Whatever 

[mbuehner 640]

Scrine again, sigh.

[flapgreen 6,115]

Rams are too good to have the refs against as well. NFL is such bs

[Mr. Irrelevant 1,756]

Stop trying to make Patterson a thing! STOP IT.

[drizzle 51]

Please God stop giving Patterson touches

[dmac37 416]

Why do they keep running Monty up the gut

[Pip's Invitation 8,825]

That’s not a first down.

Somebody prove me wrong tonight.

Sorry bears fans, I bet the bears moneyline and the under.

[Stat Correction 127]

Rams defense hasn't had a sack or turnover in almost 6 quarters

(edit: the very next play they get a sack. I should try that more often)

Edited October 27, 2020 by Stat Correction

[drizzle 51]

Timeout followed by a sack brilliant

[dkp993 8,083]

Feel like we’re dominating this game yet only up 7. Hate that, almost never turns out good when that happens.  

[dkp993 8,083]

There we go!

[Zigg 1,444]

Should have called to, lost 40 seconds.

Bears offense is offensive as usual. Need a defensive or special teams TD.

I don't get in on Monday Nights until the 1st Quarter is abut finished so much appreciated you fire these up. 

[rockaction 27,878]

Two penalties on the Bears. Refs must be against 'em or something.

Or they may have committed 2 penalties on the same play

[Ministry of Pain 5,956]

Does anyone remember when Cooper Kupp was a BIG part of the offense? He still has solid outings but he was explosive when he came into the league and he seems like he could explode still but they rarely call his number, he does well when they throw to him 3 or 4 times on the same drive and it usually opens up the outside routes for Woods, etc...

[Stat Correction 127]

Did the announcer just say "let 'em off the hook" during a Bears game?

Hat's off to the late Dennis Green

That roughing the passer sucked.  Hicks got held twice by the same player, and then got flagged.  No penalty for the OL guy though.

[Stompin' Tom Connors 4,245]

As much Flanderization as Berman has undergone and become a characterization of himself?
 

Still will never not like the way he always says RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAIDAAAAAAAAAHS! in his recaps.

They rarely call holding these days. Too bad they didn't recover that fumble!

Amazing this team is 5-1.Truly amazing.

99 yard drive? 

[Cowboysfan8 8,156]

I liked football better when defenders that flinched into the neutral zone could get back on their side without it being an automatic penalty

And beat Tampa Bay on one of those Thursday night draw no conclusions from this game whatsoever kind of games.

Yeah they're not a 5-1 team.

On another note I'm shocked that anyone could have taken the over on this.

I’ll make up no call for not calling a face mask on Goff in the first half.  

[Stompin' Tom Connors 4,245]

Punters really don't get enough love for what they do.

A good punter is truly gold, and super interesting to watch in terms of the different spins they put on the ball in different situations.

 

 

[rockaction 27,878]

Montgomery for less than one. He's so unimpressive.

10 years with the Vikes

8 Playoffs in 9 years with 7 different Quarterbacks in those postseasons that started for him, incredible when you think about it. 

[yoman 190]

Only 95 yards short

Hecker has been the best in the game for 4/5 yrs now

[Pip's Invitation 8,825]

Oh Nick, that would have been a 96-yard TD

[rockaction 27,878]

Another good net punt. Game. of. punts.

My son needs a couple more points tonight and I tried to tell him to just release him Sunday morning and grab Williams from Green Bay(softer league) for his Flex "But Dad, he's probably only playing for 1 week"...maybe Monty will bust one for 30 yards.
