NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round Weekend: (5) Rams at (2) Bears

[ajcardfan]

I think he got his bell rung earlier, but they let him keep playing.

It seemed like he never even saw the ball. He just kept loping along even when Curl made a burst to break on the pass.

Ya he is concussed.

rams and seahawks in the nfc championship - had to beat the 49ers to get there - who wouldn't want to come here?

 

[Proteus]

Caleb Williams makes great plays but needs to work on his consistency.

Why didn't the independent neurologist spot it?

His coach needs to take the fg’s once in a while. This game should never have gotten to overtime.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Of course the NFC championship is between two teams in our division.

Meanwhile...Monti...

I am bummed, but future seems bright

 

[SoonerLou]

Dj Moore probably just cost the Bears the game he just quit on that route

That was such a bad route/lack of effort in a gotta have it moment. They showed a better angle after the game it was egregious.

Maybe he was still having head issues. However, thats probably Loveland on that route if he were healthy.

 

[SoonerLou]

Last thing I wanted to see.

An NFC West championship game. Smh.

Why didn't the independent neurologist spot it?

Not sure, but they mentioned he was in the tent for about 8 minutes, but came out and got back in the game. You could see him come to the sideline after 2 or 3 plays and take a knee. Totally seemed off to me.

 

[Mulli]

Ok so Caleb takes a blow to the head and no call.

The DeVante Adams gets a glancing hand to the face and the throw the flag on 3rd and long. Boo!

But Rams D on short yardage held just enough.

Also, holy moly, does anyone remember Caleb and the Bears vs the Cardinals last year.

What a difference a year makes

Ben needs to incorporate him more in their running game. They were so bad in short yardage situations when the threat of a mobile QB should make it easier.

Caleb still needs to make a leap in accuracy. Its very hard to keep winning those close games. Rome seems to have some MHJ like disappearing acts/lack of toughness. DJ Moore looks to be physically slowing down.

Imperative Caleb gets more accurate/maybe add another vet WR or they'll be next years Commanders.

 

[Mulli]

I agree but Caleb is significantly more accurate and doesn’t shotgun everything.

There were times in that game he outplayed Stafford. Just not enough

Yeah he makes the long 3s but misses layups

 

[SoonerLou]

Ben Johnson how do you not call a timeout?

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

As I was watching the Rams go uptempo Im wondering why isnt Ben Johnson calling a timeout? Save your defense.

 

[SoonerLou]

The only reason he makes the miracle throw is because he missed a wide open Burden earlier.

Its a problem. Maybe Ben kept running on 3rd/4th and short because he didnt trust Caleb's short passing game.

 

[Mulli]

Stafford was missing as many layups tonight

 

[Mulli]

If Davante Adams was down so was the guy for Buffalo

Sure but to be fair, Burden had a huge drop earlier in the drive(or maybe the drive before). Caleb is not a finished product but he has so much talent

 

[Mulli]

Colston Loveland was hurt didn’t help

 

[Russ Smith]

Stafford was missing as many layups tonight

I think they said it was quite windy so probably a factor.
