Turning into a defensive battle. I expected more of a high scoring shootout. 

Good game.

Wind chill of 6 might have something to do with it…

Rams shouldn't let williams roll right.  

[nobody 2,987]

Bad spot in my opinion on that last caleb scramble.  Then the two yard loss makes it fourth down.

Surprised they didn't push tush. Hard to lose yardage with that. If it don't work.... try again on 4th.

That's obviously what the Eagles would've ran. Same for the Bills.

Good lord.  Now buffalo fans are going to spaz out with the db taking the ball out of devante's hands

[nobody 2,987]

Disagree if they actually go for it here.  Take the lead in game where points are at a premium

[nobody 2,987]

I guess it worked out.  I stand by my assessment

Agreed. Don't understand the "go for it at all times" mentality in today's NFL.

Come the 4th quarter when you're losing... ok.  Til then, I don't get it.

Why do defenders just lose their minds?  Dude runs straight backwards and the defender just loses his guy letting him catch the heave?

[Mike FF Today 763]

Whoa. What a catch by Davante Adams!

It's not as easy as you think. I used to play defensive back in high school. One of the hardest positions to play in football. I think, that player on the Rams ended up getting 3 interceptions; so overall he had a great game.

The tightend did a good job of creating space too.  Really excellent play by the receiver.   

I didn't see that part until the very last replay they finally showed

[GobbleDog 1,024]

Hell of a game. Memorable season for the Bears. And good for Stafford ... he's down to his few years anyway - possibly his last. 

Can't help but wonder if Kyren Williams is hurt ... he was crushing it all game, but benched in OT. I'd trust him more with the ball in that critical situation over Corum. Didn't end up mattering but it was strange.

Kam Curl got 1 interception in OT. Cobie Durant got 2 interceptions. I was wrong.

He was taking some brutal hits.  I saw one where the safety blitzed and got him behind the line of scrimmage by the legs and twisted him up pretty good.  I was surprised he got up from that one.

As heartbreaking as the loss was, it was a least a heck of a game.  Even over here in Japan at 8:30am on MLK.  Haha....

the only reason that desperation heave worked is because i had rams -3.5
