FOX Sports’ Mark Schlereth’s Biggest Takeaways from Rams-Bears OT Thriller | The Rich Eisen Show

42 comments

1. The bears are bums.

2. I was screaming also. I called my dad who is a broncos fan screaming at him. Yelling "why won't they run the dam ball" then they went on that end of regulation drive and ran the ball 7 times to get a TD. At half time they had 30 pass attempts to 11 runs. WTF.

3. For me, Mark Schlereth and Rob Ninkovich are two guys who have great stories, interesting takes but don’t get the credit they deserve as analysts.

4. Almost everytime a team kicks 4 field goals inside the redzone they lose.

5. You’re saying what every Rams has been saying for the past 2 seasons. Just run the damn ball!!!

6. Why is he such a Rams hater?

7. Rams will win. . The rams are hungry to right a wrong. That. Crazy 2 point convertion. Rams not scared of seattle at all. Go rams

8. Love you Rich. Bear Down!!

9. Mark is correct about taking the FG. The over agressiveness of these coaches has gotten reckless, imo. There is no shame in taking FGs, especially in a playoff game where points are at a premium!

10. Anaylists haven't made football better ever

11. McVay has been saying he's going to run the ball for 9 years. Will it change on Sunday? (Rhetorical question).

12. Every rams fan was thinking the same thing about running the ball. They were dominating on the ground when Kyren was given the ball. The bears were 28th in run defense and he just continues to leave it to Stafford in that weather? Doesn’t take a football savant to understand when something is working you stick with it. The play calling has to be 60-40 pass run ratio this weekend. Mix it up and keep the defense on their toes. They can do both but he picks and chooses at the wrong times or completely abandons the run for no reason. There’s no play-action without the run game and for that he handicapped that offense last Sunday.

13. This guy is full of it.

14. "Bypass field goal territory" 😂😂

15. I think Sean does call a lot of runs and Matthew audibles out of them

    They will figure it out

16. Bears coach blew it 100%

17. Rams have lots of offensive weapons….use them ALL. go to ur strengths buy do what the enemy is not expecting

18. Williams performance, finishing with a QBRating around 59.3 (ESPN) 2td's…3 Int's…for the bears yhea go ahead and check the box

19. the point i dont get about the analytics is yes they netted 1 extra point going for 4th down instead of a fg – but youll never know the impact it has to take the lead early on a team vs giving them momentum – it changes the play calling, it changes the outcome

20. Fully agree with Mark on 1) McVay Run The Damn Ball and 2) Take the 3pts especially in contexts when weather is a factor and / or points are hard to come by!

21. I would have pulled my hair out but nothing left after McVay never-ending psss happiness..

    My god. Run the f'ing ball when pass not working.

    Build tempo, keep defense guessing

22. Numbers have never made a tackle but 7 is still more than 6

23. not enough focus on terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad (or corrupt) officiating… especially in light of multiple angles instant replay…

24. whats missing from the math is the probabilities of converting on 4th vs kicking a field goal. Theres a greater than 85% chance of hitting the field goals while theres a less than 40% chance of converting the 4th downs. You also need to factor in the weather conditions in the math

25. Take the damn points!

26. The Team will head North as The Rams but will return to LA as the Lambs.

27. The whole rams fanbase was screaming run the ball

28. Take the 3, Ben "Lions 2.0" Johnson

29. Hats off too REFS Ed/crew called the game in Chi Town like his POPS would. Let them play! Yeah sure Kmet pushed off for crazy Touchdown pass, Kobe got a Lil face when Caleb got his finger hurt. Please let this Crew do SEATTLE, GO RAMS!!!!

30. Totally right on the field goals, at the very least it doesn’t hurt them mentally.

31. The Rams back end on defense made Caleb look good that throw was decent, but our defense made it awesome remember, Caleb threw three interceptions still super young. Hopefully you will understand the game better as years go by.

32. Boring takes

33. "Math has never made a tackle. It's never blocked anybody." ❤

34. McVay could be visited by the ghosts of Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, and Bill Walsh telling him to start running the ball and he still won’t do it.

35. Exactly, McVay simply refuses to run the ball…….

36. run the ball, take the 3 points…play smart football

37. Yup I scream at the tv about the Rams… just run the ball!!!

38. Keep in mind that Ben probably thought the Rams would score a lot against Bears defense. The defense did much better than expected and Ben calmed down a little.

39. Bears suck. Better at what? More INT’s in the playoffs? He throws up a couple prayers and now he’s Joe Montana. Please.

40. Ram's have Sam Darnold's number. They sacked him 9 times in the playoffs last year then picked him off 6 times this season.

41. As long as we hold them under 24 pts we will win 💯💙💛

42. The biggest takeaway. The Bears lost.
