Ben Johnson

is it me or did Ben Johnson seem miserable the whole game he didn’t even crack a smile even when they tied the game!   I wanted the bears  to win!!  Bummer. Definitely not like Vrabel 

I think he left 9-12 points out there . I like him but stupid! 

@tommyblinds

 Exactly!! 

Did you notice he was wearing a sweatshirt, probably layered many times but regardless, and his hands were bright red. Hes showing support for his team. It was cold as fk and he wanted to be in the same condition as his players, as a leader.

Ben Johnson will win a superbowl for Chicago in the next few years

Dude thinks he’s smarter and better than everyone else. 

Kick the field goals bitch ass! 

Was getting close to FG range. Why risk a deep pass?

@L0adingshow

 Which one? They tied it up and were in position to win the game. Iceman made a bad decision and gave the ball back.

This the back breaker 

@ThirtyThree

There were multiple possessions where they went for it on 4th and turned it over instead of kicking the field goal. 

On top of that on those possessions they stubbornly just tried to run the ball on 3rd and 4th. 

Going for it on 4th is one thing when you can kick a field goal, but running the same vanilla play makes it even worse. 

The defense made the Rams punt 8 times.

The Bears offense lost that game, and you can't say that for any Bears game this year.

9 drops by the receivers 

And why not call a timeout to ice the kicker at the end?

They lost 3 turnovers.  They had the conditions in their favor.  They

@undermysac

 choked!

The last in the receiver ran a bad route. If he turn correctly, that would be a big completion 

his brain doesn’t work on 4th down 

dan campbell texts him the plays

@tommyblinds

 Absolutely.............especially the first FG. Rams drove the leght of the field instead of taking the Kickoff. 3 pts in a game like that, HUGE

Also Kmet only three targets best hands on the team and you have a QB thats arguably one of the fastest in the NFL ( 21 mph ) and they didn't use his legs..............I'm here in Chicago and the Bears and Johnson waited until the last last game of the season to call their worst game and the defense played their asses off.

Gotta play all four qtrs, can't live on the edge 7 times in a season. The TD to Kmet gets caught  1 out 20 times ............maybe.

Just my humble opinoin.

Can't ask for more. Have the ball around midfield in OT. I agree with many here, why the long pass there? 

this. The Dan Campbell school of stupidity. Giving points away in a playoff game is mind blowing. 

If this was a real football game Ben Johnson would have called a timeout before the game winning fg.

Stafford looked like trash the entire game, and the bears were controlling possession with ease, but continually missed on 4th down plays. This will be a talking point when reviewing the game.

still, somehow the rams were th better team, because they are the better team, and they are going to win the Super Bowl.

the 4th down play at the end, Caleb ran backwards about 25 yards and heaved up a Hail Mary, for wwe entertainment and to continue the narrative of the iceman. The ball was in the air for at least 5 seconds. Enough time for every db for the rams to get over, instead, the only db guarding Kmet decided to duck out of the play for no reason. Watch the play again. Dude allowed the ball to drop to kmet instead of continuing to do his job. The entertainment allowed the bears to tie, and the entertainment was always supposed to end with a bear loss. The bears could have continued taking 4 yards a play and kicked a fg to advance but instead Caleb threw a long ball to nobody to turn it over. None of this is real life football. 
the script did not favor Chicago, but allowed a cover 

@ThirtyThree

 Bens Johnson is not winning a Super Bowl!!He thinks he is so smart going for it on every 4th down like his Boss Neanderthal Dan Campbell!!Campbell didnt win neither will this joker!Lucky for the bear they scored on 2 4th downs & they came back last week,but going 4th down all the time catches up to you

It’s clear these new guys who don’t have experience in the playoffs thinks it’s the same game. It’s not. Every possession is amplified because it could be your last. Just mind numblingly stupid that the bears did not win that game.  

@ThirtyThree

Nice take 

I will tell you what I tell everyone. I love football but i hate the nfl, these players bust their asses off every week and the nfl has to decide everything and they get away with it. Remember the bills game with  that interception but the nfl knew if they let stand the bills win the game.

Same thing happened yesterday the rams receiver catches the ball,the defense player is going after the ball strips the ball away and they called down by contact. Go back and watch that play live even Collinsworth said oh my if your a buffalo and then he shut immediately after and acted like nothing happened. 

No doubt the league provides the entertainment but the wise handiccaper has to try to figure out where their going with it and to whom the narrative fits in each particular game which will always be the leagues decision and unfortunately not the players.
