Cold in Chicago..a different viewpoint

[Jack85Youngblood]

Much is being made in the media about the Rams, McVay's and Stafford's records in cold weather games. I saw a great opinion on another thread. Most of the players on the Bears team have never played a meaningful game after the regular season from mid-January on. With the wind chill predicted in the single digits, the Bears have probably never played in this type of cold either. They were sitting at home in mid-January for the last decade. These Rams showed they can play in the cold and snow. They were the only team to give Philly a game in the playoffs last year, and they could have won. The weather may certainly play a factor, but I really don't see it as an advantage to the Bears.

I'm sure Stafford's record in cold weather has nothing to do with the fact that most of his career he played on horrible Lions teams? I'm sure the cold was the only reason he lost those games!

Reminds me when the media and other teams fans alike was saying what Stafford playoff record was, his first season as a Ram, prior to wildcard game vs the Cards. Which, as we know, meant nothing. 4 straight post season wins including SB.

I've been making the same point. Both teams have to play in the cold weather. Seems to me that the Rams running game and 13 personnel schemes are better suited for the cold weather. It's not like the Bears play all their games in sub-degree weather. Seems to me that where these players played college ball and the condtions they played in college would matter more. The Rams did okay again the Eagles last year, if it wasn't for two OLine gaffs the Rams probably win that game.

I think to be a contrarian we should throw throw and throw get up big early the cold will help us if we can get up big and fast.
