Bears Bit by Rams (and Dave Koch)




CHICAGO It’s official (in my mind anyway). Dave Koch (from Wisconsin) has rigged his game against the Chicago Bears. In reality the 1986 Bears went 14-2. The ARAIG version is now 2-7 after a 16-9 loss tothe Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field.

Of course (tongue firmly planted in cheek here), the results of the game had nothing at all to do with the coaching of Jim Sindelar or the fact that the game was played at 2a.m. Poland time.

Still, the facts don’t line up with the results. The Bears topped the Rams (5-4) in the following statistics: Net Offense (373:244), First Downs (23:16), Possession Time (32:14-27:46), Third Down Eff. (4-14 : 2-12), Missed Tackles (1:13). And Walter Payton rushed for 181 yards. Neither team scored an offensive touchdown.

THE difference was a 43-yard fumble recovery return for a TD by Mel Owens at the 9:42 mark of the 2nd quarter. The LB scooped up the ball after Mike Wilcher had stripped the ball from Calvin Thomas.

  1. please, all you players of head to head axtion pc football put yourself at ease. realize this game is really not designed to be played head to head. I feel you are all fooling yourselves into thinking what a grand game this is.,. it would be if you had control, and your team would do as you asked, and results were rewards for correct calls instead of no reward and possibly a touchdown for your opponent.
