I'm very happy to miss that one! :horse: :D
Now you see why I said the Green Bay/Tennessee matchup isn't a good one.
But if Tenn. beats GB, it will be a great game to watch.
:lol:
But seriously.
The only game on TV, with AR seemingly vulnerable this year; I bet just about every Detroit, Minn., and Chicago fan will tune into that game. There is blood in the water.

Something weird is going on in Seattle.

Well obviously the Chargers have some injuries, but so do the Seahawks. Metcalf went out. But the rookie running back Kenneth Walker II, now known as K-9, went for 168 yards, and is matching records that were set by legendary Seahawk Kurt Warner, so thats massive. Seattle is now leading their division, which is lackluster obviously, being just above 500. next week is the Giants. We will find out for sure if the Hawks have got their stuff sorted out.


Meanwhile, in yesterdays game, 3 defensive pass interference calls. Not terribly unusual. But also, 3 offensive pass interference calls. Most I have ever seen in one game. Did a memo go out to the ref staff before the game?

"Where on the bingo card was Bears Blow Out"

Man, that was nice. I'm so still loving Justin Fields. It's been a million years in Chicago where anyone can actually feel good about the QB prospects, and I'm feeling REALLY good about Justin Fields.

So nice. So nice. And I don't expect them to cream Dallas (or win), but I'm also thinking they have a real shot there too. This team is certainly improving game after game.


But back to the Patriots.

36 years ago, I was 16 years old and watched Super Bowl XX (the absolutely coolest Super Bowl number that there ever will be, other than Super Bowl XXX :? ) where in which the Bears with QB Jim McMahon (NFL's Maverick), and the rest of the SuperBowl Shuffle Crew DESTROYED the Patriots 46-10.... in a contest between the Crème de la Crème! Since then... crap - any random chance where the Bears and Patriots played each other started to be dominated the other way around.

And of course, tonight was the night when Bill Belichick was poised to surpass the beloved... no, worshipped... Bear's coach George Halas's "Most wins by NFL coach" record. Very nice (for Chicago) for that not to be passed to Belichick by way of the Bears. (He will of course, pass it)

So Happy tonight for this team.

Fucking finally.

full reveal:

1st Quarter:
10 - 0 : Is this for real? This was to be a blowout. Don't get excited, the Pats will find their rhythm.
2nd Quarter:
20 - 14: Yeah, I've been here a million times: here we go. Oh well - it was fun while it lasted. Congrats Pats. (may sound weird to a non-Bear/Detroit etc fan, and TBH - this was more a sentiment early 2nd quarter, vs late 2nd quarter :: i.e. it wasn't apparent yet that the Pats would never score again.)

2nd Half
33 - 14 : Pats never score again. You're kidding me.

I will say this, Bill Belichick certainly admits when his team blew it, and I'm tempted to respect him from time to time - but I will have a great deal of trouble ever looking at him and the Patriots as anything but actual cheaters.

Congrats, Unagi! Da Bears showed up tonight. Outside of an Eagles win or a Cowboys loss (preferably in the same game), not much makes me happier than seeing The Hoodie and the Pats get pummeled, and bonus points for doing it in prime time on MNF! :D

That game last night was something of a mild disaster for the Patriots season. Going in the Patriots had won two in a row, and while they were against less than solid opponents they were strong wins. Last night was a chance to have a winning record for the first time this season, get into a three game win streak, and put Belichick over Salas in terms of all time wins. ONLY - they got blown out by the freaking Bears at home, and their defense (the strongest part of the team this season) got torched by Justin Fields. And on top of that, Mac Jones returned, but after two three and outs and then an admittedly dumb pick (on which the Bears defender made a great play) was taken out in favor of Zappe.

So a big loss to a team that they were expected to beat, at home, and now they have a legit QB controversy on their hands. What a mess.

What I really don't understand is how they handled Jones. Yeah, he wasn't playing great for the most part (though he did seem to start hitting his stride on the third drive before the threw the pick). But if you don't have enough confidence in him to even let him finish the the first quarter...why are you putting him out there at all?

I’m with you. I have to grudgingly admit respect for Belichek’s genius, but I don’t get what he’s doing with Jones and Zappe right now. I thought Jones was playing ok for his first game back. He was moving well in the pocket and avoiding the rush. He even stepped up and scrambled for some decent gains a couple of times. The pick was more of a great play by the Bears corner. Not a great throw, but not an awful one either.

So why give him the hook so quickly? In the post-game interview, he confirmed it wasn’t a medical decision and that his plan all along was to play both QBs. But you know what they always say . . . If you think you have two starters at QB, you really have none.

Not looking good for the Pats. Sad. [not really: :dance: ]

The announcers did say before Jones was pulled that Belichick had said that he planned to use both QBs during the game. So maybe it was at least partly planned. But man...so bizarre. Just feels like the adults aren't in charge in Foxboro.

Related - was Matt Patricia terrible during his first go round with New England? Everything I read about him these days makes him seem like a pompous windbag idiot, and doesn't make me feel good that he's in a prominent position with the Patriots.

He was the worst thing to happen to the Lions since Matt Millen and literally resulted in setting the organization back 15 years, with Campbell/Holmes being analogous to what Mayhew/Schwartz had to do with organizational cleanup. He was yet another curse New England gifted to Detroit while Dan Quinn handed over so many assets. I'm glad he's not suddenly excellent after setting fire to the organization Quinn doused with gas. It's not even so bad that the Ford's are paying for his salary someplace that isn't here. It's just a bonus that the garbage is going to the place that it belongs.

In related news, the Lions are just as unwatchable as they were after Quinn took over and hired Patricia. I again tried to watch the first two games and couldn't get through them. Holmes and Campbell have seem to have cleaned house but but they haven't managed to put enough success or entertainment on the field.

That was our question. Locally, the fans very quickly came the conclusion he had always been that bad but was given no latitude by Belichick to show it and had Brady's offense to overlook how bad he was at defense. For being defensive minded, he managed to put together the worst defense while actively and purposely chasing the best players away, demanding an irrational sense of loyal discipline concurrent with not planning and playing to the actually strengths of his players and showing them no courtesy of respect. He was a cancer to the field and the locker room and he hit the ground running. Other teams picked apart his game and he never adjusted. He and Quinn were always letting you know they were the smartest guy in the room and they backed it by :confusion-shrug:

I am glad you have hope Unagi, but I’m just not seeing it with Justin Fields. I think he will have some success coming up with the designed runs and rolling out to cut the field in half - but he really seems to struggle with seeing what’s happening and reacting while in the pocket. Eventually that catches up. But for now, after smashing the Pats in NE? I endorse being upbeat at this time for Bears fans.

Watching last night, I found it aggravating how many excuses the announcers (not as much Al Michaels) were making for Brady. At this point, the way he played last night, he’s just a sub-par QB. Overthrows. Underthrows. Missed reads. Just not very good.

Yet, Kirk Herbstreit kept on making excuses, at one point commenting that, "It's not about Brady, it's about what's around him." WTF? Evans. Godwin. Perriman. Lenny. White. Those are good skill position players. It's not their fault Brady keeps under and over throwing them. Ridiculous. And who were the amazing receivers and skill position players surrounding him in New England? He had some great ones now and then, but he also produced amazing results there with some really ho-hum talent, too.

I’m starting to think Brady may go down in history as one of the worst stories re not knowing when to hang it up.

He is old. And distracted. And realizing Gisele isn't joking around. He should have never come back this year.

Sounds like Manning's final season. Well, except that Denver's defense that year was able to pick up the slack and win games for him.

Yeah, as much as I agree that if you want to perfectly time things at the peak a la Seinfeld, I suggest that 1. That is likely VERY hard to do and 2. he may look 5 years out and think "what will I *DO*?! Football is life!"

I've never experienced being so good at and loving something so much that you do for a career, but that cannot be easy.

I've never experienced that either. Or being married to a Brazilian supermodel whose net worth is nearly double mine.

Lots of different ways to look at that as a factor here.

Also like, it's a sharp drop off. In hindsight he should've actually retired after last season, but...he was playing very well. Hard to say that he needed to at that point.

100% this.
Indeed. This may have been inevitable though. By all accounts he lived for football. Hard to get someone like that off the field unless and until they are forced to.
Yeah, as much as I agree that if you want to perfectly time things at the peak a la Seinfeld, I suggest that 1. That is likely VERY hard to do and 2. he may look 5 years out and think "what will I *DO*?! Football is life!"

I've never experienced being so good at and loving something so much that you do for a career, but that cannot be easy.
Also like, it's a sharp drop off. In hindsight he should've actually retired after last season, but...he was playing very well. Hard to say that he needed to at that point.
