"All I could think about [last night] was the Bears" - New England Patriots Forums

- so said ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd this morning

He basically compared our Week 12 opponents with Mike Tyson. They can beat up on the little guy at home (SF, Buffalo, Detroit) but when their challenged on the road by a proper opponent they won't win. The Bears are one dimensional, they only have one knockout punch, meanwhile the Pats can beat you eight different ways. Rex Grossman won't defeat you. Tom Brady will. Thomas Jones and Ced Benson won't beat you either. Maroney and Dillon can. And so on.

The Bears' upcoming schedule:

Miami
@ NY Giants
@ NY Jets
@ New England

That's a pretty tough stretch they got coming up. I'd be amazed if they come to Foxboro unbeaten.

Did Seymour really say what you just said? I find that hard to believe.

Edit: I just reread your post and realized that I am an idiot. I guess I just incorporated your username into the message and thought that Seymour was involved.

I do agree with the post about Chicago, though.

I think the Giants will give them a serious run. Our game against the Bears will be like the game last year against Tampa Bay.

I think the little 'destiny bandwagon' of the Bears will get stranded somewhere on the East Coast.

Don't feel badly. I did the same thing

SamBam39 · 10-31-2006, 10:38 AM

yeah, folks, it's not even a question.

that's why denny green was screaming 'they are who we think they are' - because they knew the bears were frauds and could be beaten and they had them beat.

the bears are not coming into our place and beating us - not gonna happen.
pats will win decisively.

Even I would have to criticize Sey if he called out the Bears this early.

My mistake, hope my edit helps clarify things.

*shrugs* the Iggles could only muster a 4-4 record with their cake schedule.

Just like the Fat Man once said-"You are who you are".

I would not bail on the Bears too fast. So they looked awful and won ugly. Does that sound familiar around here? When we do it, it's finding a way to win while you do not have good stuff.

Bears do have an easy schedule -- Packers x2, Lions x2, AFC East (except us), so the Giants game and Pats game are their tests.

They'll lose in Detroit and, hopefully, Foxboro.
