The Official Patriots vs Bear Game Thread

Orton to Watkins for 84 yards to Jets 5. Stupid Watkins slowed down to celebrate and got tackled. Dope.

At least he didn't injure himself mis-celebrating... or imagine if he spiked the ball.

I think they're both worse than they were 5 years ago, but it's just not a big deal yet. manning is playing with the best cast he's ever played with, and Brady is playing with a diminished offense compared to his peak years but the defense is much better and the OL finally appears to be fairly solidified.

I agree no one gets better from 33-38. The rules also help these guys too.

Our LB's still struggling getting off blocks.

Chicago spreading the field by throwing screens out of split zone. Taking advantage of Easley's inability to chase. Wonder why they took forever to figure that one out.

Such a soft penalty. I stopped watching the NBA because of how involved the officials have become.

This is not the NFL I became a fan of...

Chicago answered fast

Bears score off the back of horrible officiating, story of the season.

Collins on Forte is a bit of a mismatch there.

 

[DefenseRules]

Why was Collins covering Forte?

 

[Brady6]

That's a tough matchup for Jamie Collins.

 

[Foxypats]

damn...Forte !

 

[Joey007]

d%#*!@t fell apart there. Well the Bears had to put something up at some point.

 

[SVN]

too easy... they talked about forte all week and they let him beat them..

 

[pwes]

Just a bad penalty ruined that defensive series

 

[TBR]

IM SICK OF LOOKING FOR FLAGS AFTER EVER PLAY

THIS LEAGUE IS PATHETIC

 

[Mack Herron]

Collins not up to task

 

[fightingirish595]

Collins took a bad angle and paid for it

 

[Midship]

The game of football is RUINED

What a joke!!!!

Calls like that will drive me away from the game if teams aren't allowed to play defense

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Okay they scored. Now we mad bro.

 

[BradyFTW!]

BTW, although the score doesn't reflect it, the Panthers are smoking the Seahawks. The Seahawks are the team everyone think they are this year.

Lots of people on this very forum predicted it, though I didn't think it would happen until next year. When you start having to pay all these All Pros coming off rookie contracts, that vaunted depth can vanish in a hurry.

Their D's biggest asset last year was insane D-line depth that let them keep everyone fresh by rotating them nonstop. That's gone now (last year they pressured the QB on the highest percentage of dropbacks, worst in the league this year), and the rest of the D is being somewhat exposed without it.
