Game Preview: Bears at Patriots

122 passing yards a game? That can't be real.

Moving up the chart.

Seems a little high for us,

Moving up the chart.

Seems a little high for us, but I do have to say that almost every team, except maybe the Bills and Chiefs, look beatable on any given day.

What’s remarkable is that they actually lead the league in yards per completion. They’re just attempting so few passes and completing such a low percentage of them.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Yes, he was added to our 53 earlier today.

Cool

Rankings and media in general are like us fans, they react to the most recent events. Remember last year all the talk about the Pats being positioned to have the best record in the league after they beat a few mediocre or injured teams? There are too many outlets trying to get attention. Click uber alles rules the day and it is not just sports.

In case it hasn't been mentioned in the previous pages, Richard Seymour will be getting his HOF ring at halftime of the Bears game.

I went to the Pats vs Bears game 2002 in Champagne, Illinois. Its hard to believe that was 20 years ago.

The same Champagne, Ill where Tony Eason got his name. The same Champagne, Ill where Reo Speedwagon began. The game was played at the U of Illinois stadium because Soldier Field was being renovated. The Bears are trying to leave beautiful downtown Chicago and build a brand new stadium approximately 20 miles away. The U of Illinois stadium built in 1923 is a mini replica of Soldier field. **** Butkus played there as well as George "Papa Bear" Halas, Red Grange, Ted Karras.

I found Bears fans to be pleasant, knowledgeable, rabid Bears fans and devoted to all 4 major Pro sports in general.

MNF cannot come fast enough.

Asked Reiss his thought on Tyquan:

Just run him close to the outsides and not over the middle.

Sorry David, MNF used to be special. Now most casual fans don't even watch it unless their team is playing or there is an interesting match up. SNF is the MNF of the 21st century (or at least of the last ten or fifteen years or so.

Asked Reiss his thought on Tyquan:

Ash how do you feel about this week Zapp or Mac?? I'm torn.

 

[Rob0729]

Asked Reiss his thought on Tyquan:

Hey now that you are buddy-buddy with Robert Kraft's fifth son, can you get me tickets for Monday night's game?

Yup, it's either Patriots or I have a fantasy win that's hanging on someone playing Monday night (and with the latter I usually just have it on in the background while doing something else).

 

[BB8XSBW]

Are we just all going to ignore the absolute dime piece on the right in Ashley's Twitter header?

Ashley, is she single?

[ashley]

Ash how do you feel about this week Zapp or Mac?? I'm torn.

Yeah, whoever gives us the best chance to win is who I want to play. At this point, I just don't think we've seen enough of Zappe to make a well-informed decision. Has he looked good, yes, has the offense looked better, yes, it has been only two games, against weak defenses and it's not the same offense we were running with Mac. There is a lot more play action passes, and it's been simplified.

 

[ashley]

Looks like according to the great Reiss, Mac will be back!!!

I was there too. Great time. Awesome venue for a NFL game. Always fun in Chicago/Illinois.

Fun fact: This clip may look slowed down, but this is in actuality N'Keal Harry running as fast as he possibly can.

I thought the clip was sped up
