Week 7: We’re on to Chicago

42 mill isnt a flyer.

Yeah I saw that after I thought they would have given him a one year prove it.

Looking further ahead looks like Josh Allen will miss the MNF game in 2 weeks. So it will either be Derek Anderson or Peterman

Given our history vs. back up QB's...I'd have preferred Allen....

It’s not who you play, but when you play them.

No knock on the Pats. The Jags and the Lions caught them at a "good time", so it evens out.

What a dumb take

You forget how good a blocker Edelman is, never mind the effect he has with the defense having to account for him.

He's not merely "good", he's nasty and tenacious. He blocks like he thinks he's the same size as Gronk.

He's relentless and has a streak of Mankins in him too.

That nut puncher was nasty indeed.

@SammyBlueCat is uniquely qualified to make an assessment on this player's abilities.

This is a good observation. Even when he misses blocks he gets some piece of somebody.

Based on what I've seen from Dorsett's blocking this season, I think he may have been taking some lessons from Edelman.

I remember Brady juking Urlacher. Brady breaking ankles, lmao. I let Bears fans have it for that one.

Scanned three Bears fan forums just to get the vibe from the fans. They don't have any posts about the Patriots game yet, just some brief posts about what happens afterward assuming a Bears loss with no further analysis or justification about Sunday's game.

(I don't have links, just followed the first three Google results. And I know fan sentiment doesn't win or lose games).

I think 50% of my excitement for this game is that it's not at night and the usual Sunday afternoon Patriots football ritual can resume, at least for a week.

Urlacher left a little sumpin sumpin on the field afterward.

I did the same. They seem to be depressed about their loss to Miami. In contrast, by mid last week there were already hundred or so pages of thread in the Chiefs forum about our game against them.
