Why were they playing so soft in the secondary?\u00a0 They played zone way too much in the 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0 The Bears WR is not that good.<\/li>\n<li>The Bears ran for 243 yards on the ground. They ran 45 times and dominated the time of possession and the total number of offensive plays.\u00a0 Fields had 82 yards, Montgomery had 62 as did Herbert.\u00a0 They had no answer for Fields who dominated short yardage and kept drives alive by escaping the pocket and making 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0 He had 70 yards rushing in the first half.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots had 4 Giveaways. No NFL team goes -3 in the giveaway\/takeaway and wins.\u00a0 The Bears had 5 fumbles and the Patriots didn\u2019t recover one of them.\u00a0 Fields has problems fumbling all season.\u00a0 This week he had 4 but none of them hurt the Bears.<\/li>\n<li>Bad play call by Patricia on end around Jakobi Meyers. Zappe got charged with the turnover, but it was clearly Meyers missing the handoff.\u00a0 He whiffed at grasping it.<\/li>\n<li>Not sure when Kyle Dugger was hurt, but not having him in the lineup caused big problems for the defense.<\/li>\n<li>David Andrews getting hit with a blindside hit and a helmet-to-helmet hit by Mike Pennel deserved the penalty, ejection, and ultimate fine and\/or suspension. The former Patriot may have knocked out Andrews for several games.<\/li>\n<li>Isaiah Wynn was designated as inactive and Bill Murray, a call-up from the Practice Squad, and a convert from DL to OL this year were active. What does that say about Wynn?<\/li>\n<li>Zappe did give the team a big jolt when he came in and led them to two TDs. The turnover on the end around gave the Bears a big boost with an FG after a TD and followed up FG to open the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0 That was the ballgame.\u00a0 The Patriots don\u2019t have the capacity to come back from a 10-point deficit.\u00a0 The defense let them down.\u00a0 They gave up 11 3<sup>rd<\/sup> down conversions, and 23 straight points.<\/li>\n<li>Bailey Zappe\u2019s height is a problem. He is slightly over 6\u2019 tall.\u00a0 He had 4 passes knocked down or tipped and 1 of those was intercepted.<\/li>\n<li>Were the Patriots looking past the Bears and thinking about the Jets next week?<\/li>\n<li>Jakobi Meyers made a terrific adjustment to a Zappe pass. He was wide open on a blown coverage by the Bears.\u00a0 Meyers spun around and not only made the catch but had the smarts to get up and stretch for the end zone.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t touched so he wasn\u2019t down and replay showed he clearly got up and stretched for the goal line, before being down.<\/li>\n<li>Jake Bailey\u2019s punting is flat-out awful. He bobbled the 1<sup>st<\/sup> snap and nearly had the punt blocked.\u00a0 His best kick was 47 yards and he averaged only 40 yards a kick with none inside the 20.\u00a0 He is ranked last in the league.\u00a0 His last kick was a line drive that led to a big Dante Pettis return putting the Bears instantly in FG range.<\/li>\n<li>The Field\u2019s sidearm pass, eluding the leaping Deatrich Wise, was the play of the game. The completion to Herbert, who took it 25 yards to the house, really broke the backs of the Patriots.\u00a0 That TD answered Stevenson&#8217;s, which had just put the Patriots up 14-10.<\/li>\n<li>Trent Brown\u2019s 4 penalties were killers. In 1<sup>st<\/sup> series, a holding call wiped out a Chicago off-sides penalty.\u00a0 In the Second series, another holding call wiped out what would have been a call against Chicago. \u00a0\u00a0On 3<sup>rd<\/sup> down, Brown was called for illegal procedure.\u00a0 Both were three and outs.\u00a0 Later he was called for tripping, which I thought was a bad call.\u00a0 The Defender was already going down when his leg naturally whipped around.<\/li>\n<li>Mac Jones&#8217;s interception was on the run and he floated it. That allowed Jaquan Brisker time to come up and pick it off.\u00a0 A really bad play, he knows better than that.<\/li>\n<li>Did we hear Deatrich Wise&#8217;s name called all night? Only when he jumped to block a pass.<\/li>\n<li>Jack Jones was avoiding contact all night.\u00a0 Several times he ran away from tackling a player.<\/li>\n<li>Devin McCourty said they never saw any of the rushing by Justin Fields on the film reviews. The Bears used Lamar Jackson\u2019s plays and gutted the Patriots as did Jackson.<\/li>\n<li>Chicago had three extra days of preparation for the film review. This is part of the -12 days rest the patriots have in their schedule.\u00a0 They lose another day this week for the games in the Meadowlands against the Jets.\u00a0 The -12 days rest is the worst schedule in the league.<\/li>\n<li>Why did Steve Belichick call for only 4 pass rushers and everyone else in zone coverage?\u00a0 This was one of the worst O lines in the league.\u00a0 They had given up 23 sacks.\u00a0 The secondary playing zone when they should have been in man because the Bears&#8217; WRs are just not that good.<\/li>\n<li>Playing Jahlani Tavai and JuWhuan Bentley together makes the Patriots a very slow defense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was an embarrassment.\u00a0 All week the talk was whether or not Mac Jones would start.\u00a0 Was
