Defensive stop! Season back on!

Look, I don't know how you do things on your blog, but we don't tolerate that kind of talk around here. [expletive]. Lol

Marshall quit on that ball. Kick the FG.

Gey guys. I have Gronk on my fantasy team! And Forte! And had Emanuel Sanders on Thursday. So I got 102 points from those 3 combined.

By the bears? 7? Allowed

Openly yelling at each other on defense.

Foreward progress was stopped, but Jay is a [expletive] [expletive].

Same thing Revis did.

Fuller out right now.

This is all Trestman. Passing man coverage and he's calling zone routes.

Exactly. Nobody stopped on the play. Nobody heard a whistle stupid [expletive] that penalized the team that made a great play.

[expletive] great play works out for them. Not [expletive] fair.

Houston crashing. Cut back right by his turned shoulders.

Put these big ass dudes outside and let them use their size to shield DBs on a slant. Should be 6 yards every time.

Dont understand why we are running big ass WRs on routes that dont use their advantages in their favor.

what? no Not as good as advertised Not good at all. Wasn't good last year. Told us it was due to a bad shoulder. Not good so far this year. Given up a sack and a half and that was his 3rd hold.

Too easy.

Dj fails again.

Bennett is a horrible [expletive] blocker.

Yeah why was it not?

Jordan Mills inactive. Ola will start @ RT

Not overly concerned about their corners on our WRs. Browner hasn't played a game in almost a year due to injury and suspension. Revis is more shutdown corner on reputation/history than he is currently, though he's still very good. What they do very well as a team though is stop the big play in the pass game. The Pats are #1 vs the pass, but they do allow almost 62% completion but do a good job of keeping things in front of them. That combined with the 24th ranked run D plays right into what the Bears probably want and need to do to win. Establish the run with more than 2 Forte carries in the first half and get the ball out of Cutler's hands in a hurry and to the playmakers. I actually think this may be a tough game on Bennett and Forte in the passing game, because the Pats will give a lot of attention to them and they do have aa very good group of guys that can cover at LB (Collins), safety (McCourty) and Dennard and Ryan can really cover in the nickel/dime. So, if there plays to be made, I think they will come quickly and on the outside to the Bears best receivers. In their losses, teams have been able to successfully throw quickly and short to move the ball and keep Brady off the field. Their 2 losses have come to dink and dunk extraordinaires, Ryan Tannehill and Alex Smith. As for the task of actually beating the Pats, it's going to be extremely difficult with a perfect game on offense and a turnover generating game on defense. Brady is 40-3 at Foxboro since coming back from his lost season in 2009, and they haven't lost an October home game in 9 years, for whatever that is worth. Defensively, I don't know that there is a whole lot the Bears can do to stop Gronk. And even Edelman will probably get his 7-9 catches for 7-9 yards a pop. But the key is to stop everyone else. They've been able to get the other guys to make big plays like LaFell, Vereen out of the backfield, and even Tim Wright the backup TE had a good game recently. Gotta stop the run and force them into 3rd and long, though they will pass on first down and use that as a way to get an easy 5 yards to make 3rd down easier. But it's the same formula the Bears have always had on D. Get pressure on the QB consistently. Get a couple turnovers. Keep the defense on the sideline as much as possible.

It was Browner. Sherman ducked Marshall all day long until B caught that hail Mary over him.

That's what I thought. But that may have been more of a Sweum thing. we were actually really bad at positioning with Sveum http://www.hardballtimes.com/tht-live/expanded-2013-infield-shift-data/ Well damn.

Oh and I love Maddon. Great manager. Easily the league's best IMO. I also have an irrational love for Dave Martinez, as a coach and did as a Cubs player. Plus he has the looks of a mature Geovany Soto. If he comes along, consider me giddy.
