(+) Yeah! (+)

I never thought I'd say this but

"The Bears are letting the Patriots hang around".

Game already over early in the 4th...

Bears win.

0 people picked the Bears.

What just happened

I picked this game in Ladder and that's all that matters

Bears might cover the over by themselves.

Words you haven't had to say about a Bears team in like four years now. No clue what the hell happened today, but I'll take it.

this is almost more surprising than Carolina/Tampa

The Patriots destroyed Chubb and look like a JV team against Montgomery.

This could go over 250 rush yards for the Bears

Despite being NFC, this loss could be dangerous to New England, as this is a team everyone in the AFC East plays, and the Jets have already beaten Green Bay, who beat New England.

They both beat Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but the Pats lost to the fins once and the Jets beat them. The common games tiebreaker supersedes conference record in divisional games. Right now the Jets are 4-1 to NE's 2-3. All they have to do is go 1-2 against the Lions, Bears, and Vikings to gain even more ground, since the Pats are already 1-3 in that division, and the Jets are 1-0. To gain a game back, the Pats would have to beat the Bengals.

NE is in a lot of trouble if they lose to the Jets next week and drop to 3-5 and the Fins take care of business the next couple of weeks, which will also give them a dominating tiebreaker situation.

Tests indicate Neal has a grade 2 MCL sprain and may be out for 3-4 weeks instead of all season. Big news for the Giants if that holds because their bye is coming up and then they host Houston.

Bredeson also with a similar injury and considered week to week. The Giants Oline avoided catastrophic damage.

In bad news, Bellinger had some crazy thing happen to his eye and needed immediate surgery, and there's no idea when, or even if, he will return.

Inject this post into my veins

The NFC East has more teams with winning records than the rest of the NFC combined

The NFC is a mess of 3-4 teams.

And the Rams just sitting there at 3-3 hoping not to join them.

On a side note, given the way the Giants are winning, I feel like the 2 point conversion at the end of week 1 to cap the comeback against the Titans might end up being the defining play of the Giants' entire season. The more I see, the more I feel like it completely set the tone for this team.

and that's the difference between the Giants being 6-1 and the Titans being 5-1

Incentive to win or to lose?

What an odd report.

Please don't post Florio "reports".

Also speaking of the Giants, their current plan is to "hoard draft picks and sign minimum contract FAs" because they know the team isn't just a player or two away from a Super Bowl.

The Giants are smart again!

It's shocking to discover that Gettleman was incompetent at running a team

I feel like we knew this in year 1!

we knew that before the Giants hired him

Rodgers benching himself. End of an Era.

That's the exact thing I said when I read that too. The guy throws the ball into the dirt and blames the receiver. He overthrows a back in the flat by 8 feet and it's their fault for not jumping high enough. Never his fault. At this point I'd love to see them bench his ass, we're going to lose anyway so why not ride Love.

All you need is Love

How much money is still tied up to Rodgers currently?

Too much money is the only real answer.

Eagles pick up Quinn from the Bears for a 4th round pick.

Was expecting a 5th or 6th so totally cool with a 4th for sure. Even if it'll be a later 4th.

Way too much for him to be a backup.

As I said, we should've traded his ass to Denver when we had the chance. Load up on some weaponry in the draft, then see if Loverboy or Drew Lock is the better fit. Our record would still be 3-4 at this point tbh.

Rodgers is both an incredibly talented QB and an insufferable douchebag. His talents are wasted by him wanting to always be the highest-paid NFL player and his me-first, team-second attitude that only makes the locker room toxic. His astronomical ego turns free agents off - that even Davante got tired of his shit speaks volumes. That he's trying to be the Packers' GM again and taking zero culpability for the losses shows he's still as awful and toxic as he was the year he got McCarthy fired midseason.

You would have gotten even more than the Seahawks did.

Honestly I hate sleeping on planes so I get it

only time Ive done it was when I slept at a airport

Is this the first time Aaron Rodgers has been so honest about himself as an NFL QB?

Nice. I understood that reference.

That story seems fake, but I totally believe the one about him stretching on the plane to London. That's not even a bad thing to do.

I always stretch on long flights, that doesn't seem weird
