Huge game tomorrow between Chicago and Philly. Everyone picking Philly at home. They will need to get their offense going though. Caleb has some weapons and a good offensive coach in Johnson. Love this part of the year until Super Bowl.

Ran over them literally. Was a good watch because they lost. Otherwise the game was pretty boring.

I think Quinn coached well tonight. The defense is a vast improvement from Whitt running it.

100% agree - hard to do better with our 3 best pass rushers out, 2 starting CBs out, and our LBs playing with their feet in concrete. The Denver running game was no real threat and with no meaningful pressure on Nix, he's good enough to do what he did. We also put up over 400 yards of offense on that D (and had more yards than Denver did), and the team played with intensity throughout. I also liked going for 2 -- why in the world not -- and the playcall was solid (bad throw but McNichol was open).

I actually think we're going to win a few more games this season (Vikes, maybe one of the Eagles games, and Giants) -- won't help with draft position but I just cannot bring myself to hope for them to lose.

Going for 2 was the only logical option; giving Denver the ball back with 3 ins. means losing or a tie at best, and with a losing record it's got to be win or bust. And i don't blame Mariota for that miss, they were in his face virtually from the snap, if he'd lobbed the ball over Bonitto, it likely wouldn't reach McNichols anyway. Good play call, bad execution; they had 6 blockers on the other 4 rushers and let Bonitto run free.

I will always argue, you're not a real fan if you want your team to lose, regardless of the scenario.

Guys are still fighting and playing hard for him. Don’t really understand what some fans want from him given the shitty circumstances of this season.

yea i don't get the fans . seems a lot folks sell there tickets so visiting teams can flood our home ? I guess the Snyder years and name change did so much damage that it will take a long time to get that back .. we got fans already wanting Terry gone and some hating on JD .. I get it but this team really doesn't gave much of a fan base to speak of .. I've been a FAN since 1969 .. i've been through it all, I do appreciate sites like this and we all are true fans on here ! Rock on

Patriots and Drake Maye dropped 30 points on the Gmen and so called good defense in the first half

It’s been a weird year. I didn’t have Drake Maye as a MVP candidate

[AnonEmouse]

Not to belittle Mate, he's done what he's done, but I want to see him in the playoffs before he's anointed. All credit if he can do it when it counts most against a top D. The Pats are winning largely because their D is good and their O is playing largely mistake free, and a lot of that is on Maye, but they have had an easy schedule. If they beat the Bills again and then the Ravens, then they're going to win the division (they're not losing to the Jets or Dolphins barring a disaster) and I'd then agree he's a definite candidate if not a lock.

This year there hasn't been a clear candidate, possibly Stafford or Darnold (never thought I'd say that!). Going to be an interesting 4 weeks, given we've little else to watch out for (Commanders fans that is).

Could you imagine a Bears-Patriots Superbowl? We can call it the outta-nowhere bowl.

I actually can't see it happening -- the Bears D is not very good, and in the playoffs, they'll get exposed (they remind me a little of us from last year -- good offense masking a bad defenses and winning all the close games) Vrabel has those guys in NE playing hard; I cannot understand why the Titans let him go. I thought it was dumb then and looks even worse now.

Feels like the playoff race is more open than any time I can recall in recent years.

Interesting race heading into the final 5 weeks of the season. 20 teams are legit playoff contenders.

There's a team that could enter the equation, not for a wild card, but for their division. The Bengals, who are 4-8 but only 2 games back from Ravens and Steelers and they still have a home game with Ravens. Of course, they need to beat Bills this week before their matchup with Ravens.
