Run the football eh? How many rushing yards do the Pats have right now? We throw the short passes and we'll run when we have too. Somone has to stop the pass 1st then we'll try something else. Our D is winning us games right now anyway. Go Pack!!!!

OK, here's the numbers: Pats 135.8 rush yards /game (8th in NFL) 4.2 yards per carry.

Packers? 71.3 rush yards a game (32nd of 32) and 3.4 yards per carry.

Your perception that NE can't run is dead wrong.

Your Packers can't be that good. My Bears team is TERRIBLE this year and you couldn't even beat them at Lambeau.

I'm not sure I can defend our running game, but "your" Bears might have won, but that was hardly a defining moment in Beardom...please..

Its not a defining moment in "Beardom" (whatever that is) but it may be in "Packerdom".

On New England-

Yeah, they may be the best team but I don't think the margin between them and the Colts is as big as the public seems to think. Everyone wants to look at point differentials; Bitchichek has been hell bent on running up big scores on opponents. Look at the garbage he pulled last week; going for it on 4th down up 38-0, throwing deep at 45-0, showing visible anger when Washington scored to make it 52-7. That works fine when you clearly tower over your opponents. I don't believe they tower over the Colts and we'll see how the bully reacts when he gets punched in the face a few times.......I'm sure the Colts could've run up bigger victory margins if they wanted to but the Colts DON'T have one thing the Patriots have for a coach: a classless asswipe.

I agree that the Bears were outplayed in the Arizona game LY and Green Bay this year (although disagree re: the thumping of NYG last year) but it is easy to overlook special teams and the Bears have the best special teams player of this year, and probably any year. Hester is an amazing talent.

Back to GB, in the first half of the game the Bears were in cover 2 and not up on the WRs and Favre just kept completing slant after slant. They adjusted in the second half and I thought GB's play calling got too conservative. They looked like they were playing to not lose. Good test for GB this week; short week, on road again against an above .500 AFC team.
