Not that it would have won us the game and not surprised that refs missed it, but the commentators didn’t even hint that the CB probably got away with one.

In Maye We Trust

Raridon looks like a legit #1 TE. Does anyone know why he slipped to the 3rd round? I never saw him play in college. It’s damn good to see players drafted in the later rounds contributing.

Bears fan here, I know you guys don't need to hear it because you already know it but these guys are genuinely so fun to watch and will be must see TV for years to come (I really hope Drake gets some help on offense)

He made one mistake in the second quarter but outside of that I think he played well. If we had another possession I think there’s a good chance we would have scored and won the game but the d could not get off the field on 3rd down. They gave up a td on 3rd and 17, odunze has a crazy catch on 3rd and 9 and I think they also gave up a 3rd and 11. This is not the best offense we will go up against this year as Detroit can also put up a lot of points with the playmakers they have.

I know this season has been fairly brutal, between Maye’s slow start and now the inability for this team to be healthy, and I’m more than happy to discuss the things that went wrong last night, but I figure we have plenty of posts/threads where that discussion can be had.

Watching last nights game I was just absolutely stoked to see Raridon and Jacas just coming up with play after play. I have very high hopes for them both, Jacas was looking like an absolute game wrecker in that first half, and Raridon being trusted in this offense already for a rookie TE is very exciting for the future of this team. And of course Lomu, who has limited snaps obviously, has still looked extremely promising in the snaps he’s had.

The loss stinks after we had some short lived momentum, but the seasons far from over, and I can’t wait to see where our young guys are at by seasons end. Go Pats! Happy Friday.

Let’s talk the positives, I think this was one of Drake’s best games minus the interception.

But how bout the rookie TE, continues to make plays, kid looks legit.

What is your positive takeaway from tonight’s game?

Nobody should be doom and gloom after that. Chicago is an elite team & we were down many pivotal players on a short week.

Drake played phenomenal. Rariden continues to look like a stud.

Just couldn't get off the field on 3rd down & missed too many tackles..two things we are usually pretty money at.

We are more than fine.

Probably one of those losses where I wasn’t completely pissed off. The defense could have been better obviously but there’s been numerous times this season the defense has bailed out the patriots offense so many times. On a short week Id cut them some slack.

One positive for me is how Drake Maye played in this game. The way he moved protection around, used his legs, and made good decisions outside of one pick. He was able to look past that turnover and still have a great game. I was happy seeing him kind of laugh it over wishing he had it back versus the other look we know so well 😂

Early in the game when I seen the exotic blitzing I started having Seahawk flashbacks but man the way he made adjustments pre snap etc finding way to buy more time with what he has put a lot of faith in me for the future because at times people think they’ve found Drake Mayes kryptonite but he’s only getting better

“He's an outstanding player. It's very hard to bottle him up. You know, you only rush four, and he finds a way if he doesn't see anything down the field to find an open gap and, you know, skirt on through. And then I think what's really impressive is how he can find these little outlets and these dumps where they're still running vertical for catch-and-run opportunities. I think they had a number of those tonight.”
