Excellent game because we won.
New England Patriots 17, Chicago Bears 13 @ Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
Holy cow, what a game. Nine turnovers, five for the Patriots, but we still won. A win is a win and I'll take it.
Billed as a possible Super Bowl XLI preview, two of the best teams in the NFL slugged it out. It was a must win for the Patriots playoff positioning, not so much for the Bears solely becasue of the lead they have in their conference. The officiating was questionable on two pass interference calls called against the Patriots that set up the Bears with great field position on both. I think those calls led to 10 points.
I do feel bad for Patriots linebacker Junior Seau who broke his arm in an extremely ugly fashion, which was caught on camera. He's probably done for the year, unless the Patriots get to the Super Bowl, and possibly his career (being a 17 year NFL veteran). This guy has been called a freak and I'll bet he could come back next year and play well, if he wanted to. No comeback this season for Seau. The Patriots on Monday put him on the injured/reserved list, officially ending his season. I'd like to see him play again next season, though. And I'll bet that leaving a game injured is not how he pictured endng his career - competetive guy that he is.
The Patriots should have an easier game next week, as the horrible 2-9 Detroit Lions come to the Razor.

The Steelers totally sucked today, so consider your Pats a success!
Junior Seau is still playing football? God, he has to be over the hill LOL
Nobody expects to end their career with an injury.
But I knew it would happen eventually! Chicago is only good because they keep playing mediocre teams! They finally played someone with some clout (as messy as the game was) and they lost! Ha! Ha!
And being a Browns fan DB... HA!HA! the Steelers Suck!! (I know, I know... so do the Browns.)
