Agree. After watching Sunday's game the Vikes have plenty of issues to address before I'm sold. The injury bug and turnovers could send this thing back down the turlet in a hurry for them. They were definitely the better team yesterday but as one famous politician once said, I couldn't figure out why they weren't 50 points ahead!

  Khalil Mack Undergoing Tests on Injured Ankle

  ....
The Bears upcoming loss might be bigger than the one they suffered this weekend.
Chicago looks like an actual team this year and that's mostly thanks to the arrival of Khalil Mack. He has been nothing short of a superstar and has been worth the high price of acquiring him. Mack has been the backbone of this Bears' defense, which took a huge hit as he left Sunday's game with an ankle injury.
 
The Bears have announced that he'll undergo tests to see if there's any larger damage looming.
It seems precautionary, but still far from ideal.
 
Mack left during the first half, but came back in to finish the rest of the game. It clearly bothered him as he finished without a sack or a forced fumble for the first time as a Bear.
Mack has been one of the most important players in the league for this team and needs to be healthy if the Bears are going to be anywhere near a playoff team.

I think Da Bears have an easier schedule the rest of the way compared to the Vikes.

And Aaron Rodgers isn't letting the Packers give up.

[glenn57]

  last i looked there are 11 players on the field at the same time. 1 person doesnt make a team, we lost Griffin, the Vikes still WON!!!!!!!

  Bears fall to No. 3 overall in DVOA, Mitch Trubisky keeps them afloat.

  ...
Despite a disappointing defeat, you’ll be delighted to know the Bears are still quite good.
Contrary to popular belief, the sky is not falling for the Bears. Sometimes good teams lose games they should win. Sometimes good teams lose games they shouldn’t win. (Which is what the Bears almost accomplished against the Dolphins on Sunday).

  ...
Yet despite suffering their second defeat of the 2018 season, however, the advanced efficiency numbers are still quite kind to the Bears. A slight drop off isn’t what you would have thought it to be. This is a good football team that suffered one road loss, case closed.
After sitting at No. 2 overall in Football Outsiders’ DVOA for three consecutive weeks, Sunday’s loss in Miami only had the Bears fall to No. 3 overall. Surprise, surprise! The two teams ahead of Chicago, in the Chiefs and Rams respectively, are the early presumed Super Bowl favorites.

Meanwhile, despite letting up over 540 yards of offense and 31 points to ... Brock Osweiler,
the Bears maintained their stranglehold of the No. 1 overall defensive rating in DVOA. One bad blemish of a week where they missed an astonishing 19 tackles isn’t enough to sink the league’s best defense through six weeks of play.
 
What likely buoyed the Bears’ metrics overall to withstand a poor loss is a rise in their offensive play. At the start of the 2018 season, Chicago’s attack was putrid and Mitchell Trubisky played at a mediocre level. An overall stellar last two weeks for both in a complete blowout over the Buccaneers and a resolving almost-comeback, has the Bears sitting with the NFL’s No. 14 offense in DVOA. For the first time in over six seasons, Chicago has a top-half defense and offense.
 
That sound you’re hearing is the world imploding in on itself at the reality of a balanced roster at Halas Hall coming together.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski out vs. Bears with back injury

  .....
Patriots star Rob Gronkowski has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Chicago.
New England's all-pro tight end had initially been listed as questionable with a back injury and wound up not making the trip with the team.
The oft-injured Gronk, who absorbs nearly as much punishment as he doles out, has not played a full 16-game regular season since 2011, his second year in the NFL.

He has 26 catches for 405 yards and one TD in 2018.
Dwayne Allen, a blocking specialist, should pick up the bulk of Gronkowski's snaps against the Bears, who have allowed the fourth-fewest points in the league.

  ...
Though Allen is unlikely to command the number of targets Gronk does, Tom Brady still has plenty of capable targets in running back James White (team-high 37 catches), and receivers Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and newly acquired Josh Gordon, who's steadily seen more action since being traded by Cleveland last month.

So now da pats will have an excuse ready as to why "DA BEARS" beat dem.

                   More Bears 

  NFL Week 7 matchups to watch:

10/21/18

Should Mitchell Trubisky, Bears have Patriots on upset alert?

  .....
For all of the hand-wringing that the Patriots faced after a 1-2 start, the defending AFC champions seem to have snapped out of their early-season struggles.
The return of Julian Edelman has sparked New England's offense, which has scored 81 points in its last two games, but Rob Gronkowski has been ruled out of Sunday's game with a back injury.

 
Many will be eager to see how Tom Brady handles Khalil Mack and the Bears defense on Sunday, but it might be the battle on the other side of the ball that proves more crucial in determining the course of the game.

  .......
Chicago coach Matt Nagy knows how to attack a Bill Belichick outfit. He was Kansas City's offensive coordinator last year when the Chiefs scored a stunning 42-27 victory over New England in the season opener. And though his offense can't match the explosiveness or efficiency of this year's Chiefs team, which just last week pushed Belichick's crew in a 43-40 shootout, it still can deploy the kind of wrinkles that could throw the Patriots off their game.
