Bears rout the Bills Ricky Wagner Jersey , 41-9The Bears are a prime example of what it¡¯s like to not have to rely on your offense to do much of anything and still win games. I am supremely jealous of their talented defense. Bills quarterbacks have thrown for a combined three touchdowns all year. They threw two passes that resulted in a touchdown for the other team on Sunday.You have to hand it to the Bears for handling their last two opponents with ease. Sure, we expected them to win the last two, but no game is a guarantee and they didn¡¯t just win, they dished out back-to-back beatdowns. It hurts to say this, but the Bears are in good shape to win the division this year, especially if they can at least split with the Lions over the next three weeks. They also have the Giants and 49ers on their schedule still, though they are both away games.Next game: @ Lions (3-5)Vikings handle Lions with ease, win 24-9We all know what happened in this one. If you want to torture yourself and relive this disaster of a football game, then you can read the rest of the site. But right now, we¡¯re going to keep this short and purely centered around the Vikings.The Vikings¡¯ defense is really good, especially their defensive line. Their offense is really good, too. The Vikings are a good football team. Next game: @ Bears (5-3)Patriots pull away late, hand the Packers their fourth road loss, 31-17The Packers are now 0-4 on the road and 3-0-1 at home. According to ESPN¡¯s win probability, Green Bay was nearly a 60 percent favorite to win the game to start the fourth quarter while it was tied at 17-17. But unfortunately for them  http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-jone s-jersey , they had no answer for the Patriots¡¯ late offensive surge, and didn¡¯t score a single point the rest of the game. Aaron Rodgers struggled with only 259 yards on 42 attempts (6.0 yards per attempt) and couldn¡¯t keep up with with the GOAT. This marks Green Bay¡¯s second loss in a row and things could get worse for them as their next three opponents all have winning records (Dolphins, Seahawks and Vikings), with two of those games on the road. The Packers are also dealing with a lot of injuries currently, with many coming in Sunday night¡¯s game. Linebacker Blake Martinez, cornerback Kevin King and safety Kentrell Price all suffered injuries against the Patriots and did not return. Jaire Alexander left the game briefly, but would return. Wide receiver Geronimo Allison is also out with a core muscle injury and could be a candidate for the IR.Next game: vs. Dolphins (5-4)NFC North Week 9 Standings1. Chicago Bears (5-3)2. Minnesota Vikings (5-3-1)3. Green Bay Packers (3-4-1)4. Detroit Lions (3-5)Two weeks ago, I was pretty excited about the opportunity for the Lions and thought they had a real shot at the division. Now, after two ugly losses in back-to-back weeks, I¡¯d say it¡¯ll take a miracle for them to win the North. Sweeping the Bears would be a nice start, but I¡¯m not liking their chances right now. Despite being in second currently, I think the division is still Minnesota¡¯s to lose. They are just too good on paper and are much more balanced than the Bears, who are still having their struggles offensively. The Bears and Vikings face off for the first time all year in two weeks, which should be an interesting battle. That game has also been flexed into the Sunday Night Football slot. The Detroit Lions delivered a butt-whipping out of their bye week. Now, they¡¯ll have to avoid the same fate. This week  http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-legarrette-blo unt-jersey , the Seattle Seahawks are coming in fresh and healthy off their bye week, and¡ªmuch like the Lions¡ªthey are trending in the right direction. Having won three of their last four games, the Seahawks are not dead, as many assumed they would be. How have they managed to keep the team competitive despite losing so many key players? Let¡¯s check the weekly scouting report: Seattle SeahawksLast season9-7 record (2nd in NFC West)11th in points scored, 13th in points allowedOverall DVOA: 14th (14th on offense, 13th on defense)2018 offseasonKey free agent additions: TE Ed Dickson, LB Barkevious Mingo, G D.J. Fluker, WR Brandon Marshall, K Sebastian Janikowski, S Maurice Alexander Key losses: CB Richard Sherman, DL Michael Bennett, DT Sheldon Richardson, DE Cliff Avril, CB DeShawn Shead Cheap Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , TE Luke Willson, TE Jimmy Graham2018 NFL draft picks:Round 1, 27 overall - RB Rashaad Penny Round 3, Pick 79 - DT Rasheem GreenRound 4, Pick 120 - TE Will DisslyRound 5, Pick 141 - LB Shaquem GriffinRound 5, Pick 146 - S Tre FlowersRound 5, Pick 149 - P Michael DicksonRound 5, Pick 168 - T Jamarco JonesRound 6, Pick 186 - LB Jacob MartinRound 7, Pick 220 - QB Alex McGough This appeared to be the year that the Seattle Seahawks blew up everything and started over. It was only a matter of time before their excellent drafting five years ago caught up with them. They couldn¡¯t realistically sign everyone to an extension, so they seemingly got rid of everyone. Just look at that ¡°key losses¡± section. There¡¯s a lot of Pro Bowls, All Pro nods and Super Bowls among that group.The most publicized losses came in the secondary, where the Legion of Boom was declared dead. Gone is Richard Sherman. Kam Chancellor is dealing with a potential career-ending injury. The one guy that¡¯s a holdover from the championship secondary, Earl Thomas Cheap Darius Slay Jr Jersey , suffered a season-ending injury and remains pissed at the team. This was as close to a complete overhaul as you can get for one team, but they were aggressive in recouping talent in free agency. 2018 season thus far (3-3)Week 1: Loss to Broncos, 24-27Week 2: Loss to Bears, 17-24Week 3: Win over Cowboys, 24-13Week 4: Win over Cardinals, 20-17Week 5: Loss to Rams, 31-33Week 6: Win over Raiders, 27-3Stats:17th in points scored, 5th in points allowed10th in DVOA (20th on offense, 4th on defense, 19th on special teams)Despite all of the key losses on defense, the Seahawks are managing to keep it together on that side of the ball. In just about every statistical category, the Seahawks rank in the top 10. Here¡¯s a sampling:4th in yards per passing attempt allowed (6.8)3rd in passer rating allowed (79.9)4th in points allowed per drive (1.71)t-6th in interceptions (9)However, you may have noticed I left out one key piece of their defense: their ability to stop the run. That¡¯s because they¡¯ve been uncharacteristically bad at doing so, allowing 4.7 yards per carry (t-25th). That being said Cheap Matthew Stafford Jersey , they still have quite a few playmakers on that defense to fear. The defensive line is headed by youngsters Frank Clark and Jarran Reed, while veteran Bobby Wagner remains a force in the second level. However, most impressive is the Seahawks¡¯ ability to maintain quality play in the secondary. Safeties Tedric Thompson and Bradley McDougald are playing like top-10 defensive backs right now.Offensively, Seattle is still working out some kinks. It¡¯s clear they want their identity to surround the running game again, as they run the ball more than anyone else in the league. Their success has been moderate, averaging 4.3 yards per carry with their trio of running backs: Chris Carson, Mike Davis and rookie Rashaad Penny. Carson brings the boom, Davis brings the balance, and Penny brings the quickness. Russell Wilson remains a big threat, despite the fact that he hasn¡¯t run the ball much at all this year (62 rushing yards). The biggest story here, though, may be that the Seahawks found themselves an offensive line that is much better than it looks on paper. They haven¡¯t been phenomenal¡ªthey¡¯ve allowed 19 sacks, second most among teams that have only played six games¡ªbut they¡¯ve held together more than expected. Put it all together, and you have a very good defense and an average offense. That¡¯s a lot more than most were expecting after a tumultuous offseason. Vegas line for Sunday: Lions by 3
