NFL 2021 Season

I've been to all the NFL games at Tottenham and I have always walked from and to Seven Sisters tube station. Bit of a longer walk, about 20-30 mins but you can lose a lot of the crowd along the way so most of the time its not too bad. Having said that there was an incident in the tube station when I got there on way back yesterday so normal entrance to tube was shut, but I have now found there is another entrance for Seven sisters about 2 mins away so wasn't too bad.

Yea, saw the sign for Seven Sisters when going down the main street. Our other option was Liv. St to White Hart Lane but Tottenham Hale was preferable as we could change at Stratford.
 
@Gazanimal Did you catch one of the t-shirts?

Fantastic seats, great to be so close to the Bears sideline.
Sadly not. They never came down far enough to our end. They went about 3/4 of the way along the sideline and stopped.

Was a great experience, even though my wife was totally confused as she’s watched one NFL game ever. Good stadium to be fair.

Ah OK. I saw the Elvis impersonator and groups going up and down both sidelines.

Tbf I think it was better than Wembley for NFL. Although I haven't been to Wembley since that 2011 game. Also the way they captured so much of the home experience; the fight song, pre-game cgi intro, Metallica rift, the fast moving light effects around the stadium, flag teams running around. Some of that experience of Soldier Field.
 
Got lucky in that CBS have the Chi - Was game on as their second game in New York. Great start from the Bears offence again.

Post game edit: gg Washington. That was awful to watch mostly. Penalties, offensive production that was terrible for 3 qtrs. Ending was crazy.

Yeah, I stayed up to watch it, quite an odd game. On the one hand, I would claim Washington deserved the win, on the other hand, we probably didn't deserve it failing so badly in the Red Zone so many times... Without wanting to start an argument, a better team would have buried us. (And to level things, I still think we're being overrated by everyone.)

What I did realise (and kind of miss) when you watch one game rather than Red Zone, you have much less idea of what's going on around the league! (Sorry, maybe an obvious statement)

Yea I think the Bears were pretty bad for most of the game so in that sense didn't 'deserve' to win. And what it does do is once again expose how much we still need to reinforce in both trenches. Caleb looked bad though but without re-watching I'm not sure how much of that is on him vs the revolving door at oline vs play calling.

I have watched more live, full games (not just Bears) this year and I've loved it. Whilst I like RZ you do miss so much of the game. Even just TV vs being there has differences in what you pick up on. I just wish in the UK there was a way to have your pick of any NFL game without being tied to paying for two separate, premium TV packages. I.e. Game Pass as mainland Europe gets it.

Interestingly, despite shipping two great DE's, we're getting reasonably good pressure on QB's (maybe this is why we shipped them?) so Caleb wasn't in an easy position quite often. Personally, I think you guys should be very happy though. Physically, I think I've seen Caleb do things that I'm not sure even someone like Maholmes would be able to do. (He's made some ridiculous passes while on the move)

100%. Daniels looks better right now. And the Commanders are looking great too. The coaches and the scheme they have on offensive has worked very quicky.

The Bears had a lot of holes going into last season and even with trades for Sweat, the drafting of QB/WR we just didn't have the opportunity to fill the needs on the trenches in one off-season. In addition no Brisker and Gordon in the secondary hurt a little bit. Just one of those days unfortunately. Rookies will have good and bad days as you say. Also I think out division has the NFC champs in it plus our bogie team who always beat us at the moment.

I feel like this year for us is development but we will have to strengthen OL and DL in off-season to be contenders. I am loving the fact the rookie QBs are rolling at the moment. Good to see.
 
Reminded of a comment from the Bears subreddit this morning. 'It's one thing if you do something in week 1, It's another if you're doing it in week 3 or 4. But if you are doing it in week 7 or 8 then it's who you are.'

Two weeks is a long time in the NFL but by god have the Bears been putrid the last two weeks. So undisciplined, which has been a thing all season. Not sure what to think on a number of fronts, but eek!
