The Bears have played against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick’s Patriots on four occasions since 2002 Youth Allen Robinson II Jersey , and have summarily lost every time. Inter-conference play has limited the opportunities to come out on top, but it’s nonetheless still a blemish for the modern Bears. On Sunday, with Brady and company visiting an upstart Bears team, this might present Chicago’s last best chance to place themselves on an NFL pedestal. To prove they’re for real and a legitimate contender to be reckoned with. That or Brady and friends humiliate the Bears as they’re likened to do to anyone. Either or. Here’s how the Windy City Gridiron staff sees Bears-Patriots playing out. Robert Zeglinski: Patriots 35 Bears 31I think the Bears are ready to square up for this kind of titanic matchup, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to overcome the class of the NFL in an instant classic. Lester A. Wiltfong Jr.: Bears 28 Patriots 27The Bears lost a heart-breaker to the Packers in Week 1, then regrouped and won three straight. I see another winning streak coming for this young team. Aaron Leming: Patriots 27 Bears 23Yes the Bears are at home and yes it’ll be a close game Womens Taylor Gabriel Jersey , but this is a loss I’ve had on their schedule since it came out in April. A 3-3 record would have a lot of Bears fans on edge. We’ll see who this team really is over the next few weeks. Jacob Infante: Patriots 27 Bears 21The Patriots are still the Patriots, even if they aren’t as dominant as they used to be. It will likely be a close game, but I don’t see the Bears being able to overcome Brady and company.Samuel Householder: Patriots 33 Bears 31The Patriots are too much for the up and coming Bears, but the Bears defense has a lot of pride and is going to want to make up for last week. The Patriots can be scored on. Expect the Bears to be good for the cover and the over.Josh Sunderbruch: Patriots 27 Bears 21I have the Bears at 5-3 by the midpoint, and this game has worried me from the beginning of the season. I think Chicago takes a week recovering from Miami and finds its stride again afterward.Jack Silverstein: Patriots 42, Bears 41The Prophecy decries that the Bears will lose to New England and win out the rest of the season. Brady puts the finishing touches on a 5-0 Bears career with a game-winning screen to James White for 18 yards.Andrew Link: Bears 31 Patriots 27The Bears were embarrassed on defense against the Dolphins. I think they come out and hit Brady ... often. The Bears offense is rolling and I don’t think that stops against the 19th ranked (by DVOA) defense. Patti Curl: Bears 46 Patriots 10This might just be a trap game for the other team Youth Eric Kush Jersey , and I can’t pass on the opportunity to quote my favorite score of all-time. ECD: Bears 28 Patriots 27This game will likely come down to the final drive. After having a bad game in Miami, this defense will look for redemption as they host an inconsistent offense at Soldier Field. WhiskeyRanger: Bears 21 Patriots 20The defense should regroup at home, and the Patriots’ skill position players aren’t exactly lighting the world on fire. It’ll be close, but after last week’s disappointing loss, I think the Bears come out on fire and eke one out against a team that dropped one to the Lions a few weeks ago.Ken Mitchell: Bears 37 Patriots 24The Patriots defense is very suspect, while the Bears defense should contain Brady at home. Playing at Soldier Field is again an advantage http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/kyle-long-jersey , and that will help as well.WCG Contributors: Jeff Berckes; Patti Curl; Eric Christopher Duerrwaechter; Kev H; Sam Householder; Jacob Infante; Aaron Lemming; Andrew Link; Ken Mitchell; Steven Schweickert; Jack Silverstein; EJ Snyder; Lester Wiltfong, Jr.; Robert Zeglinski; Like us on Facebook. The Oakland Raiders waived Bruce Irvin on Saturday after the team's leading pass rusher had his playing time reduced significantly in recent weeks.Irvin played just nine snaps in a 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. He will be subject to waivers and will be owed about $3.8 million for the rest of the season if he isn't claimed next week."We would like to thank Bruce Irvin for his years of service to the Oakland Raiders and we wish him the best," general manager Reggie McKenzie said.Oakland came into the year banking on Irvin and Khalil Mack to serve as bookend pass rushers anchoring the defense. Mack was traded a week before the season to Chicago for a package of draft picks following a lengthy contract holdout, and now Irvin is gone too.Irvin thanked the Raiders organization for his time in Oakland."I will always cherish my experience with the Oakland Raiders," he said on his Twitter feed. "As the seasons change, so do our roles and I look forward to continuing my journey with the NFL!"The Raiders (1-7) rank last in the NFL with just seven sacks and have a league-worst 35 quarterback pressures Authentic Jordan Howard Jersey , according to SportRadar. The next worst team is Tennessee with 59.The 31-year-old Irvin has three of the sacks and five of the pressures but has had little impact on a defense that is on pace to be one of the worst ever. Irvin has just six tackles despite an $8 million salary.Oakland is allowing 6.76 yards per play, the worst by any team through eight games since the 1970 merger. The Raiders have allowed the second-most points as a franchise through eight games (252), are tied for the second-fewest takeaways (six) and have the fewest sacks (seven). Oakland also has allowed opponents to have a 113.9 passer rating, a mark that only one team ever has been worse than over a full season.Irvin played just 24 snaps in Week 8 against Indianapolis and then just nine against the 49ers. Irvin's six games with his fewest snap counts since joining the Raiders in 2016 have come this year. Irvin had one tackle, no sacks and no pressures his final three games.Coach Jon Gruden attributed the lack of playing time to Irvin not being part of the base defense against the 49ers."We weren't in our nickel defense very much," Gruden said Friday. "Remember we're a 4-3 team http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/kyle-fuller-jersey , we're not a 3-4. So in the base defense, sometimes he doesn't fit the role that we need done. No disrespect to Bruce. He's an edge rusher. We haven't had a lead. We haven't had the opposition behind in the chains a lot. So his role has been reduced. I know he's frustrated. I'm frustrated. We'll try to solve that as soon as possible. He's a good player. He's a good player."Irvin was on the field for just seven of the team's 23 snaps in nickel formation with his other two plays coming in goal-line defense.Irvin had 15 sacks his first two seasons with the Raiders. Irvin's 11 forced fumbles since the start of the 2016 season are the most in the NFL in that span.The Raiders have now cut two of the players picked as captain this season having already released linebacker Derrick Johnson last month.
