I really don't see how the Bears can lose this game.
When you look at the Lions roster, outside of their two big wide-outs, they really have nobody. Kitna is alright, but they really have a talent-less roster. Their RB’s are run of the mill, their O-Line is nondescript and their TE’s should never be heard from today. Their defense is pathetic and without Shaun Rodgers, who was never really in good enough shape to dominate anyway, they have no player that you need to gameplan for.
Forte should have a huge game and the Bears should win big. 31-16.
ESPN's fantasy projections
Had Forte with 135 yards and 2 TDs and Orton with 190+ yards and 2 TDs and no INTs. That sounds about right. I hope that at least one of Tillman and Vasher can go.
Fire Ron Turner!!!

ernie simms is a good'n
id take him over hillenmeyer and we have easily the best lb corps in the nfl
wait...
… so their best linebacker is better than the bears’ 3rd linebacker?

Don't know if you heard
but Vasher is denying getting surgery and is hoping to play today.
Tillman practiced on Wed, so he could also be in.
Has anybody seen the inactives.

Steltz, Vasher, Chris Williams, Buenning, Lloyd, and Toeina.

Should be a great day for the Bears
One thing we have to remember, boys and girls, is that we’re playing the Lions. You can take Millen from leadership, but they’ll continue to play like he’s in charge.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Until they start drafting well
Millen’s mark on the team will last for years.

if the bears
are thinking the same way you guys are, they will lose this game. arrogance has been their problem all along.
did you watch last year?
they played the lions twice. they lost twice. kitna was the qb. the bears came in with everyone talking them up.
I agree with you
I just have a nagging feeling this game could get turned around on us.

Greise was the QB for Tampa when they beat us by throwing.
Tampa was just 3 passes short of setting a NFL record for passing against us that is what worries me for this game.
Ye all of little faith
Yes, we have injuries at key spots and the Lions have a chance to upset us.
This year, we actually have a good running back and their defense is ranked dead damn last. It will take a lot of things to happen for us to lose.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

And very grumpy.

yeah
kinda sucks. but at least football’s on. Even if baseball is dead to me.
Jay Glazer just said some guy named “Manny Ramirez” is starting at guard for the Lions. I hope Anthony Adams completely plants him at least 3 times.

not worse. block in the back negates a great run back
but this penalty gives hester another shot at a td.
Even a block in the back would've kept us at the 50.
Stupid offsides though.

what i'm saying
is that as long as hester gets another chance to return the ball.

8 yards on 1st
That is what detroit had been giving up on a average
Extra effort made the 1st.

Extra effort would imply effort ever happened.

when was that discussed?
and why would they want to do that? he’s our best player on offense.
can't burn him out early in the season
Rookie wall plus he’s on track for what 300 touches? Thats a lot for one guy.

If you're in 2 down territory...
why not go endzone on 3rd down? If you’re going for big play, swing for the fences.

they did...
… essentially go “endzone” on 3rd down. but you don’t run what was essentially a fade route to your fullback.

Got to like the way this is going
We should have some more points and I would have thought forte would have broken at least one, but things are moving nicely.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
After that graphhic
I was convinced that big_lowitzki to chime in with something like “God Orton sucks, we’re the only team not to score 21 on Detroit in the first half…”
