Chicago Bears VS. Detroit Lions - Second Half Game Thread

PrintThe Good
- Umm.....Matt Forte?
- Devin Hester the receiver, definitely not Devin Hester the returner.
- No mention of Momma McNabb and John Madden, so all positives there.
The Bad
- Ron Turner's play calling on the "Carolina 3rd and 4th." Confusing at its best and insanity at worst.
The Ugly
- Yes, we're up 17-0, but we should be up more.

hester the returner...
… wasn’t that bad.
visit the mindful mission
Still hasn't gotten a touchdown this season
And returning hasn’t been has his strength this year.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
sure...
… but he hasn’t looked bad today. he also had a very nice return that was negated because of an offsides penalty.

Orton is much cooler under pressure
then that other guy still on the Bears
Me and a buddy were just talkin about him
We haven’t seen one damn clip of him on the sidelines this year.

If Olsen played like that against Carolina
Oh well Detroit Defense not so good.
Booker with an unbelievable catch.

that's a catch

Why challenge it?
Isn’t the result the same?

and the foul was at the 5?
That doesn’t seem worth a timeout….

announcers aren't very smart
it’s not a big difference, but it is 3 more yards
Visit The Cub Reporter (thecubreporter.com)
by thecubreporter on Oct 5, 2008 1:50 PM CDT up reply actions
ita like a two yard difference
don’t challenge this moron
The line of scrimmage that Fox had
was at the seven or the eight, so it is 5 more yards plus stats for Orton and Booker
--Torch
Could someone who's watching the game explain it?
I’m watching it, but this is designated “homework time” by the gf, so it’s on mute.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
that was a great catch and booker deserves it...
it’s a great confidence booster and maybe this will turn it around for booker
you don't burn a timeout to get a moral victory.

Still doesn't seem worth it

i personally think
you challenge anything you’re pretty sure you’re right about it. If the difference was actually 5 yards over 2 or 3, it’s definitely worth it. Starting at the 7 instead of the one and a half is a big difference…and it was clear they were going to win it.

So you have no excuses. Jerry would be pissed if you missed. lol

I watched the last two games at the game.
WGC needs to fix his mobile phone web interface.
Forte!!!
gonna kill my fantasy football matchup, but oh well….
time to let Roy Williams score a few just to make me feel better
Visit The Cub Reporter (thecubreporter.com)
forte
was two spots away from me when he got picked up late. would have been a great 5th round pick up
let's not step off the gas
but lets get some reps off of forte
Agreed
Let him rest a little bit. He’s done great today…..put KJ in or let Orton startin experimenting with new plays.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Peterson or Wolfe get some snaps maybe?
Lets see some of what we have behind Forte.

Ok at first I thought Payne was just weak
But I guess he had a plan
that fullback looked ginormous.
Payne looked tiny next to him.

This is what I meant....I wasn't trying to be cocky earlier
It’s just that the Lions are all talk and no walk.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Wow
that made me laugh really hard… if it’s not a fumble, it’s an interception.

I don’t want to see another Dick Stockton-announced game as long as I live, and not just bc he’s a bad announcer.
Bad memories there.

haha good to see you here!
hopefully we can look forward to a good season for the bears
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
well considering he did more in two seasons than some teams will do in a decade
i’d say he will have a down year at some point
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
He's had a few good ones
that were called back. Of course, the penalties might have been why he got loose.

Not necessarily
it only takes one turnover…
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game." - Walt Whitman
we still got a pretty good defense
and i can see the lions going for it on fourth down….field goal does nothing for them right now
this game just shows me what a combo of efficient offense and tough defense can do
now if only special teams does something….unstoppable i tell ya
way to tackle.
lame.

Needed to give Kitna a touchdown
Otherwise he would’ve killed everyone in the locker room.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Kitna's been on the sideline
The second half
I know that
But have you seen his glare? He just looks like a person who could kill and not bat an eye.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Redemption time, Devin!

I wonder how Rex's demeanor is?
He lost the starting job, i know he must be a little upset about it, but is he helping the team at all by helping Orton develop his deep throws? I hope Rex is still helping the team from the sidelines…he could be needed if Orton ever goes down.
?
orton doesn’t have good touch on his deep throws at all. don’t think rex could help him on that, unless they switch arms.

showed some touch this year
not evry time, but at least a few times.

I was a junior that year… my two most abiding Ross-Aide Stadium memories are Craig Krenzel’s long TD pass on 4th-and-1, and Kyle Orton’s fumble against Wisconsin. Ick.

I'm actually proud of the Bears today
First back-to-back weeks that we’ve played consistent.

Still alot of time left
My faith isn’t quite up to calling anything a win yet.

Wow, I'd say
The Cubbies killed your faith.
With less than a minute left and the Lions putting no discernable part of an offense together, I’d say it’s over.
I did like Roy’s little hissy.

Still a whole quarter left.

But Roy's hissy says all you need to know about the Lion's mental fragility
It’d be one hell of a comeback. As far as I’m concerned, this one’s done. Keep pounding them, but it’s done.

why did the fox robot have a bat?
i realize that fox has baseball too but that graphic still doesn’t make any sense.
I figure I should state that I know that Pujols is a righty. But it was eerily similar.

how are the dolphins winning??
they already beat the Pats, but they look like they’re on they’re way to beating the Chargers. This NFL season is already looking pretty crazy.
Atlanta up by 10 over Green bay

3 point game with a little less than 2:00 minutes
Indy is now winning

Lions wanted to take away the run and the bears took advantage through the air. solid pass blocking today
cool
bears still need to be able to run. they need to impoe their will, not the other way around.
true
but i’m not really concerned about our run blocking. and its hard to know for sure how good the pass blocking is since the Lions have only 4 sacks all year.
