| The Lions are coming off of finally ending their 19 game losing streak. They are hoping to turn their first win in over a year into a winning streak at the hands of the Bears. Though they may be pumped up, it isn't going to happen. The Bears are rounding out to be a tough team, one that is building character and is becoming a team that will be tough for anybody to beat. They still have holes, but the Lions are not the team that is going to exploit them. I would say the Bears should have an easy time of this one, but I know better than to think the Bears will blow out a team they should. Let us just hope we can finally come out and play good at the beginning of the game, so we don't have to have another late game drive for the win. | |

I'm shocked to see that the Lions are still in it.
When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.
Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.
Ok the passing defense has been pretty bad but...
when the offense gets the ball on the 40 or the 10 yard line( they got a lucky call) they should score.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
im not really worried main reason this game is tied is...
defense is getting to stafford on the blitz so he has open receivers need to mix in some better zone blitzes offense is doing fine we need more matt forte and we keep pinning them down we should be killing them we have been picking it up in the second half look forward to a second half shutout by our D
As long as we have Cutler,
we’ll be competitive. Until we improve the D, we won’t be more than that.

Bowman is getting torched.
I miss the days of smash mouth football when you ran the ball and played tough defense.
There is so much passing now it’s just kinda sad. Well the NFL wants this.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
Did he drop the ball before he got in the end zone?
It kind of looked that way.
I thought exactly the same, look kind of Desean Jackson-like…

Got to love Knox
I have him on my fantasy

I saw the same thing.
Pulled a DeSean Jackson there.
I really thought he did drop it too soon. I hope someone shows him the tape later so he doesn't make a costly mistake
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Defense now!

Props to the special teams-
blocking was sweet. great speed and move, but there was a lane.

What’s up with DJ Moore? Why haven’t we seen him all year really?

I don't know,
with all the talk about Bowman coming out of Training camp. Didn’t really hear much about Moore.
although...detroit is making our ST look good
not to take anything away from our boys

great play by roach
taking on that blocker on the draw.

I think he's made it.
More mobile, makes more plays. Being flanked by vets mitigates the lack of experience. I’m on the Roach bandwagon, baby. :)

Almost as nice as not having the list of shitty QBs we've started in the past 10 years show up every game

congrats to Gould for his first +50 field goal at home
I think its his first at least

Finally
We might not have a close game against a bum team
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
dude the bears are getting great field position and aren't taking advantage.
I’m seriously worried about the running game now.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
well like Tom Thayer was saying
we are doing a lot of runs out a shotgun, and the defenders are blowing up the line of scrimmage. I don’t wanna see another shotgun run until we prove we can get regular runs
by Chitownproduct on Oct 4, 2009 2:04 PM CDT up reply actions
our running game hasn't been there all season

I know thats my point I thought this would be a game to breakout.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
Definitely some
serious issues with the running game. Makes me a little worried that I heard someone say earlier that our AP was out with a knee injury too. That just leaves us Forte and Wolfe. Troubling.
offensive lines take time to gell,
and we just integrate three new players, one who’s never played guard, and one who’s really a rookie.
I’m worried as well. Someone mentioned that Kreutz is having one of his best years. Is that true? It just seems like Forte’s been getting hit by DTs half the time.

Cutler's been pretty impressive buying time, staying mobile.
if orton was still qb, it woudl be a slaughter.

I know it takes O-line time to gel,
but in four weeks I would have liked to see a little improvement out of them. Forte doesn’t look like he did last year either. Would like to see him running a little angrier.
DUDE
FORTE HAS SIX FREAKING CARRIES!!! they need to pound him he could break another one

ill say it again
Lions were up 7-0 its been 31-14 since then
chicago starts out slow but that defense is hitting and hitting hard now
yeah
alot better tackling than the first few games..
now would be a great time for...
the bears to run it down their throats!

Reality is beginning to set in for the Lions
Look yonder, fellow SSSers. 2010 looms bright!

Hester needs to start watching Bennett
just catch the ball and run to the hole, stop dancing.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
lol
yeah bennett is pretty shifty.. top end speed is pretty good.. but he’s just getting what he can.. hester is just a bit hung up on breaking a big one.. who knows.. and who cares.. I actually want him to get the receiving down and let someone else come up.. then you can put hester on kickoffs again with knox.. then who do you kick to? I dunno.. once hester started dominating on returns, it was only a matter of time before teams started to key in on his tendencies… let teams underestimate some of the other guys with different habits… hopefully hetser gets that swagger back, but I’m not as concerned as some others..
Not many penalties
After that initial drive
Prolly heard my husband yelling at him. From Minneapolis.

he's such a crybaby..
All this kid does is pout and whine.. and did you see how he was scratching his back?

Everybody wants to say he's a whiner, but I never see evidence that he actually whines

The backscratching technique will be analyzed in the postgame show though.

Scary split...
Cutler against Packers in first half: 0 total touchdowns, 3 interceptions
Cutler since: 9 total touchdowns, 2 interceptions
He (Cutler) definitely
pulled it together. Too bad the O-line didn’t. The Viqueens D-line is going to eat our line.
hate to beat a dead horse
but the oline has seriously not had any push, at all
by Chitownproduct on Oct 4, 2009 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions
on tough situation yes
i wouldn’t be took hard on knox after that awesome return
I dunno...
IMO our D-Line is destroying them. Good for Marinelli, must feel good.

Yeah, only averaging 7 point something yards a carry today.
He sucks.

He's got something like 10 carries for 13 yards besides that first huge run. Not that great.
Football’s equivalent of jazz music
Maybe he's just keeping them honest?
Kinda hard to run when you are up by 13 late.

And what I mean by that is...
Short fields, Lions stacking the box, Cutler get’s easy looks on play fakes near the goal line. Forte is fine.

took
the text (words) right out of my keboard (mouth)
I would like it
to be more balanced as well. If they can’t run the ball it kinda ties Turner’s hands a little. Not defending the man, but it has to tough to call plays when you know the run isn’t going to work.
not in this game,
that I have seen. We did against the Steelers and Packers. Not much success with that.
I hope they're just being extra careful
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Brother Maynard has had a good game
That punt wasn’t the greatest, but he’s really underrated in general. Though it kinda sucks to ever say “our punter had a great game”
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I wouldn't call him under rated
I often hear announcers refer to him as “the best in the business”
Football’s equivalent of jazz music
they do
but how often does he make the pro bowl? how much recognition does he get outside of the announcers saying that once a game.. i think that is what juperee means..
by GtM on Oct 4, 2009 2:34 PM CDT up reply actions
yup, you got it.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I always think of Monty Python's character Brother Maynard with the holy hand grenade of antioch
when he comes out to boot it to the 2nd yd line.
And you’re right, earlier in this game, the announcers gave him props.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Well, he's not turning over the football, either.
Which is good.
We also have to remember...
…they can afford to chew up some clock since they’re ahead by 13.
Well, all my "poor Lions" sympathy from last year has evaporated and recondensed as deep hatred and disdain

Knee injury for Stafford? He was holding it after he got tackled

Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
anyone saw tommie harris?
The bears coaching staff don’t want him to rush the qb, but stay back at the line and wait for the quick pass
I just saw that on the replay
He was obviously guarding the pass.
maybe they think we could get it done with 3 men rushing?
by CutlerDabears on Oct 4, 2009 2:43 PM CDT up reply actions
i dont like to make this kind of assumption but
i think the only reason he is havin a good year is cause he might get her to open the purse and after that he’ll go back to last years play..
by GtM on Oct 4, 2009 2:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Dont laugh
We’re one Cutler injury from disaster ourselves
That would really reek...
…considering all the stuff Angelo gave up for him.
DOn't say it. I finally have a Bears offense jersey (#6) and don't wanna hang it up.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
No, we wish him well and move on
He’s playing for his next contract – his prior years have been marked by inconsistency. It may be also due to Marinelli’s influence, but they need to get younger on the D – Line, particularly since Harris’s knees look like they’re about two seasons from imploding.
sorry, who are you talkig about?
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I like Gilbert's
potential. With Marinelli coaching him from the beginning I’m really hoping he turns into a beast.
and Maynard for VP!
gould sec of state! Briggs Sec of Defense! Ron turner Sec of the Interior! gotta little carried away at the end.. sorry

More irony...
…Cutler may very well end up with his lowest yardage game…since his last game against Detroit.
anytime he has 3 total touchdowns with no picks
im a happy camper

I told you guys
the bears would shut them out in the second half granted they gave up a field goal forte still didnt get enough carries only 12 but he made them count and the defense stepped briggs is playing like a mad man roach is looking great so is williams
now just finish with no injuries
Stafford looks alwful happy
for his team getting waxed. Maybe he’s happy to not have to be on the field when it ends.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
lmao he holds on to the ball forever
lol watch harris getting a sack even though he doesnt rush
Bowman?
Again?
He just won’t be able to stay healthy
I don't get the Culpepper hate?

In a blowout loss...
The guy was basically retired after getting cut by the Vikings a year after shredding his knee.
You want to see what the Bears would look like if Cutler tore three ligaments in his knee? We’d lose every game.

Stop running Wofle up the middle
he is a speed guy, he has no bulk. Run him outside.

turner knows that everyone know that so he runs it up the middle to trick the defense! they will never expect it! Turner is a genius!

Wow.
I was a bit scared to begin with…
The Lions putting up 14 in Q1.
Way to go Bears, anyway. Offense, Defense, Special teams! Every guy contributing with something, and BAM, 48 Bears points!
slow start but great finish..
just like the last two weeks.. gonna be a long long season if that keeps going, but it will be exciting.. now to watch the broncos get their a— handed to them by the cowgirls..

He’s been great at making adjustments this year.
