Saturday Night Smack Talk! Lions at Bears Open Thread

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Nov 12, 2011 9:00 PM CST in Poll

It's round 2 suckas! But this time the game's in Chicago and hopefully the Bears o-line will be able to hear Jay Cutler's cadence. And hopefully Mike Martz will continue the trend his offense has been on. Let me get my prediction out of the way; The Bears will win. Both teams are good, but the Bears are a notch above the Lions.

My only Bears Lions game was...

the ’04 game where the Bears lost with Hutchinson as the QB. The Bears almost won that game, but lost when a last minute Hutch to Berrian pass was ruled incomplete under the same rule that was so controversial last year—now known as the Calvin Johnson Rule.

Detroit's about to get slapped around worse than Jim Schwartz at a post game hand shake.

I think Schwartz was angry because harbaugh's manly handshake did not last long enough

and he wanted a full on hug……Must get pretty lonely in Detroit.

Especially when your a winning coach.

Not exactly a lot of company for that type in Detroit, lol.

I hope Schwartz tries to start shit with Lovie.

Then gets pasted with a hook to the temple.

Lovie would simply stare at him and bore him to death.

Let’s hope for a good showing for both teams – and here’s one to chew on – a third meeting would likely occur in one place – at the NFC Championship

See the fist pump in that picture?

Get prepared to see that up close and personal tomorrow. Btw….. that’s what a head coach is supposed to look and act like. Fiery and willing to kick some ass right along with the players.

by DrewsLions on Nov 12, 2011 10:00 PM CST reply actions

a consistantly winning head coach looks and acts like Lovie Smith

a for the moment winning head coach looks like the picture of Schwartz above. He may be doing the fist pump along side his TV at home when the playoffs start

by dicksingletary on Nov 12, 2011 10:03 PM CST up reply actions

Lovie has class.. He's always reminded me some of Tom Landry just with less emotion lol

Schwartz acts like a drunk fan at a bar.. he maybe an ok head coach but he acts like an ass clown on the sidelines.. I’d be embarrassed if he coached the Bears.. The term ‘act like you’ve been there before’ comes to mind

Looks like it will shape up well for us. Anxious to see Stafford try to cut spirals through the gale force winds that are forcasted because I know cutty can. That being said, I wouldn’t be disappointed with a huge Matt Forte stat line and a bears W.

I have never been one to root for injury...

but the Bears do have a bit of a streak going with Stafford at Soldier Field, don’t they?

6-0 on the road? 0-2 for walking out of Chicago under his own power.

I'd rather Stafford play the entire game...

and get consistently owned every possession. We have yet to beat him for a full 60 minutes, usually a backup comes in before then.

by badsamaritan on Nov 13, 2011 12:38 AM CST up reply actions

I predict a Bears win

… but not after I scream at the TV following Martz’s questionable play calls, and Lovie’s predictable defense, which leads me to hooking an IV of vodka to each arm, because beer isn’t getting it done. After that, my wife will ask me why I put myself through such punishment, because after 22 years of marriage, she still doesn’t (completely) get it…

At the end of the day, Bears win, and I don’t make everyone in the house miserable.

intravenous vodka, how does that work?

by stepeo on Nov 13, 2011 2:12 AM CST up reply actions

That was the original IV

back when they used to disinfect wounds with alcohol. Someone figured out that if you send the vodka directly into your bloodstream it works a lot better.

Here's a little joke, you may have heard it.

So in the early 90’s, there was this Bosnian kid fighting in his country’s civil conflicts (may all victims rest in peace). This kid could REALLY hurl a grenade— we are talking 80-90 yards—he is taking out enemy soldiers left and right. The NFL hears about the kid’s arm and, being the opportunistic league that it is, teams start to vie for a chance to sign him.

Lo’ and behold, the Lions fly to Bosnia, pick the kid up, and bring him to America to play QB for the Lions. Turns out, he can throw a football pretty well too, and after teaching him English, he leads the Lions to a Super Bowl!

He phones his mother and says (in Serbian), “Mom, we won the Super Bowl and I am a huge star. Isn’t this magnificent?” His mother replies, "YOU IDIOT! I will never forgive you. Your younger brother got shot yesterday, and our car got stolen. Your sister fears for her life. We can’t even walk outside our house; we live in constant fear while you are off playing games………….

WHY DID YOU EVER MOVE US TO DETROIT???"
