Bears have a solid secondary but are weak up front. I say we run for 200 plus unless they play an 8 man box?..in which case Goff has a field day and JMO has his breakout game.

Lions will have to find an answer for Fields scrambling?.which likely means a lot of zone D?..which we suck at. But Fields can?t read it or throw it like Herbert. Fields gets his 100 yards rushing but has 2-3 turnovers.

Lions 42-21

Think it will be closer than people think

Fields improved some as a passer but unknown coming off the injury

Lions better bring their run defense as the Bears can run with any of their RBs and Fields. And Herbert is back. Buggs out doesn't help with the NT depth. Bohanna off the PS as they don't trust Martin yet but lots of Benito to clog things up.

Bears run defense has actually been pretty good this year so Lions will have a challenge here

Bears secondary is talented just inexperienced. Lions Oline will need another big game in pass pro so Goff can carve them up

12 wins the division. 5-2 Vikings finish for 11-6. Lions need to take care of business and get one step closer and also keep that number 1 seed in site. Philly at KC so Lions could get back to same record as Eagles

Can't lose any home games. Hopefully we see the good version of our defense today or at least a decent version of our defense and the offense can put up 30+ points. Maybe something like the Carolina game.....get the lead early and never give it back.

 

[biggunsbob]

Qb run for 11 yards :/

 

[biggunsbob]

Just not sure with a defense like ours why not take the ball ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Defense getting carved up.

 

[mhughes0021]

Defense is garbage... weird.

 

[gotime909]

Good to see Glenn has the defense ready again

 

[mhughes0021]

Pray for mistakes from the bears.

 

[gotime909]

Hutch just got embarrassed

 

[gotime909]

Gonna need some turnovers today

 

[mhughes0021]

Hutch just got embarrassed

By a wr...

 

[biggunsbob]

The whole defense is a shit she right now.

 

[gotime909]

Harris still being on this team is criminal

 

[boogerlovejoy]

What a BS call. Wembenyama couldn?t have caught that.

 

[biggunsbob]

That was embarrassing. Nice work Glenn l

 

[UMRules06]

So is that now 6 straight TD drives allowed by our vaunted defense?

 

[mhughes0021]

What's the excuse for AG going to be this week?
