Sure would be nice to come out and throttle a team.

they should win by 10. The Bears are shitty.

Should beat them but the Bears play tough at home. Division game....won't be a cakewalk.
TJ Lang was on 97.1 yesterday and everyone in the studio took the Bears except for Sully lol. Don't know if it was a motivation thing or what but I couldn't believe it.

The ONLY way the Bears win this game is if J Howard goes off for 150+ yards and 2 TDs and Stafford turning it over 2 or more times. I don't see either of those happening.

Lions 24
Bears 13

Just get a win. If we take care of the football that should happen. I do think it will be a one possession game though. 23-17. Bears have played everyone tough at home except the Pack last week. I said this last week and it didn't happen...when you play a bad team you need to jump out to a lead and got on them early...crush their spirit.

 

[mhughes0021]

White, Meredith, Miller all on ir for their offense. Theyre terrible. Willie young on their D.

True win chicago.

True win chicago.

Were missing Ansah who's been stellar this year, so no true wins for opposing teams until him and the entire practice squad is 100% healthy.

 

[LKP]

Ansah, ngata, hyder. All good

White sucks. Miller and Meredith are sokid. Young solid

Bears have the injury advantage due to ansah and ngata

 

[biggunsbob]

Get us A Win Matt !!!!!

 

[grandy]

Can Abdullah rush for 100 yards already so we can stop hearing about how long it's been since the Lions last had a 100 yard rusher?

 

[brewer229]

Good opportunity to out together a complete 4 quarter game. Thankfully we should be able to win with our normal 2 good quarters.

[mhughes0021]

Defense sucks

 

[kdp1980]

Defense sucks

[kdp1980]

Vikings down a touchdown early

 

[grandy]

Bad first drive for the D, good thing they escaped with only giving up 3 points
