In SF Bay Area, Fox decides Eagles-Skins is the "national" game I must watch.

Shit.

Levy is active. Over/under 8 plays he actually plays. I am taking under. Riddick is out.

Yeah, no Riddick sucks and means more targets for Ebron.....who should have a good game.

I'd take the over on 8. I think he plays around 15 snaps.

Zenner/Washington probably both get about 10 touches....we need to break a 30+ yard run today. Joique will get a couple touches, too.

Ansah needs a big day and we need to play with some fire...... come out flat today and let Chicago grab an early lead and we could be in trouble.

140 yards on the ground today for the Lions

Absolutely have to win this game today even with all of our injuries...no let down after last week. I'm guessing we see a tight game again today. 19-17 Lions.

I have that feeling too.....hopefully we play like we're desperate to win and not like we're afraid to lose.

After watching Caldwell for nearly 3 years.....we're likely to get the latter.

24-20 Lions

Why are they on cbs today and not fox?

Not sure, surprised me too.

I don't think it'll be a tight game. The defense is going to score today. 30-10, Lions

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Lions.. no heart attacks today. Please score early and often! !!!

 

[kdp1980]

Bears are getting beat up today, revenge time

 

[kdp1980]

Run that shit, 3rd and 2

 

[biggunsbob]

Can't take a sack Matt. Get rid ofnot damn it, blitz was right in your face.

Bunch of wimps..

 

[manchild98]

2 holding penalties and they still get the sack.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Terrible, heartless, lethargic start.

Typical Caldwell coached team.

 

[manchild98]

Wow, only his 2nd touchback on 47 punts this season.

 

[mhughes0021]

2 holding penalties and they still get the sack.

Cant get sacked out of fg range. ...ever.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Can't take a sack Matt. Get rid ofnot damn it, blitz was right in your face.

Wouldn't have mattered....they would have accepted one of those holding penalties.....we would have called a screen, gained 3 yards and punted anyway.

WR got owned at the line there.
