Lions come to play at home.

Fields has a 90 on the ground and 230 through the air but turns it over 2x

Lions offense rolls.

Jameson scores twice.

37-23 Lions

That would be something! Through 4 games he has only had 5 passes thrown his way. Maybe I'll put him in a DFS lineup as a flyer.

42 14 Lions over Bears

Bears wish they werent ever born to play football aftet this one

Kalif Raymond might be a sneaky play. I heard somewhere where he has a 60 catch and 600 receiving yards performance bonus in his contract.

I just don't see any reason to not get him more snaps. And if they do.....I don't see anyone on the Bears that can account for his speed.

That's more of a feeling than anything data based.

Sounds to me like they don?t plan to get him involved more until next year

Lions 44 bears 32

 

[gotime909]

Jacobs with a terrible hold to give them a first.

 

[mhughes0021]

We can't defend a pitch play

 

[gotime909]

This defense is just horrible. They don't do anything well

 

[tigermud]

Defense needs major improvements

 

[mhughes0021]

Nice job Rodrigo. Let someone carry you 9 yards. Then shitty will harris doesn't cover anyone.

 

[mhughes0021]

Just lose the last 2 games please... do us all a favor.

 

[gotime909]

This is gonna be a long afternoon.

 

[kdp1980]

Lions defer so they can start down 7 points. Why are we worried about who gets the ball at the half? Let them play from behind, not us. Campbell is doing this team a disservice by putting the horrible defense on the field first

 

[kdp1980]

This is gonna be a long afternoon.

I fully expect fields to torch us in every way

 

[gotime909]

Hopefully we can finally get the run game going today.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Last week they got absolutely smoked by motion and their man responsibilities. If they can?t get it?..just follow your man. Yes, you?re giving your coverage away?.but it?s better than not covering anyone.
