A good offense vs a good defense

A terrible offense vs one of the worst defenses

Should be an awful game, Bears probably win 16-13

I bet the Bears offense puts up 25+ points against these clowns. 27-13, Bears

I think the Bears are even worse than the Lions. Turdbisky is TERRIBLE. The Lions should win this game.

Trubisky will not be terrible vs the Lions. He might throw for 300 yards and rush for another 70. What makes you think even a bad qb can't have his way with this defense? Their defense is going to get after Stafford and we have absolute turds for runningbacks. We are the most one dimensional team in the NFL.....every fucking year

Here’s my lock of the week.

Sometime in the late 2nd or early 3rd quarter.....it will be mentioned that “this is Trubiskys best game of the year”.

It’s a given.

Trubisky goes 24-35 - 288 yards - 3 TD/0 INT

Bears win 28-24.

We have more talent than the Bears.....but it’s very evident we don’t put our talent in positions to win. They do.
 
The lions will give terrible Bears QB all day long to throw and he’ll have his best game of the year

Bears 27 Lions 23
 
They said that this back issue is from last year. I wonder why it hasn't healed yet. Is it something that surgery can correct?

They should sit him until it is 100% healed. If that means shutting him down for the rest of the year then do it. 3-12-1 might get you Chase Young
 
It?s Movie time ! Only reason to watch the Lions is Stafford. Dvr and get some things done ! I do like the thought of getting Chase Young though!
