Stafford tries to beat the Bears defense.

Watching Fat Stafford run is pure comedy.

watch the defense. its Big 12ish....

What happened to this Lions team? From what I've watched of them this year, they just look out of sorts. Calvin Johnson has been way down, and the defense is not very good. The secondary especially. Yikes.

I just think teams have figured them out. Plus, no running game to keep anybody off balance. And, yes, their pass d is a disaster. They look like the same old lions. Probably go 5-11 / 6-10...

That and Stafford has been off all year compounded by them dropping passes.

And what happened to the new concussion protocol there?

 

[dragurd]

And refs wonder why they lose control of games after allowing tat bullshit without a flag.

 

[OHSportsFan]

You know what would be a smart thing to do?

Extend the ball unprotected, while leaping in the air into the middle of a pile, 2 yards away from the goal line.

 

[Bucky32]

Do the Lions even want to win this game?

 

[dragurd]

Apparently the offense doesn't if they could just hold on to the football they'd be winning this

 

[NFBuck]

The Bears D is really good.

 

[Bucky32]

The Bears D is really good.

They are. But I tend to think their window is closing. Urlacher only has a few years left, and Peppers is right behind him. Maybe McClellin will take the mantle going forward, but I think their front office has prepared for a shift in identity by going out and getting Brandon Marshall and Michael Bush.

The Bears D is really good.

Not that good the Lions have pissed away scoring chance after scoring chance. Mostly on their own

The Bears' D has still only allowed two trips to the redzone. Have to give some credit to the Bears D for the turnovers, too.

 

[dragurd]

Not 2 there have been 4 now.
