Lions @ Bears

[KingJD31]

dont jinx it........

[chantrain]

looks like the lions are trying to dink and dunk us to death

[loopydude11]

Calvin johnson.. every play

Between fumbles and not having a running game, that's just not a formula for success here.

[d2bets]

Holy crap the punter tackled Hester. Ankle can't be quite right.

[chantrain]

Briggs injured?

[Matt1144]

Not going to jump to conclusions yet but good start for Bears backers

[d2bets]

Calvin johnson.. every play

Yeah, but it's all short. If you wanna beat this Bears defense you've got to get big plays downfield. They just tackle too well, and take the ball away too much. And then they'll pressure the QB and get a big loss. Can't dink and dunk the Bears.

[chantrain]

Lions are a second half team, I don't care if Bears are up by 30 at the half...game still isn't a sure thing

[d2bets]

Briggs injured?

That would be a very bad thing.

yea i wasnt actually making an observation, more of making a suggestion to the lions. Johnson beat the bears deep last time they played so why not go for it again?

[chantrain]

Martz' play calling is so predictable, hate that fool

[d2bets]

Mr. 3rd down Earl Bennett. What a difference this guy makes.

[d2bets]

It's like Cutler will never throw to anyone other than Bennett on 3rd.

[chantrain]

Earl Bennett is money

[d2bets]

And now a strike to Knox. Cutler is throwing darts today.

[d2bets]

Oh come on that's a catch!

[d2bets]

Not a lot of yards at stake, but Bennett made that beautifully. Clearly a catch. Bennett has the best hands in football.

[thirtytwo]

so much for gusty wind reports, QBs nailing everything

[d2bets]

These buffoon announcers somehow think it will stand. What a bunch of douches.

[sportfan]

Da bears baby

[d2bets]

That's why you don't throw the ball to Roy Williams.

[d2bets]

Mr. Automatic Gould makes it 13-0

Every "second half team" eventually falls on their face when facing quality opponents when we're talking about it in terms of when the team scores their points. A team whose defense really locks down in the second half is a different story. The Bears have that lockdown defense. The only concern as a Bears backer is that when it comes time to run clock, the Lions seem to be very well prepared to smother the Chicago ground game. They should bring in Barber for some carries in the 2Q to start softening the Lions defensive line with that big frame, and thereby save wear & tear on Forte, saving him more for the second half.

[chantrain]

Theres no chemistry yet between Roy and Jay, and it shows

[chantrain]

Hester returns for a touchdown! DEVIN HESTER YOU ARE RIDICULOUS!

[d2bets]

Mr. Ridiculous strikes again!

[chantrain]

I thought he had an ankle injury, what happened to that? rofl

[thirtytwo]

there goes the Under... stupid detroit shitbags play like they never heard about Devin Hester before...

[Matt1144]

Devin Hester YOU ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!

GO BEARS

[sportfan]

Hester

[KingJD31]

i got the bears straight up on 1 bet but i have the under on a seperate parlay ill break even

[chantrain]

Stafford running for his life all game, that's what I love to see

payback is a bitch

[chantrain]

Martz calls a run play every single 1st down, that man is downright retarded

[chantrain]

Bears losing their momentum due to dumb playcalling by Mike "I'm a goddamn moron" Martz
