Thread: Bears at Detroit, Monday. Will they win or lose...???

Im thinking 28-17 Lions. And im being nice with that pick. I just cant see the Bears moving the ball, I think something weirds gonna happen for the Bears to get points.

Both me and my Lions-lovin' relatives back in the Mitten have been silent with the trash talking the entire week leading up to this game, because it could go either way. I simply don't know and don't really feel too confident to declare our Bears walking away with a 'w' on this one.

I'm more focused on the Tigers than the Bears right now, anyway......

For the Bears to win:

The Bears O-line will need to control the Lions defensive line. Good luck. And, if Martz is calling those crazy, deep routes, Cutler will be in for a LONG day. And thankfully Barber is back, because Forte may take a beating in this game. THE ONLY (2) OFFENSIVE PLAYERS THAT SHOULD RETURN NEXT SEASON ARE CUTLER AND FORTE...!!!

Score first. If the Bears are playing catch-up, I do not see them winning. I do not think the Bears could accidentally find quick-strike scoring capabilities. They will have to get out in front, stay in front, and control the ball. SO MUCH FOR THAT...

Field position. If the Bears can manage good field position, they could actually win the game. However, if they are starting from their (20) all game, I do not see them finding the end-zone once. NICE RETURN TO THE (6) THERE DEVIN...!!! HE IS FOOTBALL STUPID JUST LIKE 98% OF THE OFFENSE.

Stupid crap. If the Bears begin to accumulate penalites. The game is over. More so if it is pointless personal foul garbage. WOW...!!! WHAT A WELL PREPARED TEAM...!!! NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY...!!!

And, the defense needs to actually show up on the FIRST drive of the game...LETS BE HONEST. IF STAFFORD WAS A LITTLE MORE ACCURATE ON THE FIRST DRIVE, THE LIONS WOULD HAVE SCORED...!!!

That is about it...

Also, our defense is going to need to step up. They have been letting opposing QBs pick them apart all year, and that has to stop. And, even with a lead, it will still come down to the final minutes of the game, since Detroit has a nasty ability to stage late game comebacks apparently.

Apparently neither the Lions OR the Bears were aware of this...
