The division leading Lions vs Bears 12/11 noon

[jersey cubs fan]

Bears are 8 point dogs. They stinks. But Detroit is Detroit.

 

 

Detroit is winning this division by default thanks to a 4 game win streak bringing them to 8-4 and a very blah +- of +24 points. Detroit isn't actually good, but they are good at home. The Bears actually managed to beat Detroit at home, which has been rare in recent years. They beat San Fran last week but really haven't damaged their draft position yet, as the 49ers are garbage and were probably destined to pick ahead of the Bears anyway. Detroit can't just skate into the division, and the Bears can't just skate into a top pick. Detroit should win, and my guess is they do so by less than 8. However, a Bears win here would not surprise me.

You fire Fox now, you can't let Fangio get away.

Fire everyone, hire Sulley

You certainly can. I like Fangio, but unless you want him running the whole show he's still less important than whoever that is.

The Bears held Stafford to the 2nd fewest yards, 3rd lowest completion percentage, and only multi-INT game. The Bears actually have shown a pass rush at times, especially with a healthy Goldman, McPhee and Floyd.

 

I actually think this is a good matchup for the Bears D. If they pressure Stafford, they'll have a good shot. RB out of the backfield in the pass game is going to kill them without their 2 great coverage LBs. But I like their ability to tackle if Stafford can't get the ball down the field due to pressure.

I'd love to see Barkley put up 300/3/1 on them

I'm cool with him running the whole show.

Still fun.

I would be okay with a meaningless Bears win.

It's a no-lose situation. Fun to win, okay with losing for the draft position.

[d_money]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Or something like that.

[WrigleyField 22]

Well that was pathetic Timu.

[UMFan83]

Ohh man what a way to lose a game.

[USSoccer]

Josh Bellamy has worse hands than JPP

[UMFan83]

That is the 5th loss this year where the Bears had the ball in opponents territory in a 6 or less point game with under 2 mins left

Matt Barkley is......not horrible?

[Derwood]

1 page game thread? ROFL

Matt Barkley is......not horrible?

Hes more than I expected, which is to say, still worthy of being a backup in this league.

 

Hope they have a real plan for a starter if its not Jay next year. This D is good enough for us to win some games.
