Week 12: Bears @ Lions Turkey Day on CBS at 11:30

[Derwood]

If Mitch is out and Daniel starts, what happens if he gets hurt?

 

Tyler Bray is on the practice squad. Keep an eye on the transaction wire. If they promote Bray to the 53, it means Mitch isn't playing. Of course, they could display some gamesmanship and not make any move until tomorrow morning.

 

You know who would look great in a Matt Nagy offense?

 

 

Colin Kaepernick

I've got Chase Daniel selected as my waiver wire pick up this week. I have a 3 game lead in my division with 3 games left, so why the hell not? Mahomes is on bye and Trubisky is likely to sit out. Should add some excitement to tomorrow's game for me. And that's my fantasy brag for the day.

I blame whoever posted that thing about Trubisky's consecutive start streak.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Hopefull the D punishes Stafford and Nagy utilizes a 2-back attack of Howard/Cohen to great effect. I really have zero faith in Daniels.

I can totally see Daniel having a solid game and then people saying Mitch is only good because of the system

there's a reason he's started 2 games in the last 8 years. I think your concern is safely not an issue.

Have you never met a Chicago Bears fan?

Seems like a risky pickup. I'm going for Baker Mayfield to cover my QB bye though, so what do I know?

well, that's certainly an optimistic view towards the Bears chances. Not sure that I agree.

Florio isn't very good at predicting outcomes of football games.

 

Isn't Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones sitting out this game, also? To me, Johnson and Jones sitting for the Lions is way worse than Daniel starting for the Lions. I get the home field advantage and all, and the slightly less rested Bears roster, but.....

People already say that.

well this is weirder than getting the SNF game ball

Reminder, he kicked a kick-off out of bounds this week.

Plus the Bears receivers, and Panthers receivers for that matter, were able to get wide open vs. the Lions. Don't see how that'll be any different for Daniels.

Lions also a mess health-wise

everything coming up Millhouse!

Lost in the injury news is that the Lions are very bad, and the Bears are very good.

 

Bears by 11.

Is it accurate to say teams have moved away from throwing the ball to the side of the field that Fuller' working? I maybe incorrect but, Sunday night Diggs did seem to be a factor until the Vikings moved him to Amukamara' late in the game. If teams are trying to stay away from Fuller, one would expect the Lions to try and lineup Golliday against Amukamara as much as possible. Given this, along with Golliday being the Lions only deep threat - Jones is out - do the Bears try to give Prince help?

I'm not sure its an issue for the Bears. If their pass rush is present, Prince will get all the help he needs. The Bears issues will be on offense, and whether or not the Special Teams Player of the Week can follow up is "stellar" performance.

 

man its weird Parkey won that. he just did his damn job

I'm thinking the Lions are going to attempt hurry-up and quick short passes to negate the pass rush.

but every team does that against us

Interestingly enough, a rested defense performs no better or worse then a tired defense - its field position that matters
