I don't wnat to stop talking about this....is there anyone that can make an excuse that it's worse to take the 99% guaranteed 3 points to give you a 2 point lead, than try a 75% chance (less for the bears of the last 2 years) of taking a 6 point lead, and risk still trailing with 8 minutes left in the game? That was the dumbest call in NFL history. It replaces Lovie's TO with 3 seconds left in a tie playoff game as his dumbest move.
Yeah. Even if the Bears win, they haven't made me feel confident about them going forward. I agree...but we've seen really good teams randomly struggle against the Lions the last 2 years. We have almost 4 times as many total yards as them...we are losing to them in stupid turnovers and drives stalling within 5 yards of FG range.
64 yards, DET 2, FG
67 yards, DET 8, Fumble
39 yards, DET 30, Fumble
79 yards, End Zone, TD
24 yards, DET 13, FG
23 yards, DET 41, Punt
24 yards, DET 38, Punt
Thats 5 drives where we've gone more than 40 yards, and we have 10 points to show for it. Also, we've had the ball in Lions territory 6 times this game and have 6 points to show for it. Absolutely unreal.
