Lions vs. Bears - Game Day Thread

Did we just run for the 1st down?!

Love how Bell runs down hill

Also got rid of the wife and kids so the likelihood of a suspension for another unsportsmanlike viewing penalty is pretty low.

2 poor throws by Stafford to start the game. Hopefully he has that out of his system and gets going here.

 

[Wazmankg]

Staff misses twice. Not a good start.

Went with the CJ home jersey today. First time this season. We'll see how it pays off.

Went with the Stafford whites for the first time this year. After that series might have to go change back to my Suh blues.

Willie

I expect better of Stafford who despite big stats I have not been impressed with this season.

Watched PettingZoo on that 3rd down who looked like the first option. Are his shoes made of lead? Cuts curious cause he looked like he was walking in one of those old time diver suits. Why do we even have him in the line up?

 

[broncosmitty]

I was scared of Bennett today.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Great start. Staff misses a couple throws and bennett wide open down the middle.

They are at home. Gotta go with blue bro. Change that sucker. Bears are in white today.

Nice stick by Levy, way to step into the hole.

 

[Kreton]

Decent stop after the big play.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Good job. Hold them to a FG att.......

 

[tpaulus_2]

Nice defensive stand after a big play.

Levy made a helluva hit on Forte there... nice to see...

 

[Cleaves2000]

I hate when my teams get the ball first. Neither the lions or sparty can ever drive on the opening drive....end up losing the field position game early.

 

[broncosmitty]

You had to be happy your Sparties didn't lose yesterday.

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

I had too much coffee this morning. Between that and the game I've got the jiffs.

It might also be the detox tremors though.

Agreed. Notice how Chicago won the toss but elected to defer? Smart move, imo. I think it's always better to get the ball at the half after the halftime adjustments have been made...

i'm telling you -- i think it has something to do with the Lions special teams blocking. We never get a good return. Spurlock is a guy who has 2 return TDs last year, so obviously he has talent.

so far this year -- it seems like we start on the 16 or 17 yard line every time someone kicks off.
