Winnable game. Mack banged up but probably plays. If Bears offense has success than thats a big problem

We won there last year. Our last win in fact

 

[biggunsbob]

Agree winnable game unless Fields goes off. But with our luck we lose 10-7.

I wouldn?t say it?s a big problem. I really expect all offenses to have success because we have 1 million undrafted rookies as our cb group. That?s a tough ask for any roster.

 

[grandy]

Feels like a trap game for hopeful Lions fans. Nagy is on the hot seat and he'll be crucified if they lose this week (if not outright fired).

Think either the Lions win some weird low-scoring incompetence fest 16-13 or Nagy "figures it out" and the Bears win 35-17.

 

[detroit1811]

This is a very young team brimming with confidence in what should of been a win against one of the better teams in the league. Fields confidence has to be shaken and with their OLine struggling and our DLine heating up I honestly see a game we win by multiple scores.

Lions 27 - Bears 13

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Fields can have decent accuracy downfield and our secondary blows coverages like it?s their job. On the road on crappy soldier field, lions win 16-13

 

[tigermud]

Shockingly I?m actually feeling like the Lions will win today, I?m hoping Campbell learned his lesson last week and we?ll never see that pussy foot safe play not to lose shit ever again!

Lions 23 Bears 17

Can?t lose em all

 

[tomdalton22]

Lions 17
Bears 13

 

[boogerlovejoy]

We make Fields look like he?s playing at Ohio State.

Bears - 26
Lions - 24

Fields goes 16-23 - 215 yards - 2 TD passing
Rushes for 75 yards and a score.

 

[grandy]

Im surprised opposing teams don?t throw it downfield every single play, these DBs have no clue who they?re covering.

 

[mhughes0021]

Justin fields looks just fine against this shit defense. Good thing we picked 2 shitty dts so we can stop the run and create pressure!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Price playing zone. Supposed to be playing man.

Lol

7-0

They have more yards than all last week.

 

[tigermud]

Terrible

 

[mhughes0021]

Why are our lbs always trying to make a tackle in the end zone after they crossed the goal line? Good job shitty anzalone.

 

[gotime909]

Through the Millen years and Quintricia years I've never felt worse about the Lions than I do right now.

 

[grandy]

Oh boy

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Wow. After a timeout.

That?s fuckin pathetic.

Seemed like Ragnow. Nobody else was moving at the snap.

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Jared goof strikes again.
