Trap game never...the Lions are not as sorry as people think, they are the best 48 minute team in the game, and then give it to you in the last 12.
If they could finish a game strong, they would have to be dealt with.

Hate to say it, but most Lovie Smith team play at the opponents level...you are always in the game, that mess has given me gray hairs over the years.

The score will be close, but they too will kick a lot of field goals...I hope...lol

BGD: I don't think you have to worry about this game......since Stafford went down, the Lions have been mailing it in, looking for another high draft pick next year.....there is serious concern over Stafford's durability and drafting another QB is being debated in Detroit.....

Oh if we could. Brainrants. If Detroit keeps getting the high picks for another 2 years I see playoffs in 3 or 4 for them as a wildcard. If and this is a big on Stafford can keep healthy. Realisticly they need an OL, and about 4 players of so on their D. The Bears should win but the Lions will make a game of it. I say 24-17 Chicago wins.

Belive it or not I always fear playing the Lions at Detroit. It's usually a game we should win but has the possiblilty of defeat for the Bears all over it. This one is no different. It all depends on our OL vs Detroit's DL which is much improved. If the Bears loose disaster is in the air that's for sure.

We're in a dog fight for the NFCN - a wildcard isn't likely with our poor record in the conference. Put it this way, if we lose to Detroit it's all over. Stick a fork in the Bears. We have improved considerably since beating the Lions in Chicago, they haven't. Bears to roll over the kitties.

I tried to post this on the times net but it didn't like me and wouldn't let me write there. An article was talking about how good our assistant coaches are. I agree whole heartedly but I've also noticed something else. Lovie has several times changed his mind on certain things (From this year compared to others.) that I'm sure he is being influenced by our new asstistants. As long as we can keep them, (And they are doing a good job in not letting Lovie mess things up.) I'm inclined to keep Lovie since if he goes so do all these other men. However if they are hired away from the Bears, I say bye bye Lovie. Opinions???

I hope this "dogfight" lasts untill the last game, so the Packers decides it. I hated it when Lovie "threw" the last game a couple of years ago. I know he was protecting against injuries but I think the players got rusty a little bit and might have been more efficient against the Colts in the Super Bowl if they had had the extra work.

I fear all division games, these are the teams who have the most tape on you, this is where grudges are started etc,...

I do not think that they are as talented as the Bears are, but that does not guarantee victory.
What scares me is injury, we got five or six players that if they go down, we got a major hole at that position going down the stretch in these crucial games, ones that will determine playoff spots, and home field...

I am not confident in a Bears playoff run run yet, I would be more confident if they had home field advantage, but that have to keep winning to get that, and they might have a chance, but first is the Lions and their front four, and those four come to play, as everybody knows now.

He didn't "Throw it", he just kept his starters out. This was the year of the Super Bowl and I know what he did. So do others.

So what do you call it when he kept all his healthy key starters out? He might not of actually thrown it but it's close enough in my book. And yes I know and remember it. And so do others it was the year of the Super Bowl against the Packers. Remember now? Anyone else???

At least we have the home field against the Pats and Jets. I don't think the Packers would let us have another one in Chicago since we've already played one here but if we meet in the playoffs and have a better record than them we could meet in Chicago then!!! It amazes me that people resort to profanity and insulting people so easily. Sad.

I don't see this game as a tuneup game but it very well could be a trap game, Detroit is a capable team that if underestimated by Chicago, could realistically win this one.

Someone I just read asked if we see the Lions scoring more than 10 points on the Bears defense and the Bears O scoring 14 points on the Lions. Hmm. Lions are starting a 3rd string Qb and multiple other injuries. The Bears are starting Roach at LB. I see the Bears scoring 24 points or more and the Lions scoring 10 points or less. The know how much they need this game with 3 possible losses in the next 4 games coming up.

Bump the Spammers down...

We'll be alright.

Trap it was and the Lions almost won it too. We have a very effective ball control offense. Something Martz has NEVER been known for. If the Lions played like this every week they would have won twice as many games this season. If we can go .500, 50% or 2-2 we should be in the playoffs with an 11-5 record. Especially if we beat Green Bay in the last game. I think we have a better chance of beating the Jets than NE. Elite QB's are just harder to beat in my opinion.
