31-16, only one TD for Lions

I think we have the luxury of a couple of weak opponents in the next few games, plus the mini bi- week to have him heal. Obviously it would have better for him to play to grow more, but I think it will all turn out okay. I think playing Daniel is a lift so we do not have a typical letdown after a big game last week. They all rally behind Chase and not relax.

Actually you need to pat yourself on the back every time you get the chance. We will go need and BPA at the time. I see no way they see that as a priority in the 3rd round, but can see one getting drafted. Cohen was drafted in the 4th round. Howard was a 5th round pick that the Bears got good value at. Nall was a PFA. Will not be our 3rd round pick.

I totally agree with Hub, now Nagy is pushing to our backs are against the wall narrative and the team rallies behind Chase. I think the offense expands not retracts. Detroit is preparing for MT and this gets thrown in their face, I think it makes a lot of sense to think it prevents a letdown.

I think normally there might have been a let down after a big win against Minny but now that MT is down, I think the team rallies around Chase and kick some ass.

Actually I think this ends up being a blowout for us, Chase knows the system better and Nagy opens it up and goes nuts on Lions.

If he is electric, I doubt he lasts until the end of the 3rd round. I also think RB is not listed that high on our priority list.

K. Johnson and Marvin Jones will both not play Thursday. Our karma just keeps getting better as we move forward.

We have to keep reminding ourselves that MT is a QB that we are developing and will not be a year before we see limited mistakes from him. Watson was 16/24 208 1td and 2 ints. Watson has settled down to a regular QB since his last year success. Pat Maholmes is having a very successful year but I think next year is the time we can honestly compare MT to these two. The arrow is pointing up with MT, shows wow plays once in a while and shows whoa plays sometimes. All of these works because we have the best defense in the league. If the season stopped now , how many pro bowl players do we have? Mack--no brainier Hicks-- I think he makes it easily Callahan-- if he stays healthy I think he makes it. Held Theilien to one catch in the first half. Then Minny moved him around out of the slot. Jackson-- he keeps having pick 6s this turns into a no brainier. Fuller--he leads the league in PDs and is second with 4 int., all stats that suggest he goes. With us spreading the ball all around I do not see anyone with strong enough stats to make it. Maybe Whitehair? time will tell

I had 24-20 so it was close, but none of all of this matters, we won, I dont care if its pretty, lucky, or a bad win, a win is a win, we did enough to be in first place. This was a very good team, taking away Cook was huge , it made Cousins be relied on to much and forced him into mistakes. The first half, diggs and Thielien had 2 receptions. We can beat anyone with this defense. I think the Detroit game could be a trap game, hopefully it turns out well. If we beat D and NY then its prime time with Rams with a 9-3 record, I think the Rams lose to KC, so one game apart and we get to play them at home, all looking like good timing.

I can not remember was their anybody on here that complained that the 2 first round picks we gave for Mack was to much? Just asking for a friend.

pretty

I would love to watch a blowout but that wont happen in this game, a close game is in the forecast.

It may take him a couple of weeks to get up to speed but should always be a red zone threat.

I do not know why but I live and die with the Bears, if they win, I happy happy all day, if they lose I become moody. The only franchise that has that affect on me. So you understand I have been on depression medicine for a very long time.

I think we win something like 24-20 with a late defensive interception to cap the win.

We have a long way to go but things seem to be lining up for us to win the division or at least make the playoffs. In 7 games we only have to go 4-3 to be 10-6 and that seems very doable. I think we surprise one of the Vikings game or LA game and pull an upset, preferable this week , but I think also we have a bad game and someone beats us we should have won. Detroit or maybe NY Gaints to keep us grounded to realize next year is the year we turn into the Rams or KC, this year is just a bonus.

I think installing the new offense is more about boasting the passing game than pushing the running game and it sometimes gets lost in transition Short passes replaces a lot of running plays. Howard has a role it just isnt the focus. I also think the lack of a FB and inline TE blocking has contributed to an efficient effective running game. The fact is we are scoring at a much better rate than the last two years when Howard was more the focal point . I think once the offense is up to speed we will see more efficient running plays. Nagy is learning his job as well as MT is learning his job. I think Sheenan getting up to speed will help. Most games the offense is going well but there will be a time when we will need Howard. We are on here complaining about we dont run the ball well, yet we are 5th in the league in scoring and have a more diverse set of weapons. I think it has been so long that we have seen a good team we dont know how to act. One thing is this is the first time I have seen us develop a QB and we lack the patience for MT to have his good games and also his bad games. Barring a turn on the health of the team, the offense has a boner and it doesnt have to take Viagra, win win.

The problem is, what is better out there? You want Carlos Santos or Bair Walsh?

He is going to have good and bad games, by the end of the season we need to see few mistakes to have this follow his development. That should put us in the playoffs.

he aint going anywhere so we can just hope he gets his shit together. These are not perfect games but other than Parkey, its hard to complain about anybody. A good game from Floyd today. 3 hits, 1 sack and played the run well. I think this is the best game MT played this year, not the 6 TDs but seemed more accurate to me today. STUDS: Mack, Hicks, Callahan (5 ts, 1 sack, 1 Int, 1 tfl, one QB hit)Smith (10 ts, 1 sack, 1 tfl, 1 pd), Robinson(6-133-2) Miller (5-122-1)

I was one of the people complaining about not resigning Cam but Pace was right not to. He has missed several games because of injuries and now goes on IR. Pace has made a lot of mistakes along the way, but has also did some good things, he made the right call on this player.

I agree the second Det game will be our downfall.

Its going to be something like 30-19. They hang around but the defense takes over the game in the second half.
