I expect the Bears to barely beat the Lions this Monday night. Why? Because this past week they barely beat a team that wears the same colors as the Lions and also has cats on their helmets.


Well I actually expect the Lions to torch the Bears this monday,  after Suh or Vanden Bosch knocks Cutler out of the game early on.  


I love it when Lions fans get cocky and brash after a good start.  I remember hearing how great they are when they started the season 6-2 in 2007. 

I honestly think that the game is going to be close and could go either way (not a blowout like you are saying).  If I were a betting man, I'd bet on the Bears.  Why?  The Lions definitely are due to lose.  To be honest, they only won their last two games because of an epic collapse by their opponents.  They really should be 2-2.  This isn't to take anything away from them though.  They continued to play hard and pulled it out while the other team fell apart.  But let's put it this way, if they fall behind by 20 points against the Bears don't expect them to come back and win.

The Lions best strategy would be stopping the run.  Then they can blitz the crap out of Cutler.  I hope that they try things your way though, and Forte runs for 205 yards again. :p  Don't worry about Cutler though, his recievers drop all of his passes and he can't block for himself when he drops back to pass.

 

The lions wernt great in 2007,  they didnt have all the peices they have now.  

For one,  the Lions beat those teams because they capitlized on their screwups, even a bad team will lose if the other team "colapses" as you say.  Not to mention that you give no credit to the Lions possibly having a part in those colapses.   

As for stopping the run, the Lions held the best running back in football to under 80 yards,  Forte rushed for 200 against one of the worst defenses in football.
