1) Lions are not the 2nd best team in the NFL. They are a very good team that got a little lucky in a couple games. 2) They also didn't beat the shit out of the Bears. The Bears beat themselves. a) Lovies is fucking stupid and should have taken the easy three in the first qtr. After all its not like that drive demonstrated in any way the o-line was capable of allowign Forte to get the 1st down. b) The o-line is the primary reason the Bears have sucked for so many years now. That game was proof positive once again. 9 fucking false starts... ugh. c) The o-line's complete waste of space also took the far better Bear defense (far better than the lion's d) and completely tire them out to the point they simply couldn't do much against Lions o-line and secondary. d) Bear's shoudl have won that game and hopefully after this season we'll ditch Martz and focus the draft on an o-line above anything else. Additionally, I'm starting a petition to fucking pay Forte what he's worth... our entire damn team. 3) 49ers are going to trounce the lions... as will the eventual Packers who are clearly the best team in the NFL right now as much as it physically kills me to say it. Lions will lose both games to them by a lot. |
And here they come like clockwork.
1) they have the second best record in Football, so yes they are.
2) Of course it was the Bears that lost and not the Lions that won, no one can beat the Bears but themselves right. They are way too good for that.
a) Those 3 points wouldnt have changed the outcome of the game, but I agree Lovie was an idoit and the Lions stopped the Bears twice on 1 yard conversion opportunities
b) Your Offensive line is horrific, its why our defense was getting pressure with only 4 people and were in the backfeild almost every play. The Bears suck I agree. But the false starts had alot to do with the crowd noise as well.
c) The Bears defense was only on the feild for around 20 minutes, if you are getting tired after that then its time to hang it up. LOL at the Bears defense being far better than the Lions, arent the Bears ranked 31st in total defense?
d) The Bears didnt have a chance at winning that game as they have far less talent then the Lions do. The problem isnt your offensive coordinator, it the lack of key players for that style of offense. Youhad to take a great KR and turn him into a mediorce WR just to get a threat on the feild. And Forte is going to be a Bear for awhile, the Bears will probably Franchise tag him next year. And then sign him to a long term deal.
3) We will see, the 49ers are a team thats very similar to the Lions, have had a lot of issues in the recent past and have had terrible teams not even worthy of watching. Its funny that you would instantly claim that they will trounce the Lions though, cause its not like they have given any reasons to be any better a team than the Lions this year. But thats spoken like a true Bears fan. And I know the Packers are the best team in football, but I expect them to do what they did last year with them, and thats split the 2 games.
