Game -9 Detroit @ Chicago 4:15 Nov-13

OK that pass by Stafford was way off. And then Hester houses it

not looking pretty here

Stafford is lousy under pressure, and Backus has always played his worst games at Chicago. The Lions seem confused at the Bears zones too.

If the Bears score on the next drive I'm done watching.

Brutal. What else is there to say?

It just wasn’t the two passes that were intercepted and returned for touchdowns. Or the four interceptions overall. It was the missed throws. Especially in the scoring zone. Worse than any individual plays, Stafford lost his poise
If Stafford doesn’t play much better, the Lions have no chance of making the playoffs. He is their most important element. He let them down mightily Sunday.

I think this one is not going to be pretty for the Lions. Hope I am wrong but I've got the Bears 30-10 and a real rough night for Stafford.

Wow!....Great prediction Icness.

Stafford was awful, but I guess he was playing with a broken finger, so he gets a slight pass. Recievers were horrible, dropping passes and fumbling. Matt clearly was on a different page with these guys today; whose fault that is I do not know

Defense wasn't bad considering. Special Teams coverage was laughable

We also got outcoached badly again. Considering we came in off a bye week and the Bears played Monday night, totally inexcusable.

The lions should have run 80 % of the time and made only very short passed the wind was too much,chicago knew it and ran.detroit passed and was easy INTs thats a offensive coach mistake.

That is what I was looking forward to. Us having 2 weeks to prepare, and them having a short week.

Watching the game, however, you would have thought they were coming off the bye and we had the short week, very disappointing.

It looked like we totally lost all passion/fight after the Burleson fumble, the 2nd giveaway in as many possessions.

I hope this game serves as a kick to the teams collective mouth and gets us going again. I'm hoping the loss was a good thing for our guys to experience.

This game was very simple and Chicago knew it just had to run the ball and let the other team be foolish and throw into the wind ,and i doesn't matter with the wind or against it you under thow or over throw ends up into INT's .
lions were out coached and i blame them 100% for their passing game plan.it did them in.

Chicago knew it was not a passing day Detroit could not figure that out (high school). Lions should have RUN the Ball all day long we were gretting 4.5 ypc.they could hve won this game.
