CHICAGO BEARS!


THE ACTION GOES DOWN HERE:


IT WILL BE POPPIN'!

The FACES:
























Here's NLK's good luck charm for the BEARS winning Sunday:



Keys to a BEARS victory:
1.) Set the tone early. That means you Defense! You got the big bucks and here what you need to do: get after it, esp. on the run game & then QB on the pass.
2.) Offensively, O-Line in particular: block, block, & block! Forte all day baby!
3.) Last but not least, DO NOT GIVE UP THE BALL (I.E. INTs, Fumbles, etc.). Force the Lions into TOs, not vice versa.

GO BEARS! EAT THEM LIONS ALIVE!

It's already popping enough for me.

Bears 5721, Lions -5

[Chewie]

Let's see.....either the Lions have some pride and want some payback or they roll over and play dead. No middle ground !

[emperorjones]

Bears 19 Lions 17.

Bears win it on a last second field goal.

So you're saying the BEARS do not cover the spread...

[emperorjones]

I never look at spreads. But I'm guessing that their are favored by more than 3? This feels like a total suckers game to me. I'm mostly worried because so many of our players didn't practice until yesterday.

[Posey H8er]

Yeah this is the type of game where you could see a letdown performance. Hopefully Lovie and the boys have been preaching about that this week.

[chitownsports4ever]

First time since the opening week that EVERYONE practiced on Thurs. We need to come out sharp and get it over with early .

Not to look ahead but the Titans may come to town undefeated the following week. .That game could add a million or two to Ortons contract

Lloyds back I wonder who the starters will be at WR ?

Do you give Vasher his job back ? I watched his show on CSN and two weeks in a row he said he was playing then didnt . I understand not wanting to give anything away but for some reason that had me pissed .he better bring it or Graham is gonna have his spot but even if he does how long to Graham has to get on the field at the expense of one brown,peanut or Vashers jobs ?

Payne and Vasher as the starting safeties next season ?


Bears over Lions 35-10 I was gonna say my boy Kyle goes for 300 yards but Im gonna say Forte runs for 100 and Kyle throws for 250+

[CBS7]

Orton 22/28 265 yards 2 TD.
Forte 22 for 115 1 TD.
Defense or Hester scores once.
Gould hits 3 FGs

37-16

[Chewie]

NLK, your game thread was worth the wait - good job.

[WEFFPIM]

If they lose...oh boy

[Ruben Douglas]

Whoever loses this game should fire their Head Coach.

[Chewie]

Wow, emperor the eternal optimist is calling it a close game so something's seriously wrong.

I'd like to apologize now for foolishly setting up my eldest son's tennis lessons for 1pm on Sunday for the next ten weeks which means someone's going to need to step it up in my absence. I'll try to make up for it once I get back. Dumb dumb dumb.
