The Bears DO have an awful secondary. Probably the worst in the league.
Which naturally means the Lions run the ball and then Stafford completely misses a wide open Calvin Johnson.
November 27th, 2014 at 12:44 PM ^
Yes, you can't ever underestimate the ability of this Lions team to find a way to lose 13-9 or something.

I would like to point out that the kid who sang the national anthem....that was rather impressive indeed. Well done.
...and just like that, two runs and a pass that don't go much of anywhere and we're punting. Hopefully, this isn't the trimmed down playbook.

and a bad throw by Stafford. As a result Bears get field position.
The Lions are going to lose this game.

This team is collapsing AGAIN.

Every year I try to convince myself that THIS will be the year when the Lions don't collapse in the second half of the season. I admire those of you who watch with no hope anymore. You are the lucky ones. December will be torture.

The ability to play so terribly with so much talent was pioneered by Detroit and apparently has rubbed off on UM this year... ugh
November 27th, 2014 at 12:50 PM ^
Fun fact!
I was at the infamous 1980 Thanksgiving game when the Lions snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as only the Lions can. Up 17-3 with less than five minutes to go, with a 4th and inches from the Bears 40, with Billy Sims (a healthy, rookie Billy Sims I might add) in the backfield - the Lions punted and then never saw the ball again. Long drive TD Bears. Onside kick, recovered TD Bears. And then the Bears return the kickoff in OT for a TD.
Good times.

that is Jim Caldwell this was going to happen. The guy is a terrible head coach. If not for Peyton Manning he would never have had a good record as a coach. He sucked at Wake Forest and he sucks here in Detroit.

Over/under 1.5 touchdowns for the Lions in this game?
November 27th, 2014 at 1:04 PM ^
of what used to be a good offense. Both should be fired for this. Caldwell was brought in to make the offense better, but instead has made it worse. There is no reason for this.
November 27th, 2014 at 1:07 PM ^
Caldwell was the OC for the Ravens ast year, which IIRC was 29th in scoring offense. The Lions are now 28th in scoring offense. Caldwell has a long, tired history of a being a terrible coach everywhere (when he does not have de facto OC Peyton Manning). Just a boneheaded hire by the Lions from the beginning.
November 27th, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
Schwartz and the record will show that at the end of the year.

The guard has to block his guy. He didn't and that resulted.

If you look up the definition of dumpster fire, you will find the 2014 Detroit Lions offense.

This is the beginning of the end for Mayhew. His latest hire is another debacle. Time for a change.
November 27th, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
Took a chance starting him, and it's paying off!
November 27th, 2014 at 1:14 PM ^
Kidding.
The Lions need an enema. That means a flushing of Mayhew and everyone associated with him.

The staff switching blocking schemes and injuries have hurt this unit badly.

My guess is OL injuries and an OC that is wayyy too conservative. This offense used to be so dynamic, and part of that was because the OL was solid. Not so much this year. We're Jared Allen's b*tch right now....

So will this drive stall now or closer to the goal line?
Holy shit - an actual TD.
