I can't believe this is still a two possession game. I mean, the Lions haven't shown anything to suggest that even one possession would be doable, but still. How is it only 0-13?

If Detroit pulls this game out, Chicago will have no one to blame but themselves.

When did the Lions sign Tacopants? Stafford has airmailed a bunch of open guys.

I guess its not that hard to score two touchdowns in eight minutes... Scratch that, it's the Bears defense... Well, crap.

Incomplete pass hit the ground. Terrible throw forcing it downfield though.

Well....ESPN has its Sportscenter opener with that shot of Staffords turfclogged facemask.

Wow. 0-3 in the red zone will not get it done. Especially when you have first and goal twice and get nothing. Credit the Bears D but a lot of stupid mistakes by the Lions as well.

What is the nickname of the bears #33? Does anyone know?
October 22nd, 2012 at 11:51 PM ^
Peanut...don't ask me why.

He's little! But feisty.

He's actually 6 feet, so he's not exactly Boubacar Cissoko out there.
Bears fan speaking: I'm about as big of a Charles Tillman fan as you will find (I rarely see other people wear his jersey to games) and he played a very good game, but some of the hype from the announcers and ESPN was way over the top. He's never been a burner; his claim to fame is that he is really physical and is incredible at stripping the ball (like during his rookie year on Randy Moss in the endzone or during the Cardinals RB in the epic Dennis Green "they are who we thought they are" game). Without safety help over the top for most non-red zone plays, he could not have played Megatron like that. So Tillman played a very good game, but ESPN pretends as if he set up Peanut Island all year.

It's not over yet!! Still got some life!!

Lions special teams coach Danny Crossman has a deer in the headlights look to him.

That was painful..that was like watching Michigan Notre Dame again..just ugly
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:10 AM ^
I had that same exact thought. It was a winnable game that you never really felt like they were in.

Clicked on this the morning after the game. This thread is like "This Week in Schadenfreude: NFL Edition" and I'm a Lions fan.
