Tankathon watch, Panthers down by 2 TDs, Giants winning by 2 in the 3rd quarter.

Seriously, if the Bears lose this one, fire Flus into the sun.

Another INT!

Regardless of the outcome, Fields is looking great. 15-20, 162 yds, 1 TD, 115 QB Rating, 11-55 rushing. He is getting pressured a lot but has not taken a sack.

Why didn't they go for 2 and make it a 7 point game? Now a TD and XP wins.

Holy shit, huge TD, 1 to 2 for 6 baby! On a 2nd and 20 for 39 yards!

Time of Possession is insane. Bears 26 mins, Lions 12. It is almost unheard of to lose when you have double the TOP.

Holy shit, a bad kickoff turns into a fumbled return. Stevenson with helmet to football knocks it out, Gates recovers. Bears ball in plus territory. This is where you need a TD.

What is gonna kill the Bears is 3rd downs. Detroit is 6 for 7. Bears are 2 for 7. Don't forget that missed pick-6 by Johnson. It would be 20-7 right now, not 13-14.

Defense forces a punt and Bears get a FG. Good start to the 2nd half. The defense cannot get passive and they need to double St. Brown. Make Goff throw to someone else.

I hate this defense, so passive, give 10 yard cushions. Their best WR WIDE OPEN. Come on Flus.

DJ Moore with a huge first down. All out blitz, DJ gets the ball 7 yards short and gets the first after breaking 3 tackles, wow.

Mooney made a nice catch, but man he sucks at blocking. Foreman got blew up earlier on a whiffed block, then he whiffed on a block for Fields.

They need to stretch them out. 8 in the box every down.

Johnson has a long DPI and now a missed pick-6. Basically a 14-point swing on one play.

Scott's fumble and a missed pick-6 by Johnson equals 7 points for the Lions. You can't make mistakes like that and expect to win.

Damn Johnson drops a pick-6 on 1st and goal, ouch.

Scott fumbles on a simple pass, he can't be that weak with the ball. Lions ball in Bears territory, not good.

Pick #2, TJ Edwards!!!!!

Fields tries a deep shot, then has a pass batted down. Gill sucks ass. How can you not angle the punt to the sidelines towards the 10. He punts it straight down the center of the field for a touchback punting from the 45. The Bears need a new punter.

Huge 4th Down pass to Moore. Fields looks great.

Stevenson with the pick. When you get pressure on Goff, he gets shaky.

Fields had 38 passing yards and 28 rushing yards on the first drive. 7 first downs. The Bears only average 19 per game, Lions average 22.

WOW what a signature drive, 75 yard drive, 5+ minutes. They looked unstoppable. First offensive series: 1 rollout, 1 designed run, 1 RPO run for Fields, then a scramble and pass to Moore, then a nice pass to Kmet for another 1st Down, then a designed reverse rollout and pass to St. Brown. The first RB run with Foreman to left for 4. Another rollout designed boot run for Fields, slides and gets hit, no call. Foreman a beastmode run on 1st and goal to the 2. The play clock almost runs out, but Bears get a timeout in before the penalty. Fake run, then pass to Tonyan, defensive PI. 1st down on the half yard line. Foreman walks in for the ez TD. 7-0 Bears. No 3rd downs, all 1st and 2nd downs. Crazy.

No excuses today for the entire team. Even if they lose, as long as they are super competitive and lose, they can at least show they belong. A win is obviously better, but a bad loss, even a 10 point loss would be disappointing because one extra first rounder isn't going to magically make them contenders. They need to do it with the players they have now. Poles/Eberflus have never beaten an NFC North opponent, not really taking the North.
