November 27, 20196 yr comment_177349 Quick turn around for both teams, never fun. Bears Offense vs Lions Defense 31st rated Passing Offense vs 30th rated Passing Defense 29th rated Rushing Offense vs 24th rated Rushing Defense Lions Offense vs Bears Defense 5th rated Passing Offense (w/ Stafford) vs 9th rated Passing Defense 18th rated Rushing Offense vs 7th rated Rushing Defense One interesting advanced stat is DVOA that has the Lions at 17th (16th - O, 24th - D) and Bears at 20th (27th - O, 6th - D). That's how inefficient we have been on offense. Only Pittsburgh (28/3) and NYJ (30/5) have been as lopsided between O and D. The Lions have lost their last 4 and 7 out of their last 8. Talk about the wheels falling off. They just lost to the Redskins where Driskel threw 3 INTs and was sacked 6 times. There is no reason we shouldn't dominate this team. We just played them 18 days ago where Trubisky threw 3 TDs and had a very efficient game. The Bears won 20-13, but they were up 20-6 until a late TD made it closer than it needed to be on the 47 yard TD catch by Golladay. I can't see the Bears losing this game, and if they do, Nagy should be fired on the spot. Stafford is still out and Driskel is on the injury report, along with Flowers, Hand, Harrison, and Hockenson. The Bears are much healthier and the better team. Bears 27-13 Report
November 27, 20196 yr comment_177350 Bears 24, Lions 10. Bears get a defensive TD and Jesper Horstead gets his first TD. Peace Report

In that game: 22-37, 59.5%, 184 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 1 Rushing TD. They lost 63-14. His rushing stats in college were funny, 264 rushes for 262 yards. Now the one thing that stands out is he had a game against Missouri where he threw for 572 yards and 3 TDs last year. So he has some potential, but who knows which QB will show up. The guy that threw for over 550 yards or the guy with a 61.0% Comp Pct, and averaged 6.8 Y/A in college with 69 TDs and 43 INT? He is also 6' and looks shorter than Drew Brees: Report
November 28, 20196 yr Author comment_177358 His Preseason stats: 25-43, 58.1%, 271 yds, 6.3 Y/A, 72.9 QB Rating, 2 TD, 2 INT, 3 sacks Those are comparable to the likes of David Fales, Drew Lock, Josh Dobbs, and Tyree Jackson. Report
November 28, 20196 yr Author comment_177359 They literally need to fire the entire organization before the post-game press conference tomorrow if they lose to this guy. Seriously, how bad would it get if a UDFA cast off from Cleveland, as a 3rd Stringer on a short week comes into start and outplays your franchise QB and torches your top 10 defense on national TV? Oh man, we need to completely shred this team tomorrow. Report

You know how our luck goes, lol! Yes, yes I do. Either we are going to completely dominate or get torched by a UDFA who has never taken a snap before in an regular season game. He is the 3rd QB ever to make his first start on Thanksgiving. The other two: Kent Graham: 12-28, 42.9%, 151 yds, 60.3 QB Rating, 1 sack (1992 vs Dallas) Drew Henson: 4-12, 33.3%, 31 yds, 1 INT (Pick-6), 7.6 QB Rating, 1 sack (2004 vs Bears) So Drew Henson started for Dallas and was so bad, was pulled after the Pick-6 to McQuarters that 60-yr old Vinny Testaverde came in and pulled out the win against the hapless Bears.

November 28, 20196 yr Author comment_177368 Bears score on first drive then the defense let's up a 75 yard TD pass to Golladay on a busted coverage, wonderful. Report
November 28, 20196 yr Author comment_177369 Defense playing like crap, busted coverages. Fuller literally covering nothing. He ran the opposite way of the receiver. Report

November 28, 20196 yr Author comment_177371 Bears defense is getting absolutely shredded by Blough, embarrassing. 14-7 Lions. Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177374 Defense looks horrible. Offense was OK but penalties on the one drive killed them. At least if they lose the game it then becomes all about next year. No way is 9-7 team making it into the playoffs this season. Peace Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177375 Most of the teams woes point to coaching. Nagy needs to drop the play calling and work on just getting the team prepared. His offense could the greatest in the NFL, but when the team is not mentally ready this late in the year, that is on him. I don't want to start all over, I want this ship righted. Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177376 Horrible throw for the pick by Trubisky in a game where he has actually played OK. Nice to Wims get some real play time. I would like to see him to continue to get this opportunity the rest of the season. Win or lose this game, this team does not have it in them to win out. Want to see the younger players (Ridley, Horstead, Wims, Bahr, etc) get as much playing time as possible. Peace Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177377 Penalties have killed this team all year long - Wims with a block in the back, Leno with a hold, Floyd with an inexcusable roughing the passer. Simply ridiculous. Peace Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177378 Beautiful TD catch from Horstead (called it earlier in the week). I think this kid could/should replace Burton. Too bad the defense looks like they are going to give up the lead. Peace Report
November 28, 20196 yr comment_177379 Horrible offside penalty from Clinton-Dix followed by a terrific tackle from Fuller to save a TD. Peace Report

You have this team prepared and take them up a level or we are all fired after next season. Report
