Does Ben Have a Tell?...

Featured Replies

Losing record in division. Winning record everywhere else. It seems that Ben dials up a solid offense against other opponents, but does weird shit in division. Is this his tell?

The expected is, set up everything through play action equals success. Why does that not occur in divisional games? Is it frequency and familiarity? It is it, they think we'll do this, so I'll do that? Part of me thinks the latter, because why would you dial up so many reverses and jet sweeps? Sunday was weird...

I’d dial Them up too watching Tyson looking completely lost. We won two out of three games with our backup QBs. I’m taking my ball and going home and calling it a day.

I think his offensive system is hard to prepare for if you don't get to see him often because more than half the league runs some variation of the Shanahan/McVay concepts. Ben's offense is unique. Teams in the division have played against him for years. He's not able to catch them by surprise.

I also think it comes down to talent. The Bears don't have the same top end, elite players that Ben had in Detroit. We don't have an Amon Ra, a Jamison Williams, or a Gibbs. Few do, which is why the Lions are still as good as ever on offense, because they've had more talent than anybody over the last half decade. The Bears skill position players are inexperienced and inconsistent.
