Hard to believe the Bears have had that many turn overs/field position and only up 6. This is turning into a lot closer game than I thought it'd be.

We need timeouts simply to run our regular offense.

 

What a joke.

 

Peace

That's 3.

3rd blown timeout today.. And Kellen Davis with the typical drop on an opportunity for a big play.

Somebody tie Marshall's shoe.

There could have been a defensive holding penalty on that throw too, that made a big difference.

Just cut Hester, he is worthless.

 

 

While they are at it, I offer for free to clean out and package Kellen Davis's locker... Ill even drive to his house so he never steps foot in Halas hall.

F*ck these refs, that was BS. I hate Stafford and his acting. This is garbage. So the receiver puts his head down and Wright hits him at waist level, and that is a penalty?

We are pissing this one away.

Idiot Briggs and whoever else was in on the Stafford hit. You know it's going to get called and you do it anyways. That's an automatic. You can't lower your head into a QB that's sliding. Idiots. Got what they deserved there.

The O needs to hold the ball AND score here cause the Lions are jobbing the D.

Run the ball twice, get yourself 3rd and 4, then you throw the ball into double coverage down the sideline trying to get 20+ yards. Why?

and that drive went on to result in a TD. The pattern of self destruction continues. We started this self destruction at the end of the first half. With a little over 2 min to go coming off a turnover putting us in FG range. Detroit had all their timeouts and we throw the ball several times, milk nearly no time off the clock settle for the FG and leave Detroit with all their time outs and plenty of time on the clock. They drive down and score. We come out in the second half and do nothing on offense or defense and we've now let them go on a 21-6 run and now only trail by 2. With less than a min to go in the first half we were up 20-3. We deserve to lose, and we dont' deserve to be in the playoffs, and Lovie doesn't deserve to coach another down of Bears football.

3rd and 4 and we run a "Go route"?

Been scratchin' y head all season.

Two of the NFL's best teams at blowing games are on display at Ford field today.

There's another time out

Big run Forte!

There's another time out

That one I really didn't mind. It's a big 3rd down, the playcall is in, Cutler is at the line and he decides that he doesn't want to go up against the defense he sees on the field. When you have a lead and it's a third down, take the TO and make a playcall you're happy with.

Surprising to see Detroit's TD scoring drives of 80, 80, and 95. The takeaways sort of masked that.

Playoffs?

There's another time out

 

We have to be the worst team in the league at getting plays in from the sidelines in a timely fashion. I've lost count how many time outs we've burned because we were late getting to the line barely having time to snap the ball. I think this creates at least problems. One we lose time outs that can be so valuable later, it kills continuity in a drive you get some rhythm and you have to burn a timeout because you were late getting a play in. And when you get to the line with 5 seconds or less. It gives your QB almost no time to get pre-snap reads, audibles, adjustments, etc. The good offenses are ahead of the clock and get to the line with plenty of time to look the defense over and make pre-snap reads. I've seen way too much confusion and rushing around and disorder getting to the line and executing a play. When you start off hurried and sloppy you tend to play sloppy and hurried.

That one I really didn't mind. It's a big 3rd down, the playcall is in, Cutler is at the line and he decides that he doesn't want to go up against the defense he sees on the field. When you have a lead and it's a third down, take the TO and make a playcall you're happy with.

 

The different play call didn't help. Luckily Cutler rushed and picked up the first and more when he saw nothing open. That time out could have been huge, if Cutler couldn't make the rush there. The Lions just needed a field goal for the lead with little time left.

I agree that one I have no problem with. In that situation, take the TO be sure you got the call you want. The ones that irritate us fans are the ones called because the play is late coming in and Cutlers trying to rush everyone to the line and get the play set up, and has to burn one. We've seen that scene too many times this year, and too many times in recent years.

Only masked on the scoreboard. Most fans are fully aware of the way the game ended. We started out 20-3 but ended the game giving up a 21-6 run by Detroit and just barely squeaked by. Anyone who thinks this team has a chance at doing anything in the playoffs is drinking spiked kool aid. Looking at our season as a whole, the defensive scores, and turnovers leading to easy points masked an inept offense to a 7-1 record, once the D came back to earth so did our record, and a chance at backing into a playoff spot we really don't deserve. Should GB win today, no doubt we'll be stuck with Lovie another year.

I'd say at least another 2 years. I would imagine a 2 year extention will be given. Giving him 3 more years...
