Week 1 Non-Packer Games Thread

4 chances inside the 1 after a fumble/turnover... bears - nada

How do you not kick the FG for the lead? Odd.

[Patler]

The Bears recovered a fumble at the Detroit 1, and didn't score?

[Patler]

Bears are absolute morons.

Morons.


100% grade A morons.

Down by 1 point, with an extra-point type field goal try, and you go for the TD on 4th??? If they lose this game, Lovie Smith deserves to be fired.

[Fosco33]

Bears have almost 400 yards of offense BUT 4 turnovers (albeit Lions have 3).

Ugly game.

Bears D held and they have solid field position - maybe that's his rationale (i.e., they should at least get a FG if they stop the anemic Lion offense).

But short of the 1st down and Bears only get to the 40 - punt time.

Ouch. :P

Agreed.

The Lions can't move the ball and he doesn't take the lead?

[Fosco33]

If Lions can get a few 1st downs and burn 4 minutes (that's saying a lot when they've only got 10 in 55 minutes), the Bears will lose their home opener (and for 3 hours, the Lions will be in 1st place).

[Patler]

Wow! Interesting stat!

Detroit has punted 5 times from inside their own 5 yard line today, and the Bears have only 13 point!

And with Stafford possibly out the Pack and the Vikes benefit.

Neither team looks competent.

Yup - Lions have plenty of weapons but if theres no one to feed them.... sucks to be a Lions fan.

"Looks like both teams are in preseason form"

? why do announcers always say midseason form? How about playoff form? Or even late season form?

[falco]

If he ever really had "it," Cutler lost it somewhere.

I hear ya but when I watched the Vikings on Thursday they certainly looked preseason on offense.

Yes, that was an excellent, excellent trade they made with Denver (for us).
