Go for a 4th and 10 at midfield. Kick a 4th and 3 inside the 10. How Eberflus makes decisions will always boggle my mind.

Funny seeing all the Lions fans rooting for the Bears tonight, despite seeing the exact same level of misery and incompetence that they’ve watched for the better part of 4 decades. Don’t be fools now that you guys are good, don’t root for the lost cause.
Rookie contracts for Johnson, Suh, and Stafford were vastly different than what they would have gotten today. I think Stafford’s first contract was $72M? I think the current 1st overall picks get around $40M. And the total salary cap compared to now is so different that the $72M took up a bigger percentage of the total cap than any 1st overall pick would today. The Lions had that like 3 seasons in a row before the rookie salaries changed. I think something like 25-30% of the total cap went to those 3 players.
Missing 20 FGs in 2 different seasons is some kind of amazing feat. I definitely don’t think that’s ever getting beat.
Obviously Justin Fields is the most important to decide what the next steps are for the offseason but I’m excited to see Dexter and Wright continue to develop. They’ve both been playing well and really hope they can continue to get better so they can be key players moving forward.
People mixing up resign and re-sign drives me nuts. They mean opposite things lol.
C’mon Detroit! Make the last 40 seconds interesting and recover this kick!!!
Bears are still one of the worst defenses in the league. 13 sacks, lowest in the league, complete misuse of our biggest FA pick up in Edmunds. I refuse to believe he suddenly just started sucking. He was really solid with the Bills and just seems like Eberflus has no idea how to actually use him properly. Run D is good but the pass D is still mediocre at best and we have the worst pass rush by far.
We recently played the Panthers and the Raiders, who are two of the most anemic offenses I’ve ever seen and that’s coming from a Bears fan. We’re about to play the Lions twice and the Vikings in the next 3 games. If they can actually stop those teams, then maybe I can give you something. But the Chargers dropped 30, even the Saints scored 24 on us. Not buying that they’re anywhere close to a top 10 D or even a top 15.
Also run D has been really good because in the last 6 games, we haven’t played a single team ranked above 22 in rush yards per game. The best rushing offense we’ve played so far was the Broncos and they were ranked 20th when we played them. Since then, they’ve become the 12th but their offense has gotten a lot better compared to when they played us.
This game is never going to end. How is it only the start of the 4th? It feels like we’ve sat through triple overtime already.
NFCN full of frauds. Vikings - Frauds. Lions lost to the Packers - Frauds. Packers are barely better than the Bears’ record - Frauds. Bears - absolute dumpster fire.
