Sunday 6pm slot looks fairly grim. Thanksgiving games would look to have heavy favourites. The TNF, SNF and MNF games do look interesting.

Not really impressed with this weeks slate of games but I could probably do with a break after the emotional roller coaster of MNF this week!

Seahawks Panthers is interesting, those are two teams with wild card hopes that could be seriously dented by a loss, so there's plenty at stake.

For Thursday, two things that make the Bears Lions more interesting than it might seem on paper: Trubisky might well not be playing, which is definitely advantage Lions, and also they are always tough to beat at home, and have beaten some really top opposition there this year. I would not be in the least surprised by a Lions win there.

Two things in the Bears favour though, is the Lions look like they will be missing their top 2 offensive threats in Marvin Jones & Kerryon Johnson.
With that in mind & after witnessing the first meeting, I'm can't see the Lions putting much points at all on the board.
Could well be a low scoring game.

We just promoted Tyler Bray from the PC to the main roster so it's looking like it will be Daniel tomorrow.


I'm optimistic but I've been through situations like this before where the starter goes down but we were told everything would be grand as the backup knows the playbook inside out. Hopefully he can make the throws when needed. He looked decent in pre-season against the Chiefs' 1s.

Lots of high leverage games this week - not quite must win just yet, but huge implications for playoff chances, especially with the NFC teams.

Ha ha. I actually felt that I'd count someone's wins as losses.

I'll blame the hour.

Fixed it now for ya. Back into the middle of the pack you go.

Very nice, just a little confused about what gives the record?
I would have thought it was total wins/total games so 101/161= .627 rather than .410


also, paleface killing it!

Maths for the insane is what does it. This is a prime lesson of not messing with Excel at 1am. Eugh. Please hold.

Trubisky is inactive. Chase Daniel starts at QB.

Certainly makes the game interesting.

That's not a good thing.

Foxtrol

This game has been so slow I think I'm still good in picking the Bears. Going for Cowboys and Saints later then pick the rest before Sunday.

rebelyell99

slow start to lions bears.The lions are frightened of the bears front 7 getting the ball out fast but not much success.

Zoton

If you love punts. This is the game for you

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Yea fairly dire 1st quarter. Longest run of the game so far just went for 7 yards. Hopefully things start to open up soon.

Oat23

Bears offense looks terrible and we couldn't afford to give up a turnover like that.

Nagy's refusal to try to get Howard going is frustrating. Mizzel comes from the practice squad the other week and is getting carries instead. Howard has back to back 1k yard seasons for god sake.

Oat23

Can't remember seeing a luckier 4th down conversion. They stupidly throw on 4th and it's tipped then caught by the fullback.

Not our day.

eagle eye

Lions got lucky with the tipped ball but they made it pay.
Daniels under pressure now to get a scoring drive going here. Personally I've always liked Daniels, always felt he could've been a starter somewhere but he hasn't looked good so far today.

Oat23

What a huge drive that is. That one play to A Rob opened everything up.

We deserved to get away with that pick play after Trey Burton was called for a BS penalty on a legal pick which cost us a game winning TD against the Dolphins.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Bears made that look easy. Not sure why they went for 2 however considering it's likely to be a low-scoring game.

Realt Dearg Sec

Can someone explain what that flag on the TD play was about?

A Rob with an illegal pick play up the field which is why Mizzel had so much room. They picked up the flag and said it was accidental but I think it was designed to look that way.

Honestly I didn't see anything in it but when the ref was explaining it I was helping my mam work the blender to make the stuffing. It's a tough day here, honestly, especially when you're drinking at the same time.

It didn't look illegal to me.
I don't think he blocked anybody. It's illegal if he blocks or impedes another form getting to the ball.

Nah it was definitely an intentional pick play and he blocked the DB who was supposed to be covering Mizzel.

The way he turned towards Daniel and put his hands out was an act.

Oat23

Nagy is asking a lot of Daniel today by not establishing any type of run game (28 yards total rushing) and also putting him in a lot of situations where he's taking hits with designed QB runs. He barely plays football and he has got rocked multiple times today. One bad hit and we're down to the practice squad QB.

Oat23 wrote:

He is allowed to do that, there was very little if any interference.

Zoton

Dammit. Roberts should've caught that

Oat23

You can't intentionally set a pick that far off the line of scrimmage though, and that was intentional. He put his hands out to fool the refs into thinking it was an accidental collision with the DB. He turns his head towards Mizzel but still holds his hands out. It was all set up.

Not sure how you can say there was little interference when he took the DB out of the play completely.

Oat23

Eddie Jackson you beauty. I ****ing love you.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Poor throw by Stafford, that's probably the game. Very good win from the Bears, look nailed on for a playoff spot now.

cosatron

Stafford wtf. Got 2 picks throwing to roberts

Oat23

What. A. Win.

Badabing

Eddie Jackson and Kyle Fuller i love you both equally!

Realt Dearg Sec

I was fully sure the Lions would win on that last drive. I've been pessimistic all week for this one, delighted to be wrong. Daniel had a rough start but he did pretty well as the game wore on. Defense looked tired but they did it when it mattered. It wasn't pretty, but to get flexed to late Sunday and and play early Thursday made everything more difficult, and to do with the back up QB. That's seriously good business, I don't care who you're up against.

Zoton

Sigh... Same old Lions

Realt Dearg Sec

I see they have Willie Beamen introducing the cowboys game. He was the best qb the sharks ever produced.
