Lions in a fight

They usually are.

 

[p1_]

No not an oversight, as I said above the Jets had a winning record when we played them also but it's measured by current record not the record when you play the team.

It’s relative .

we beat a team that had a winning record after Thanksgiving. that makes it legit.

It’s relative .

It is, and it discounts a lot of factors.

I don't make the rules.

Chicago recovers fumbled snap

 

[bbgun]

Kupp is sneaky fast

 

[data]

Pics or it does not exist.

It is, and it discounts a lot of factors.

But at this point of the season it has more validity 12 games in.

 

[boozeman]

Tootie with only his second rushing TD of the season.

 

[data]

TD Bears. 25-13 with 2pter attempt upcoming. 14 minutes remaining.

Justin Fields, after pass play breaks down, uses his speed to take the pylon from 20 yards out.

 

[Rev]

Sauce Gardner having to cover Noah Brown. That aint fair for Sauce.

 

[boozeman]

The Lions had an underrated loss when their NT Alim McNeill went down.

They finally got smart, moved Jack Campbell to Mike and things were looking good.

It is a thing to keep an eye on.

They have a functional offense for the most part, but it is not unstoppable if the ebb and the flow of the game is disrupted.

 

[boozeman]

See, wouldn't it just be great if kickoff were an hour away?

Shit. I might take a nap.

 

[data]

Bears about to seal the deal. Lions don't convert 4th and 1 from their own 30

 

[p1_]

Rams hanging tough.

 

[data]

Bears settle for FG. 9:20 remaining. 28-13

 

[ravidubey]

Jets pass rushers are old school.

Always threading the line with roughing the passer.

 

[Genghis Khan]

But at this point of the season it has more validity 12 games in.

I don't disagree but like I said, what if Seattle finishes 6-11 or even 7-10 or 8-9? Nothing changes about how tough they played us but people won't look at that as a quality win.

People put way too much emphasis on quality of opponent when it's based solely on the opponent's record.

Win in the middle and late playoffs and who we beat in the regular season matters zero. Lose early in the playoffs and it wouldn't matter if we beat ten winning teams.

Shit. I might take a nap.

It would be even better if we were in the middle of watching it right now.
