This is one of those games they'll win, and make it look pretty easy...because bumslayers. Everyone will be opining that the Bears would be 7-3 with Dalton instead of 3-7 with a rookie QB working through rookie things. They might be right, but at least now Nagy will (hopefully) be gone at the end of the season. Unless they rip off a 7 game winning streak (lol).
In the next chapter of "What Have You Done For Me Lately."
Bears lose. Lions are hungry, embarrassed and are playing, "just the Bears." The Bears and the entire staff are pressing because they don't want to be "that team" that loses to the Lions.
It becomes a comedy of errors. Mooney drops a couple of big passes. Santo misses 2 FGs. Monty and Herbert both put the ball on the ground. Vildor still cannot figure out who he is to cover. Jackson plays and whiffs on a tackle leading to Lion TD.

Bears win because it's the only way to actually lose in my eyes. A loss allows us the freedom to fire Nagy and get on with it, we won't get that opportunity.

Bears would be 7-3 with Dalton (currently - NOT a comment on the future)
The Bears are on the verge of implosion. The article that came out today referring to most of the team wanting Nagy out will come to a head on Thursday. It's a short week, and players are emotionally and physically spent. If the Bears go down early, expect to see arguments and yelling on the sideline. Some of it may even end up as dust-ups with Nagy. The morale is low, key players/leaders are sidelined. This team is about to mail it in, and it will result in the first time in franchise history that the Bears fire a coach midseason.
Two questions:
Is this a trap game for Detroit?
At this point what possible reason for even watching the game?
Although it would be nice to get back to that explosive offense we ran with Dalton at the beginning of the season. Hell we might score 19, 20 points.
Probably not.

The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

Usually I'm pretty excited for the Thanksgiving game, even when the Bears aren't relevant. This year, ugh, it's a football game I guess.
I think the Bears will win. Dalton will probably look pretty good. As much as the energy swirling around the team is negative this is still the NFL and the players want to impress and put good things on tape. A bunch of the players who could 'mail it in' in some kind of protest of their head coach are already injured and not playing. I haven't followed the Lions much this year but I get the sense that they're playing hard for Campbell despite being the worst team in the league.
Lions are untalented, but playing hard and very competitive.
Thanksgiving games are a big wildcard.
And the Bears themselves are a total wildcard.
Will they be energized? Will they be sandbagging until Nagy is out? Will they be fine until something bounces the wrong way, then quit?
I think they just barely hold it together this week, before getting treated like an 80s Mike Tyson opponent the next 2 games.

Hello, my name is Moriarty. I have come to kill your website, prepare to die.
The Bears are better than the Lions almost across the board, including at coach (yeah I said it).
But momentum is real, and the wheels are off. Lions win.
