Lions barely beat Cleveland last week, but did come out with a win ... the Bears are probably not going to be able to get out of their own way.

I think the Bears defense bounces back but won't be enough to beat the Lions. Offense will put them on the field for too much of the day and eventually they'll tire out.

I think the defense comes back with a little more bite, but that Lions offense is rolling.
Trubisky fights but he's still too conservative and Teryl Austin shows him looks that has his head spinning. Dowell Loggains and John Fox have no answer.

This is just one of those games, where if you have followed this team close enough over the years... you just know it's one of "those" games. That we'll win, just because.
Then we'll proceed to get clown-stomped in Philly the following week.

He knows what he's talking about and he seems very confident in what he's doing. Maybe we're missing something. Maybe Trubisky really isn't ready for the bright lights and everything they are doing is actually the proper handling of him at this time. Or maybe he just hypnotized me like Shallow Hal and now I find him irresistable!G08 wrote:Seriously.

Philly is going to punt the Bears straight in the sack. It's going to be a beating that will elicit redundant Tribune quotes from George McCaskey who will say, "I spoke with Mom, and she is pretty pissed off."Richie wrote:BingoUOK wrote:This has "pointless victory where suddenly team feels ship is righted but fans know better, because Bears will surely lose next game in embarrassing fashion" written all over it.

I had a lot of optimism headed into the Packer game. But watching the way the coaching staff pissed away that opportunity, with a WHOLE BYE WEEK OF PREPARATION, I don't have a lot of faith right now. As the teams sit right now, the Lions are head and shoulders better than the Packers. This game doesn't go well. With Long out, and Leno struggling, this is going to be a jailbreak for the Lions. John Fox and the Bears will get ahead 3-0, five minutes into the first quarter, and spend the next 55 minutes trying not to lose, which doesn't work. Loggains strategy of run-run-pass-punt, fails to baffle the Lions defense. Stafford has a field day.

I've liked what he's done previously to this year. He's calling plays that are not his MO. I think Fox is in his ear and has him by the balls. He is so difficult to judge right now it's driving me bonkers. I'll keep giving him a pass until either Fox is gone or he starts to show more of his typical style of play calling. This staff obviously had a plan in play since Tru took over.G08 wrote:Seriously.

Nothing to be optimistic about with this team. There has been no real consistency with this team. Injuries, guys playing multiple positions, play calling.............nothing says loss like that shit does.

I've been watching a lot of Jake Locker and how Loggains utilized him. He wasn't gun shy with his play calling. He mixed things up 2x2, 3x1, spread and mix in boots and a lot of play action. Locker averaged 28.5 attempts per game in 2012. Then I watch what he did with Hoyer, then Barkley. Basically the same system, personnel groupings and formations wise. Fast forward to Trubisky and Loggains became this conservative heavy set, bunch style of offense. His creativity basically vanished. Fox knew he's in the hot seat, this was labeled a must win win game for Fox. He had no choice but to let Loggains have some freedom. This past game vs. the pukes was basically the first time Loggains was allowed to get his creative juices flowing. Mixing up personal groupings, using Cohen in motion, 2x1 & 3x1 with horizontal and vertical routes, even play action out of the I. That TD (Tru to Bellamy) play Loggains drew was a thing of beauty. He was systematically creating green for these receivers and it showed in Trubisky stat line. If Fox allows Loggains to get Trubisky into a rhythm early and stay creative, Tru can be dangerous (he's pretty damn good when throwing on time) and this offense could take off.G08 wrote:Elaborate plzFunkster wrote:I've liked what he's done previously to this year.

Agree with UOK. Just when fans get down on the team, they get things right for a week. Just long enough for them to pull the rug out. This will be one of those games like Carolina...they win decisively even if the score looks close.

at this point I don't care how nice Loggains sounds or what a good guy he appears to be
what I see is his offense regularly running into the teeth of 9 (or more) man defensive fronts and then passing only in predictable passing situations (also helping the defense)
if it takes him being an asshole to make the offensive scheme better and up to NFL speed, then please, be an asshole
right now he is simply broadcasting to the defense what the Bears are up to and providing no alternative for the players on the field

I think the level of pessimism with the final score predictions is a bit over the top. In the NFL, you're never quite as bad (or as good) as you think you are. This is still the only team that gave New Orleans a run, and dominated Carolina the week prior.
I also have very little respect for Detroit. They've been pretty sub-par to average since September.
It's kind of like how I said in last week's thread, that GB would bounce back... because that's what NFL teams tend to do when you stick a fork in them. I think the Bears pull off something similar this week, and Sunday was the second time when we were without Trevathan... and proceeded to get run all over on by two different scrub/3rd string RB's.
If we get Trevathan and Long back... I just still think this is a game we pointlessly follow through on. But no one will really give a damn, and I'll just roll my eyes and laugh.

I do think that if Danny Trevathan was healthy, we probably win that game.

He is literally the backbone of the defense. When he is in the game, playing well, making the right adjustments, the defense is amazing. When he is out. It just about falls apart.RustyTrubisky wrote:Richie wrote:I think the level of pessimism with the final score predictions is a bit over the top.
