Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions GameThread, Oct 5, 2008 1:00 PM EDT

Greetings! Prediction Time

My thoughts on todays matchup…Unfortunately for me (Megatron on my FF team) Roy Williams will be the star of the game with over 100 yards and 2..count em’ 2 touchdowns. Megatron will have a mediocre game with about 60-80 yards and no tds. Rudi will also have a td but not be a big threat on the ground. The Lions defense will surprise us all and only give up 2 touchdowns today and a few field goals. The secondary will be much sharper and our LB crew will look like true veterans. On paper it will seem like our defense was stellar, but all Lions fans will know that the Bears O made us look that good. We also get our first INT of the season. Either Paris or Ernie. The Lions wait patiently a few more years to draft Pryor and will keep Kitna in the pocket till 2012 when he is forced to retire by the new sheriff in town-Bill Parcells. My prediction for today….LIONS 24 – BEARS 20

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle

Kitna's pass knocked away

O-line is more at fault, though

Absolutely terrible blocking.

Offsides on Lance Briggs

That’s a big break for the Lions. Hester went back for 28 yards and gave the Bears great field position.

Hester tackled at the CHI 46

Forte picks up a first down on the toss

It was only 3rd and 1 and he again should have been tackled for a loss. Redding and Sims couldn’t bring him down, allowing him to pick up a first.

Check that, announcers were wrong

Manning downed the ball at the goal line, but he had a foot in the end zone.

Tackled by Dizon. I guess he is back in the rotation at MLB.
