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
Anywhere to watch
the game online for free?
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
Middleton returns just past the 20 to start the game

Kitna's pass knocked away
Intended for Roy. It’ll be 3rd and 10.

Kitna sacked for an enormous loss
Get rid of the football.

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
That penalty definitely changed field position.

Forte goes for about 8 yards on the screen pass
He was lined up at WR.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Forte should have gotten destroyed by Alex Lewis
But Lewis missed the tackle and Forte picked up 5 yards on the swing pass.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
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.

Forte gets the handoff on 3rd and long
He gets back up to the 20, bringing up 4th down.

And it is good. Bears lead 3-0.

Some miscommunication there
Kitna throws to no one.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Linebackers got fooled on the play-action
Lenon bit on it and Olsen was wide open.

Check that, announcers were wrong
Manning downed the ball at the goal line, but he had a foot in the end zone.

Kitna gets stripped from the blindside
Bears recover.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
You suck Backus
Good Lord. Kitna had no chance to get that pass off.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Forte gains 7 or 8
Tackled by Dizon. I guess he is back in the rotation at MLB.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orton overthrows everyone
Don’t get why they threw it to the end zone on 3rd and 1.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Bears go for it and Forte gets stuffed
Lions ball after the huge stop.

Gain of 1 maybe
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna hit Calvin Johnson for a first down, but Calvin dropped it
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
He took his eyes off the ball
Absolutely terrible. Him and Roy need to start catching the ball.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hester with a return up to the 48
And a flag for a late hit is coming.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Bears start at the Lions 37 thanks to the penalty
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Calvin definitely looked upfield before securing that catch
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wolfe got tackled for a huge loss, but there is a flag
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Doesn't really matter anyways, they're just going to score eventually since they're on the 1
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
His knee was down and the ball was at the half yard line
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Roy makes the catch, breaks a tackle, and picks up a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Roy makes another catch for another first down

Orton hits hester for a big gain

Looks like Roy ran the wrong route.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith is tackled a few yards short of a first down on the dump off
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
hey Sean, how’s it going?
all I gotta say about this game is….at least it isn’t 21-0 like all the others….
and besides, me and Leos are getting something out of it in FF, what with Orton lighting it up for me, and the Bears defense pitching the shutout so far
Terrible as usual
Offense is absolutely pathetic, defense isn’t much better.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That'll do it for the first half
Lions trail 17-0. Well, this is fun.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Can we just hire Billick out of the booth right now?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
know it’s off topic, but, it’s marginally less depressing….did you make it to the Big House yesterday?
Yes, and it was no fun after Michigan went up 14-3
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
i was out at camp randall, watching Terelle Pryor
he’s gonna be really good….made a few mistakes, but he’s already got nice touch on his throws, and he led the hairless nuts on a 4th quarter come from behind TD drive
Beanie Wells is scary to watch live, that guy gets to the hole maybe faster than any back I’ve seen live
FitzSimons is hurt
His left arm is messed up it looks like
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Offsides on the kickoff
They Lions had Chicago pinned inside the 10 and now they have to redo it. Can they fire Stan Kwan already? The Lions’ special teams is terrible.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orton hits Olsen and he picks up a huge gain
All the way inside the Lions 30.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Marty Booker just made an amazing catch for a first down inside the 5
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
listening to Bears radio, and they’re saying Kitna’s elbow is being looked at and Orlovsky’s warming up
They ruled the pass incomplete but Fisher got called for pass interference
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Booker hauled it in with one hand while being interfered with Fisher
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Bears will likely challenge
That try was good enough to make it a catch in my opinion. That was ridiculous.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
why are they challenging getting the ball inside the 5?
I mean, I won’t mind if I get the yardage for Orton’s passing stats, but I’m slightly cofused
They picked up a couple extra yards
And Booker did deserve that catch.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Booker now gets the catch and the ball is on the 1
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kalvin Pearson drops an interception in the end zone
Have to catch that.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Although Kitna hasn't played well...
Orlovsky sucks.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Middleton returns up to the 13 and there is a flag
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Holding on Furrey... Lions will start inside their own 10
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna is shaking his head on the sideline
This team is a joke.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
it’s not like Kitna’s doing anything to deserve continued playing time
it feels like when you go to the IM building to play pickup basketball and you have a player on you team who keep shootings and missing, and you wonder why he doesn’t just pass it a little bit, not like anyone can would do any worse…
Orlovsky hits Felton on the bootleg right before he got hit
Felton fought and fought and fought for extra yardage but fumbled and Chicago recovered.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Call overturned
Felton’s helmet hit the ground and the fumble was caused by the ground.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Felton deserves credit for making this 3rd and 3
He was hit for a loss but carried the defender for a gain.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Roy drops a catch and it's picked off for a touchdown
What a joke. Trade Roy’s ass right now.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
It was thrown a bit high and fast, but still, don't let it hit off your hand to the defender
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
What happened to Stanton?
Did we miss something?
He is
But apparently he hasn’t had enough practice to be ready to play.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I hate our coaching staff..
the people with practice aren’t doing anything so screw it at this point.
My wife made me change it
to philly and washington she was like why are you still watching this, the season is over… thats sad
Stop your bitching Roy
You have dropped 4 freaking passes.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
And he's continuing to bitch about Orlovsky
Don’t let the door hit ya on your way out Roy…
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
hester fumbles and the lions recover at the Bears 21
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I'm really not sure
The coaches should bench his ass and trade him for whatever they can. He’s certainly losing value by the second now.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Bullocks made the hit to cause the fumble I think
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That's about the only way we were going to get to the 22 of Chicago
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Haha 31-0 can be our new 21-0
We are officially the worst team in football.
Felton makes the catch and takes a hit to fall forward for a possible first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Fire Rod and his staff NOW!!!!!
This coaching staff hasn’t a clue. This team can’t even manage to get close enough to get a field goal. If the players don’t have the “fundementals” that is from poor draft choices. Anyone in the NFL without fundementals doesn"t belong there. Rod should have benched Kitna when he blew up at the assitant coach in Atlanta. No backbone! What a joke!!!
I would agree with you, but who would replace Marinelli?
Might as well let him finish out this joke of a season he created.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
He cut back at the LOS and made another move at the 8 to score
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow.
This team sucks a lot more than I thought they would. I had hoped they might step up after that idiot Millen got fired. Looks like I was way off.
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

We should have traded him to philly or dallas
for a first rounder..
Let's see Stanton!

No #3?

I still think its time to start the Rod Watch : Countdown to Termination
whether theres anyone to take his place or not.. something has to change.. I say we trade the entire team for a sandwiche and a taco
Orlovsky sacked on fourth down
Gosder just got eaten up
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
And now Orlovsky is hurt
We don’t even have any other QBs.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I really wish we could just forfeit the season and immediately start the offseason
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Chicago is punting
I wonder who will take the last snaps at QB for Detroit.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Nevermind
Orlovsky is limping his way back out there.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Look at teams with new coaches
Atlanta beats GB and is looking to be a very good team. Miami just upset San Diego for another win. And Washington upset Philly.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That's the game
Bears win 34-7. What an absolute joke this team is. Recap will be up tonight/early tomorrow.
