When cutler and forte goes down., chicago ends up with a 8-8 record and this year by bringing in a rookie pass rusher., receiver and a questionable FA WR...they are better than the lions in all the ratings...they are expected to go deep into playoffs...second position in NFC north....

But the full strength team had to eat shit during MNF last year....a semi banged up secondary and broken finger on stafford's throwing arm ended up with multiple interceptions at soldier park...and that is a loss everyone wants to talk about...not the earlier win....everyone seem to have short memory of course as they conveniently forget the MNF win the lions had....everyone should remember how the turkey day game went on until the first half and until suh was kicked out....

So, the lLions had a banged up secondary...a receiver, hardcore special teamer, rookier udfa ended up playing in the backfield and they ended up conceding a bunch of yards towards the end of the season....and everyone feels that the secondary is the Lions's weakness...as though these guys can never get healthy....or any new acquisition will never fill in that void....I can think of hearing a different tune from those a..wipes if we had drafted Barron or Kirkpatrick as though those rookies would have fixed all the issues...so damn foolish...

I really find it hard to understand folks....how do these dynamics work?
