Lions vs Bears Week 4 Game Thread

[roscoe36]

I'm going to jinx them, but so what.

I think the Lions are pretty decent this year. That was an awesome comeback, and every time I doubt Martz, his offense comes up big. We'd probably be 4-0 if we played any defense against Philly.

I'm excited. I'll be even more excited if we can get a real QB in this system. Kitna can make the throws, but he's got the intelligence of a roll of nickels. Imagine if we had an Eli Manning or a Drew Brees. Scary.

Btw, I realized today that Fatneck Raiola isn't getting as much camera time as he used to. Maybe it's because this team has a leader or two on offense now. I used to get so pissed off when he would walk around with his helmet off, face flush red and sweaty, screaming like a heat stroked ape. Looks like the line coach has found a way to help him overcome his physical and mental deficiencies.

I like False Start Fosters response to being benched, "we when with it".

Redskins fans are EVERYWHERE. In every football bar in every town on a Sunday afternoon. Some of them even still wear the pig noses.

I'll reserve judgment on the Lions until after Game 16. This team has a history of showing up some weeks and not others. Glad they beat those Bears though. Always nice to get an in-division win.

Is head coach Rod Marinelli letting the 3-1 start get to his head? He told the Detroit Free Press that his Lions are on their way to being "an elite team." Might want to play another elite team first -- the Lions' first four opponents are a combined 5-11.
