[Aggies7]

Packers and bills next two weeks are the last best hope to give Detroit some losses 

[Aggies7]

Much better second half for the bears

The QB looks more poised, better blocking clearly. Not a great two point effort. You can see a bear's future...

[Aggies7]

Wow it’s a ballgame. Maybe all those injuries on D are catching up to Detroit 

[Aggies7]

I guess it’s fair to say the lions are struggling a bit here 

[Aggies7]

His foot was on the line wtf

[Aggies7]

Cmon bears pull this one out!! Lions are down to their water boys on defense 

[Aggies7]

Holy shaboozey

[Vanimal46]

Just awful clock management by the Bears. Come on. You have to fire the coach. 

[Aggies7]

The bears are so damn awful how do you let that happen 

[Aggies7]

That’s horrendous. The whole thing. Penalties clock management. Terrible.

I yelled fire the coach there. Truly awful.

That’s unfortunately for him, a fireable offense. The bears will find a way to lose if one exists

Eberflus walking in to the team facility after the flight home

That incompetence was amazing. My jaw dropped lower with every second that ticked off the clock.

I was convinced that they’d miss the kick, but the way they butchered the last 30 seconds will be way more memorable.

[nicksaviking]

Well, I guess we are all wrong, the Bears handled the clock correctly. Per Eberflus:

Dang, I wish he wouldn’t say things that will get him fired, I was looking forward to continuing to see him messing up Williams for several years and then watching Williams leave the division.

Dolphins already bungling

It’s a real problem for them. Personally I wouldn’t pay a QB $50 something million when he literally can’t throw the ball downfield below 40 degrees

Thanksgiving hot take… With each passing year I’m just confirming that I don’t actually like the full turkey thanksgiving meal. Doesn’t matter how you dress or prepare the turkey, I’ve had it cooked 5 different ways. They all turn out just okay. 

My brother and I were talking about starting a new tradition and just doing beef tenderloin or steaks instead of turkey.

I don’t think it’s just the QB, it’s an overall soft team. They don’t even bother showing up when the QB is on the IR.

That’s exactly what my neighbor did. It looked delicious.

But of course his mother in law had to bring a turkey too.

There’s always someone that insists on having turkey. But think about it, this isn’t a meal we make throughout the year. We put so much effort into this meal and the turkey always turns out okay. I’ve never had a mind blowing experience eating turkey.

Lions don’t seem to be struggling with the bears…

This didnt age well.  Did we perhaps realize that expecting weekly blowouts in a league where games are almost always tight is an unfair ask?

I mean...short of ridiculous coaching incompetence, they were about to go to OT at home versus the Bears and blow the game.

NFL games are close.  Wins matter more than margins.

Did you watch the game? Helps a little bit when the lions lost like 4 starting defenders during the game…

Anyway, I don’t expect blowouts every week, that’s absurd and have never said as much. I expect better teams to easily handle poor teams most of the time

I watched them barely win at home, which according to you makes them pretenders.

Those defensive injuries cause them to stop scoring too?

Pretenders because of one barely win? Now you’re just making stuff up. Never intimated as much with the Vikings. I can think of 5-6 wins off the top of my head that make me wonder about the Vikings record. 
 

The bears being on the field more helped, you know, keep the lions off of it. A TD a missed FG and 2 punts was their whole second half.

When you don't apply your arguments fairly, it's fair to wonder how serious to take them.

What argument am I not applying fairly? 
 

Everyone acknowledges, including me, that good teams sometimes struggle with lesser teams. If it happens every week it’s totally fair to question. Our last best game start to finish was 2 months ago. Lions have those games regularly. Now, if they struggle down the stretch I’ll question them too.

What aren’t you understanding, exactly? Does context not exist with you?
