Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions : Open Game Thread Week Seventeen

Posted on 30 December, 2012 by Brent Jamison Posted in Game Thread 57 Comments

Let’s hope this is NOT the last game thread of the season. The Bears need to win today to prevent that. The Packers also need to win today to give the Bears a shot at the postseason.

Game time is 12 noon on FOX.

Stop by and chat about the game while in progress.

Nice push by Melton.
Gerdie

Ugly offense
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

We got it all that drive. Timeout, false start, fumble, punt.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Johnson may have 25 targets today.
Gerdie

Is that a fumble?
Gerdie

Guess not. Tuck rule.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

By rule its the right call I guess.
Gerdie

Yeah. Right call. Stupid rule.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Wow.
Gerdie

A Bennett sighting!
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Terrible defense.
Gerdie

Yeah. Crappy D. Good block my Marshall
Gerdie

Fumble!!!
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Yes its a fumble!
Gerdie

Don’t like that play call.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

When will they learn Forte is not a short yatrdage back.
Gerdie

If you are going to run with Forte, you should go outside. At least off-tackle.

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Agreed.

Gerdie

Should they even be worrying about “Getting the ball to Hester anymore”?
Gerdie

Nice effort by Jeffery
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Terrible Mare. Hope Marshall is ok
Gerdie

I missed that. What happened to Marshall?

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Dropped pass.

Gerdie

OK. I thought you meant he was hurt.

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Oh he did walk off with a limp earlier.

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Have to get a TD here.
Gerdie

I think some if the Lions have planes to catch for the off season or something.
Troy

It looks like the early season bears might be back

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Feels like one of those games, doesnt it?

Gerdie

And there we go. Can’t put it away.
Gerdie

Is that my father in law Troy? Didn’t see your name at first.
Gerdie

Bad tackling
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Yeah this game should have been put away.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Ugh.
Gerdie

Lovie is watching his coaching career flash before his eyes.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

3 point game.
Gerdie

This game is like the Bears season in a microcosm.
Gerdie

Dumb!
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Huge break.
Gerdie

The Lions are trying to give this game away. The Bears just don’t want to take it.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Got to score touchdowns
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Big drive for Bears.
Gerdie

Its sad that all I’m thinking is how are they going to screw this up.
Gerdie

http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

FGfest
Gerdie

Letting them hang around
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Terrible penalty
Gerdie

Briggs didn’t make the pro-bowl?
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Is there any doubt the Lions score here?
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Nice job by Jennings after getting beat a few times earlier.
Gerdie

Another timeout.
http://www.chicagobearscentral.com/ Brent Jamison

Huuuuge run.
Gerdie

Wow. The Bears are actually running the clock out…
Gerdie
