With this head coach, and the frustration of losing, I fully expect at least 2 personal fouls and maybe an ejectable offense by the Lions. ---

3rd holding penalty by the Bears’ special teams. Das ist nicht so gut. Bears need to suck up the clock and get a big TD. ---

I think the Lions play the 4 seconds after the whisle stronger than the four before. ---

This Lions secondary sucks and the Bears haven’t really done anything to challenge it down field. That said, we’re controlling the game and chewing a ton of clock, but it’s still a little disappointing. Need a little more killer instinct here. ---

Bears have left 2 or 3 interceptions out on the field tonight. ---

Nice INT by DJ Moore but he really should have let it go incomplete. Despite that, there was a great shot of Stafford after the play with grass all over his helmet that just looked brilliant. Apropos of not much else, there was a great shot earlier of Megatron with Tillman reflected in his visor. really great camerawork by ESPN. Bears are now punting… And to me it’s kind of funny to me seeing Zach Bowman in #38. ---

How many times are the Bears safeties going to buzz their feet? That doesn’t quite make sense to me. Nice pass block by Urlacher, I would have loved to see an INT on it. ---

Damn, Lions TD, but Stafford looks like he’s hurting. Peppers was pretty close to blocking the extra point, but it’s good. 30 seconds left. ---
