Bears bites: You, sir, are no Joe Willie
You, sir, are no Joe Willie:
What was that you said, Nate Burleson? Something about a guaranteed victory?
However ...
To be fair, the Lions receiver was almost right. This one was waaaay too close for comfort.
Bennett like Earl:
But while Burleson was mainly talk Sunday, Bears receiver Earl Bennett was strictly action, finishing with 7 catches, 4 for first downs, highlighted by a 33-yarder in which it took a pride of Lions to bring him down.
Zoo-per interesting:
Speaking of lions, according to askabioligist.org, if a bear and a lion were to fight in the wild, the bear would win every single time paws down.
You talking to me?
Not sure what was more uncomfortable viewing over the weekend: Robert DeNiro straining to read cue cards on “SNL” or the Bears somehow making the 2-9 Lions who were down to their third-string quarterback look like a playoff contender.
Get down … and stay down!
How lucky are the Bears that one of Detroit's defensive backs just missed knocking Jay Cutler all the way to Ann Arbor on a scramble in the third quarter?
Two words: Todd Collins.
BTW, what happened …
... in the final minute of the first half? One second Jahvid Best is bottled up at the line of scrimmage deep in his own end and the next thing you know, Calvin Johnson's shooing away Bears players as if they were Oompa Loompas en route to the end zone.
Really, can you believe it?
The Bears are 9-3.
