Although this can safely be assumed, we must look at a few things.

This is the Lions fourth game against a team with a top 10 run defense. First game against a team in the top 3. Those games were:

W vs. Chiefs [#10 RSH DEF] - KC allowed 118 rushing yards (74 yds and 1TD to Monty)

W vs. Bucs [#7] - TB allowed 40 rushing yards (14 yds to Monty)

W vs. Chargers [#9] - LA allowed 200 rushing yards (116 yds and 1TD to Monty)

The Bears currently hold the second best defense against the run, allowing 3.2 YPC on average, and I think we will stuff the Lions run game and Monty.

That being said, Monty will still probably get a TD, Lions win, with Goff murdering us through the air. But ay 🤷‍♂️

After this game, everyone in this sub still saying the Bears defense sucks will do a turn that would make Brian Boitano blush. Old comments will be deleted and a bunch of new ones made about how they knew the D was good weeks ago.

What a take holy shit

[–] Glennture@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, what would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now?

[–] Toews1978@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That dude should 100% be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears

Build the pyramids and beat up Kublai Khan. Would definitely make Scott Hansen go wild on RedZone

[–] parks381@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chiefs also have a good pass defense so it makes it easier to stop the run.

Bucs, Monty got hurt and they mostly abandoned the run. He only played 18 snaps in the game.

We're more like the Chargers, and Lions will be able to stay balanced and unpredictable.

[–] BR1M570N3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Stats don't mean anything in a revenge game. It's a revenge game for Monty. Remember when Ced Benson ran over us for 189 yards? I'm expecting the same from Monty.

[–] qdude124@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Might be hard if he only gets a dozen carries

Lions going to Lion Bears $ line +400

[–] Lobanium@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who cares. They're a good team, we're not. Good players tend to play well on good teams. Monty is not a world beater, but he's a good player on a good team. Herbert and Foreman would probably run wild on us too on a good team. Hell, they do pretty well on the Bears, and we suck overall.

I know it’s easy to say, Bears are terrible at everything but anyone who can’t admit that this defense isn’t doing good things isn’t watching the games. They’re on the right track.

I did a quick look up and from a statistical perspective they’re on par with the Eagles…

[–] ATKwoo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Lions fan here, the Bucs game is an anomaly. Gibbs was inactive & Monty got injured in the first Q

What are you doing here? Don’t you gotta be over in r/lions telling yourselves you’re Super Bowl contenders

[–] BearDahn83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Boooo don’t be like that

[–] iAmTheYeastOfTHOTS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No actually I think I’m gonna spread hate

[–] amortized-poultry@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be genuinely hilarious if all the lion pictures on r/lions were full of Detroit Lions fans just misunderstanding the sub.

[–] _vogonpoetry_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

After really bad losses in the past, we turned /r/detroitlions into a sub about actual lions multiple times

[–] Additional_Pain7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“Put your paw in there” - Dan Campbell probably

Hell of a coach!

[–] idk_bruv@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didn't he get hurt in the 1st quarter that game

[–] y_wont_my_line_block@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I was Ben Johnson, my game plan would revolve around picking on Tyrique Stevenson.

[–] Mthead23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Such a bold idea that every single team has thought of it so far this year. He ain’t the most targeted cb in the league for nothing.

[–] tallslim1960@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

More worried about Gibbs honestly. The Bears have no one to match his speed.

[–] Toomuchlychee_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’re presenting this as if LAC is the outlier but actually TB is the outlier. I expect 100+ yards and at least one touchdown from him against us

[–] patchinthebox@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Monty will have 94 yds and 1 TD.

Gibbs will have 39 yds rushing and 74 yds receiving with 2 TDs. Lions win 38 to 24.

[–] Gryffindorq@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

coulda just commented on that thread

[–] bourgeoisiebrat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I sincerely hope they feed him the ball 30+ times. Not because he won’t chew us up but because I prefer that to Laporta and gibbs eating us alive.

[–] Dunkypete@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Those are against teams that can score though.

[–] Goozy89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I for one am looking forward to getting dominated by Monty and watching this sub make post after post asking us nobodies why we didn’t keep Monty as if we know wtf we’re talking about

[–] PitchBlac@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wonder if Montez Sweat will have some sort of effect on the Lions Oline. He’s my favorite player to watch rn behind Fields. Makes the defense watchable.

[–] obi-1-jacoby@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s a revenge game… we are fucked my boy

[–] LeShellyBoy127@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
  1. Actual revenge game since we wasted the start of his career.
  2. Bald Head Aggression.
[–] KSparty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly I'd be okay with both teams offenses revolving around Monty and Foreman

[–] MattNagyisBAD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Bears are not a top 3 run defense - I don’t care what the stats say.

[–] Headwallrepeat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It doesn't really matter what he does. Bears running backs room is better than it was last year. Monte will run wild on us. Both statements can be true because we are playing the Detroit Lions not David Montgomery.

[–] Timegoat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All I know is I will be watching the game in my #32 jersey because that’s the one the wife got me when I told her my favorite bears wore numbers 32 and 58

[–] Mysterious-Current64@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sunday, Fields faces a Lions defense that has given up 30 points per game since Week 7, the most in the NFL.

[–] cmacfarland64@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s not so much Monty as much as it’s his o line.
