As you can probably tell, I don't really feel like talking about the Lions too much right now. This game is about the Bears and it's a game they need to win. Can you imagine if the Bears lose this game? It'd be like Armageddon down here. The bad thing is that every member of our opening day secondary will be either out or banged up, and the Lions, as some of you may have heard, like to throw the ole' football. That means the Bears offense has to produce, and under the Grease-Man, they should. But let's focus on what the Bears offense really needs to do: GIVE CEDRIC BENSON THE BALL. Does anyone else think it's a little weird that Benson is in his third season as the fourth pick (think about how high that is for a second) in the draft, and still no one knows if he's any good? I find this incredible. Well let's figure it out this week. Cedric, are you good? We as Bears fans must know this. Because I'll tell you something right now, and I'm generally as optimistic as Chicago sports fans come, but a team with Brian Griese and Adrian Peterson as their starting quarterback-running back combo isn't good. Sure they could be alright for a game or two, but not for a season, not in the playoffs. Turner already fucked up Grossman (I'm not letting that go), he better not do the same thing to Ced Ben. Just give the guy the ball 25 times against a bad Lions defense and see what happens. If you win, great. If you lose, well this team isn't going anywhere is Griese and Peterson in the first place so it really doesn't even matter.
As far as the D is concerned, let's see some guys step up. That means Jamar Williams, Trumaine McBride, Darwin Walker, as well as guys like Urlacher, Briggs, and Ogunleye who haven't really done jack shit this season. The Bears need to make a statement this week and the Lions are a good team to do it against. Let's make Kitna a fucking atheist.
Prediction: Bears 27, Lions 3

It looks like a make a wish foundation picture, except kitna looks like a chemo kid too.
