Live Blog: Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lionesses (9/30/07)

Ford Field - The House that Millen Collapsed. Nice to know we don't have to hear 3 hours of Buck & Aikman blowing themselves over the damn NY Giants and each other.

lol no, I have to suffer with those three hours with the Rams/Cowboys game. Maybe Brian Leonard can get fantasy team #2 some points...he can't be any worse than MJD has been before the bye.

Great. The Battle of the Cubs...

Calvin Johnson inactive for the Lions as well.

see u at 4

Kickoff! Lions to start on their 20 yard line. Kitna to receive his first concussion of the day.

and Gould kicks the ball of for a touchback...Lions 1st and 10 at the 20.

what the hell...a handoff? Tatum Bell for 4, 2nd and 6 from the 24.

Bell again on the right side for a pair, Lions with 3rd and 4 from the 26.

Its amazing that Matt Millen has not been signed a lifetime contract with the Arizona Buzz Saw.

Nice catch by Fury. Too bad his feet were outta bounds.

Kitna looking deep for Furrey, incomplete, Lions go 3 and out.

Was there anyone who didn't think Hester was not going fumble that damn ball. Two hands! Lucky the ball went outta bounds.

Brian Griese takes his first snap as a starter. No fumble or int!

Griese to Clark for 6.

Time Out Bears. http://goril.../pics/millen

3rd and 3 from the DET 34...two plays and a timeout...what the hell? No Sarah Spain pic Tyrone? lol

Incomplete pass to Berrian. 4th down.

Gould for FG attempt...

FG blocked. Yellow flag down.

crap i get the cowboys game so can't be in the blog

they called time out to run that play? incomplete pass for Berrian. In other news, apparently the Raiders and Fins are in a lightning delay.

Rogers got a big paw in to swat that one down.

Sarah Spain only appears when Lionesses refuse to kick to Hester.

Seemed like ArmchairGM went down for a bit.

I'm back.

Bears 0

Lions 3

Great punt by Maynard. On Lions 35.

ok good, so it wasn't just me who couldn't get on the site. lol

Benson 3 carries for -3 yards so far...not good numbers.

Blame it on Millen.

Can either side hang onto the damn football?

Kitna incomplete over the middle looking for Bell...second and 10.

False start on the Lions. -5 yards.

and a false start makes it 2nd and 15.

Kitna sacked again (#2)

and another sack makes it third and a city block.

Kitna is already gimping and we are not even half way through the first.

what the hell was that? Kitna for nothing, Lions have to punt.

Yeah they kicked to Hester but I would hate to disappoint the fans here.

could we see J.T. O'Sullivan?

Who the hell would pay four bucks for a Rolling Rock?

As Packer fan, I miss Grossman!

Griese with a pass to Berrian for 3, 2nd and 7 from the 48.

incomplete looking for Clark...3rd and 7. Is Kyle Orton the backup for this game? lol

Maynard's leg is gonna fall off before half-time.

incomplete again, Maynard punts and pins the Lions inside the 10...what the hell was Walters thinking fair catching that.

and here comes Kevin Jones...gain of 4...why is Detroit running the ball

pass to Furrey for 5, 3rd and 1...let's see Martz run a QB draw.

complete to Roy Williams for 7 and a move of the chains...first and 10 from the 25.

Which running game is worse? Bears? Lions?

and back to the "ground" game...nothing doing, second and 10.

a 1 yard pass to Jones...ineligible downfield on Mulitalo declined so 3rd and 9

Could either of these teams beat Notre Dame?

sack 3...negated by an offside...so 3rd and 4...let's see if DET can capitalize.

Go figure. Big gain. Near the 50 yard line. 1st down Lions.

19 yard gain on the pass to Roy Williams, 1st and 10 from the midfield stripe.

of course, back to the ground game, Tatum Bell for 5 makes it second and 5 in Chicago territory.

Another first down for the Lions. Everyone gets a look at Bell's ass. Pants torn.

Bell up the gut for a dozen...1st and 10 from the CHI 33. That offsides may cost CHI some points.

holding on Shaun MacDonald, makes it 1st and 20 from the 43.

8 yard pitch and catch to Furrey...2nd and 12 from the 35.

End of the First Qtr.

Bears - 0

Lions - 3

Troy Walters down the middle for 21...first and 10 at the 14.

Bell for 5 on the final play of the first quarter...Lions on the move, 2nd and 5 from the 9.

Jay Mariotti is licking his television screen at this moment.

Bell picks up 4 on the first play of the second quarter...3rd and 1 from the 5.

Loose ball? Fumble? Recovery Bears? Flag?

huge turnover as Bell recontracts fumbleitis and coughs it up. Brown recovers on the 4.

1st and 10 from the 3...three runs and punt? Benson for 2 on 1st down...so 2nd and 8 from the 5.

That some brains demonstrated by Ogunleye to draw an unsportsmanslike. Geez...

oooo a 2 yard pass from Griese to Benson...3rd and 6 from the 7.

Berrian for 7 and picks up a much needed first down at the 14.

Griese to Muhammad for 7, 2nd and 3 from the 21.

uh, what the hell is up with the 1 and 2 yard passes...Clark for 1 makes it 3rd and 2.

Benson is utterly useless when it comes to handling the ball.

delay of game makes it 2nd and 15.

The Bears gain more yards when their defense is on the field. Figure that one out.

incomplete pass there looking for Bradley brings up 3rd and long.

Rogers with the sack...back to the 12. Maynard has to kick again.

decent punt, but Walters returns it to the Chi 40 and the Lions get another 15 on the bonehead penalty by Graham...he is the guy that got flagged for the delay call as well.

starting from the 25, Kitna hits Furrey for a dozen to the 13.

I'm beginning to really hate Furrey.

Jones for 1, take not Tatum Bell not getting the ball.

incomplete Kitna looking for McDonald...3rd and 9 from the 12...could be Furrey time.

For both of these teams: the defense is their OFFENSE. Kitna sacked again.

good thing the Bears have a pass rush...Kitna sacked.

FG attempt by Lions is blocked. This might go down is the WORST offensively played NFL game in history.

and the Lions come up empty as Hanson's kick is blocked.

Come on Detroit!

Garrett Wolfe??? getting the ball, gain of 2, 2nd and 8

Why does the site keep going down?

Bears - 7

Lions - 3

Brian Griese has already tied Rex Grossman for passing TDs this season.

In honor of the Bears second completed reception for TD, I present Sarah Spain.

good question...Griese hits Muhammad for a 15 yard score.

on 1st and 10 from the 16, Kitna hits Jones for 5 to the 21.

Jones for nothing on second down, makes it 3rd and 5.

Punt it to Hester!

a four yard pass on third and five...as Madden would say, I don't know why you would run a pattern that would leave you short of the first down marker. It doesn't make sense to me.

39 yard punt, Hester returns for 3.

Griese throws for 6 to Davis brings up 2nd and 4 from the 45.

The horrors of being a Detroit Lion.

One day Harrington might "tell it all" on Oprah Winfrey's couch.

Berrian on the reception for nothing. makes it 3rd and 4.

check that, I mislooked...gain of 10 and a first down at the DET 45.

Berrian again for 9 to the 36. Berrian has 6 grabs for 68 yards so far.

incomplete pass looking for Muhammad, 3rd and 1.

Griese is in a groove right now.

Griese calls his own number for 2 and a first down to the 34.

13 yarder to Muhammad down to the 21.

another 1 yard pass to Clark makes it 2nd and 9...24 passes and 9 runs for the Chicago offense.

Com'on O-Line, forget you suck just for this one play!

7 yard pass to Davis, and add another 7 for the unnecessary roughness call on Fisher...1st and goal from the 6.

Sh*t! Interception. Lionesses ball.

Hang on... Booth review? Whatever, I'll take it.

pick stands.

and halftime. Bears 7 Lions 3.

Half Time

Bears 7

Lions 3

Hopefully this site will stay online!

so Tyrone...the pic of Sarah Spain in the red, that from your personal collection? roflmao

And we are away.

These Lions cheerleaders need to start working out...

Benson for 16 yards. Sarah Spain. hmmmmmm.....

Bears come out running in the second half...three straight runs.

incomplete on second and nine to bring up third down.

Maynard is the Bears MVP.

targeting Gilmore on back to back plays? interesting play call...Maynard punts.

Lions take over on their own 15.

Not anymore. Fumble. Bears recover.

Kitna sacked and fumbles, Bears recover at the Lions 12.

Not anymore. Interception. Lions recover.

Benson for 2.

ERNIE SIMS with the pick...what the hell kind of game is this...does anyone want to win?

Seems like the Bears are duplicating how the Cubs won the NL Central.

Jones busts up the middle for 22 and gives the Lions 1st and 10 at their 31.

Jones for a loss of 2 bringing up 2nd and 12 from the 29.

Jones for the third straight play, this one for nothing, 3rd and 12...let's see if it is Williams, Furrey or a sack.

Williams for 11, but they needed 12...another Madden moment.

Challenge. Lions arguing it was a first down.

4th down - Lions lose challenge.

Detroit challenged the spot and lost the challenge.

Wow, Dallas Homos. That's some witty writing right there. Makes me enjoy the win versus the Bears that much more. Their fans are dumbasses, as you so definitely prove. Enjoy the collapse, Bears fans.

Harris punts, Hester with a 19 yard return to the Bears 39. What an offensive barnburner this is.

Hell, even dumbo would've known not to challenge that play.

Benson with an eight yard run to the 47, makes it second and 2.

Benson for 5 more and a first down at the Lions 48.

Griese incomplete, looking for Benson, second and 10.

Peterson, no not that Adrian Peterson, for 7, 3rd and 3.

Griese to Berrian for 14 and a first down to the Lions 27.

Benson up the middle for 2 makes it 2nd and 8 from the 25.

McKie flagged for a false start, backs the Bears up 5.

Griese runs for 6 to the 24, brings up 3rd and 7...Griese is 18 of 32 for 154 with 1 TD and 2 INT, and Kitna is 10 of 13 for 93 yards...what is wrong with this picture?

Griese sacked back to the 31, brings on the FG unit.

Gould's 49 yarder is good, makes the score Chicago 10 Detroit 3.

kickoff a yard deep returned to the 20.

Kitna throws long incomplete, looking for Furrey, second and 10.

Urlacher should've had that for an interception!

That was a pretty big cheer against the Lions on that sack.

Kitna to McDonald for 6, third and 4

Kitna dumped again...he's been dumped more times than Paris Hilton today.

Dammit Hester almost had that for a TD!

5 yard penalty for spiking the ball? No Fun League. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hester returns the punt 31 yards to the DET 40 then gets flagged for delay of game.

Yeah, that fumbled snap really set Romo back. He's 18-29 for 288 again today> 4-0, loserboy. Enjoy Brian Griese stinking it up, jackass. Another Dallas dynasty in the making! "Bullshit team." Wow, you're an adult? I'll be rubbing it in the rest of the year. Every Bears loss will be that much more enjoyable. Pack looking at 4-0. Don't forget to watch Tank Johnson tear the league up when he returns. Oh yeah: 34-10 ass kicking, knocked like half your team out for the year. Wimps! Go LIONNNNNNNS!!!!!!!

Chris Chambers spun the ball after catching a ball in the Oak Mia game...got flagged for delay, turned into offsetting penalties and wiped out a gain.

Benson for 2 moves the ball down to the 24, brings up third and 3.

Peterson for 1 brings up 4th and 2.

Gould boots a 41 yard field goal to make it 13-3. Just a side note on the other game I am watching since I am a Bills fan. Trent Edwards hits Michael Gaines for his first NFL TD pass to give the Bills a 17-7 lead with 7:01 to go.

FG is good.

Bears - 13

Lions - 3

Dallas Homos are f*cking useless.

Middleton returns the Gould kickoff to the 30.

Kitna for 38 to McHugh, whoever the hell that is

Kitna again for 21 to McDonald and the Lions quickly down to the CHI 11.

Kitna to Tatum Bell for 7 down to the 4. Third quarter ends, Chicago 13 Detroit 3.

TD Lions

Bears 13

Lions 10 (assuming extra point)

Kitna hits McDonald for a 4 yard score...Hanson's PAT is good, and quick fast and in a hurry, the Lions cut it to 13-10.

Griese needs to lead a drive down the field for a TD.

When people call other people "homo's" it says a lot more about the person saying it. Larry Craig, anyone!? Who's got a better chance this year of going to the Super Bowl? I await your undoubtedly juvenile retort.

Hester returns kickoff to the 28.

two passes to Benson, one with a 15 yard penalty tacked on, has the Bears in Lions territory.

Griese picked and Smith runs it back 64 yards for a pick six, Lions in front 17-13.

Interception Lions - TD.

Warden lives in NY but cheers for the Homos. What a homo.

Devin F*cking Hester - TD on the kick return!!!!

Bears - 20 Lions - 17

Hester runs back the kickoff 97 yards to give the Bears the lead back 20-17.

kick returned by Middleton to the 19, Lions take over there.

Devin Hester b*tches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

penalty fest makes it second and five from the 25. In other news, the Bills did win 17-14 over the Jets. hahaha

Roy Williams with a 7 yard grab makes it 1st and 10 from the 32

Furrey...

That was damn close....

Furrey for 49 and the Lions are in the red zone.

Kitna sacked for loss of 1.

incomplete for Walters brings up 3rd and 11

This is looking like a TD for the Lions.

wait, that play is under review.

TD - Lion.

play is reversed and is ruled a TD...Walters for a 15 yard score

Bears 20 Lions 24

You calling me a homo, asshole? You're a fucking big talker. Any time any place, moron, and we'll see who gets his ass kicked. OH BY THE WAY: DETROIT TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!! 24-20!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

extra point is good, Lions 24 Bears 20.

Hester fumbles another kick out of bounds. Chicago has possession at their 30.

Meanwhile, the Packers look like going 4-0 on the year as they lead the Vikings by 14 with less than 6 minutes to play. If the Lions can hang on, this would be an excellent week for the Packers!

Actually, having just seen User:Warden, come on Chicago!

3 and out for the Bears, capped by a sack...Maynard punt.

Tatum Bell with back to back carries for a first down.

Bell for a gain of 2, makes it 2nd and 8.

As I said, when you talk about sucking, you're getting me mixed up with your dad or your uncle. A couple well known 'mos. Like father, like son. You wish my blog sucked. Did you complete high school, loser?

WHOOOOO HOOO!!! Lions are ahead!!

Apparently Kitna woke up, hits Furrey for 17 and a first down

McDonald for 9 to the 21

Bradley for 3 on 2nd and 1 gives DET first and 10 on the 18

Oh yeah, 27-13 LIONS! Bears season? Finito! You don't even have a QB to develop!

Jones totes the rock to the 10 for a gain of 8

Williams with a 5 yard gain on the reception, fumbles out of bounds, 1st and goal.

Detroit wins.

Hey Alex: why don't you look and see who started the argument. He used the H word first in his first sentence, then called me that name first. What do you mean, having just seen userWarden? You want a piece of me, clown? You too can go screw yourself...

Jones totes it in from the 5 to make it 30-20.

Hester returns the kick 15 yards to the 27.

Bears with a quick first down in the no huddle offense.

Griese is gonna have to air one out. And unfortunately, the Lions know it as well.

Griese hits Olson for 12 to the DET 34

Favre may have just thrown away the game for Green Bay.

The NFC's two best teams from last year are about to be a combined 1-6.

Chicago 1st and 10 on the DET 18 with 2 minutes to go trailing by 10.

Warden- Final Warning Tyrone- I know he's asking for it, but don't provoke him

pass complete to the 6

turnover, fumble recovered by the Lions for a touchback.

interesting play call throwing to a lineman...lol

though the play IS under review

play is reversed, Chicago retains posssession.

Bears ball. A faint pulse is left beating...

Griese hits Clark on 4th and 10 for 10 and a first and goal from the 3.

ok or not...pass incomplete for Berrian, now it's 4th down? who knows anymore

I dunno either. My heart is breaking here.

TD - Bears.

FG attempt was good, but Rogers was offside, so 4th and goal from the 1...does Lovie go for 7 or kick the 3

Desmond Clark with the 1 yard TD reception

PAT was good, Detroit 30 Chicago 27 with 52 ticks remaining

onside kick run back 41 yards for a score by Fitzsimmons to make it 36-27, PAT pending.

Did the ball go 10 yards?

apparently this is under review as well. Replay official earning his bucks today

play was upheld for the TD. Hanson kicks the extra point, and DET pretty much locks this one up, 37-27

Nah, the play stood. This one is over. What a disappointment this season has been for the Bears. Really weird that 3/4 of the crowd leaves when the game was only a 3 point difference until that stupid onside kick.

Hester with a 17 yard return plus 5 for DET being offsides, gives the Bears the ball on their 36

Griese moves the team in to DET territory to the 41 on a pass to Berrian.

defensive delay of game on Redding moves the ball to the DET 38

Serious problems for the Bears. And playing Favre next weekend might be real ugly.

NL East Champion Phillies!

TB: you bring out the worst in people. Maybe the football gods wouldn't have come down so hard on your Bears if their fans had any class at all and gave the opposing team a little credit for coming into their supposed big bad house and throwing a big time whoopin' on their butts. The Bears are a joke franchise. A major market city and they've been in exactly TWO Super Bowls! Dallas: 8 Super Bowls, 5 Lombardi trophies. And now that they have their franchise QB in the great Tony Romo, all the haters are gonna show their true colors. Nice trade there, giving your best offensive player Thomas Jones for a swap of 2nd round picks! Are your receivers the worst in the league? Answer: yes. Enjoy the Bears' total collapse. I know I will! I'm done with you.

I have both these defenses on my fantasy team. Yes, I played the wrong one. Good thing Dwayne Bowe showed up big for KC. Go Chiefs!

False Prophet called it.
