The Bears are trending down and the Lions are trending up. This is the Lions year and it will take more than the worst call in sports history to save Da Bears this year.

I posted under a poster that was in a hurry to get the coveted ‘first’ once at Mlive. It was under an article by Killer Kowalski. Thing is, when Tom posted an article, tons of people noticed. Killer always seemed to provoke reactions and intelligent conversation, and being the first to post became something of a challenging game for many. In short, the poster after the ‘first’ instead posted ‘frist’ because he was in such a hurry. I knew the spelling police would be after him, and I could see why he did it. I waited for the next article, and followed that with a ‘frist’ of my own. It did catch on, slowly, and spelling police everywhere don’t like it too much. It was really because of Killer and that poster at Mlive that the tradition was born.

Now, for the latest from around the internet, and more…

Tillman has always been a class act, and usually plays Calvin pretty well.

And yes, I am a Lions fan.

@nesuperfan

Look up reality. The numbers do not “lie”.

Since you need it spelled out for you:

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

P.S. Peyton is better than Brady.

My work here is done.

Tillman has done things most CB cant. Will he shut down Megatron? NO. but the Bears have no awnser for Nate B, Tony S, Brandon P, and a big surprise in Titus Young. Not to mention Best taking passes out of the backfield. I just see way to much fire power. The Lions have the best overall offensive guns in the league as a whole. Oh, and lets not forget the SUHperb defence. Sorry Bear fans you will not win this one on a BS call in the endzone. (last years phantom incomplete pass for a game winning TD). Lions go 5-0

Tillman and the Bears have actually shut down Johnson in just about every meeting.

In 7 games against the Bears Johnson has 33 receptions, 484 yards and 3 TDs.

That only comes out to 4.7 receptions, 69 yards and 0.42 TDs a game against the Bears defense.
133 of those yards came in one game in 2009.

They have probably done a better job against him than any other team so far.
We will find out if that continues Monday night.

Couldn’t agree more..and the fact that he’s snail slow for a corner doesn’t help either.

By: dstep24

dstep24 — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 23:15:05 +0000

Charles Tillman is one of the best at forcing fumbles…doesn’t help when the guy with the ball is already in the end zone.

What Charles Tillman needs to be one of the best at, is playing corner. Unfortunately, he’s not.

Take care,

He needs to do it a little longer to be considered better than Fitz and Andre Johnson. All due respect of course.

The jump ball in the end zone will be like the fifth grader holding the ball over his head on the playground while the third graders all jump and flail at it.

P.S. don’t get me wrong, he is outstanding, but being THE new buzzword name among receivers, does not automatically make you the best.

HUH!!

Wes Welker…..40 catches…..616 yards…..5 TD’s
Ave. per catch-15.4…..Yards per game-154

C. Johnson…..24 catches…..324 yards…..8 TD’s
Ave. per catch-13.4…..Yards per game-80

You do the math.
__________________________________

6 up, 23 down so far. Apparently, 23 don’t like facts very much.

The only category he leads in is TD’s, and most of that is because Brady has more targets to spread it out to: Welker 5, Gronkowski 5, Hernandez 2 (through 2 games).

Megatron is bigger, but Welker is actually harder to contain so far.

By: comeonnowguys

comeonnowguys — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:45:16 +0000

Welker? WELKER? Are you kidding me with this? This is why I hate fantasy football sometimes.

Welker runs great routes and is consistently good, but he can’t go up and get the ball in triple coverage. What CJ is doing–what he has done throughout his career–is just re-damh-diculous.

Find me someone west of the Hudson River that would take Welker over Calvin Johnson, and I’ll show you a damn fool.

Not a Lions fan.

It’s a different ballgame when you are in the spot light.

He did well against aquieb taleb (sp?) Loll I probably butured spelling that name. Not sure but I think he might be the tallest (good) cb in the NFL. Tillman is a good cb but no matter what he makes ALL defensive backs look like little boys compared to him.

GO LIONS!!

———————
Welker 5 x 6 = 30
Johnson 8 x 6 = 48

Looks like Johnson scored more points than Welker. What’s your point?
PS you only get points for yardage in FANTASY. This is the real NFL.

He isnt even the best Johnson in the league. Andre Johnson has been the best for a long time, Calvin’s 4 few epic performances arent a large enough sample size to say he is the best….yet.

Don’t give the Lions anything to use as motivation against you. Megatron has earned respect, it’s good to see Tillman give it to the man.

Should be a hell of a game. I know the Lions haven’t beaten the Bears in a few years, but even the year the Lions went 0-16, both games were hard fought slogs. The Lions fight hard. They have earned this Bears fan’s respect.

Go Bears!
