#Bears HC Ben Johnson on winning vs. the Bucs despite five turnovers:
“I shared this with the guys. My dad sent me a quote: ‘Only mediocre people can be at their best all the time.’”

@Spenmorax I’m a Brad homer usually disagree with a lot of the shit he gets
But this just tells me they had no competition to get one, and it didn’t have to be a blue chip guy either
Sure we can still win in the regular season but is the secondary sustainable against playoff teams
@the_goffense Who knows how healthy we stay THIS year. On top of that we play the NFC & AFC west next season. I’m not a doom/gloom guy but everyone’s caught up on the winning the regular season we need a secondary that can go against elite QB’s in the post season
•season isn’t over
•Lions still have a talented team
•the defense looks better
•1 win from 1st place
But
•defense looked better against bad QBs
•probably don’t beat the Vikings if Cousins played
•if our goal is the Super Bowl can we hold against elite QBs in post season?
I’m a Brad Bot.
I think it’s fucking criminal — in what was arguably the most active month of in season trades in league history — to not have done more. I wasn’t even asking for a Blockbuster.
It’s completely indefensible IMO. Defend it if you wish, but I won’t be.
@ChimRitchels I’m never the one to complain but man I didn’t need them to go for a blue chip guy. There’s little room to breathe in this division and we can only hope Chicago and Minnesota didn’t tip the scales too much in their favor with their moves. Lions lose that game if Cousins played
We still play Caleb Williams twice, Jordan Love and now Kirk Cousins in their stadiums.
Absolutely no excuse to try and improve the defense especially after losing an all pro LB.
Especially when your elite offense seems to not be carrying the team lately.
Remember I don’t know shit
But I speculated that maybe Kerby won’t just outright retire because we’ll take his money back.
If he’s medically retired by the Lions it’s a different story but first they have to see for sure that he’s done. Hence the stretched process
Not sure how much farther Brian Flores can carry the Vikings
All that blitzing has to take a physical toll on the players eventually, which shows late in these games, combined with the defense being on the field 70% of the time, eventually they just can’t keep up anymore
@DavidHarns I was a lil emotional after the game tbh
Hadn’t seen the Spartans beat Michigan since my daughter was hardly months old. Trying not to wake her when K9 was running all over
Now she’s screaming GO GREEN GO WHITE with me
