Well that was considerably better.

Well after the miserable failure of week 1 against the Green Bay motherfucking Packers, there were... understandably nerves headed to this game against the Chicago Bears. I mean yeah the Bears are not as good as the Packers and they did piss away the game against the Vikings. But perhaps being back home in Detroit now would give the Lions some momentum.
And the momentum started right the fuck away! Detroit would get the ball first plus an out of bounds kickoff let the Lions start at their own 40! And right off the bat they ain't fucking around. A 34 yard pass to St. Brown. We're already in Bear territory. Chipping away a little but more and boom Gibbs scores. It's 7-0 Detroit just like that. Now all we need to do is have our defense... not do fucking squat. A 28 yard touchdown to Odunze and now it's 7 all. But then again last week Chicago scored on their first drive and then lost the game horribly. So the Lions offense is back on the field. It starts with a nice 16 yard pass to St. Brown and... well that's essentially it for the offense. Punting the ball away and thankfully Chicago goes 3 and out here. Kalif Raymond returns Chicago's punt to mid-field! Pretty good return! But nothing will beat the legendary returns we had during the game against the Titans. Boy those were beautiful! The offense here looks a little slow... at first but then here comes Raymond with 14 yards, St. Brown with fucking 32 more and then Mr. Former Bear Montgomery makes it 14-7 to end the 1st quarter! Of course Chicago's offense once again looks unstoppable. That's great ain't it? They're probably going to get another tou-oh wait they fumbled the ball and Detroit got it. Holy shit we have a defense? That's so cool! But now that we have defense, we don't have offense anymore. We go 3 and out and have to punt the ball away. So now Chicago has another chance to run down the field. Starting with a 9 yard run for Zaccheaus to put them 2nd and 1. Yeah it's going to be hard to stop them here... oh wait? What? We did? Caleb Williams throws an incompletion and then get a no yard gain run to make it 4th and 1? Ben Johnson is going for it because all they need is 1 yard? And they didn't get it? WE HAVE A FUCKING DEFENSE? HOLY SHIT!
And we're already in Bears territory! Deep into it. Imagine going for it on your own 37 yard line. That'll bite you in the ass. I'm sure our chances of scoring here is like 99.9%. But what does Jake Bates do? He gets the fucking 0.1%. DAMMIT! We need to stop giving Chicago chances here! Oh wait... we do stop them! Caleb Williams thinks he can just throw the ball away? Lol no say hi to Kerby Joseph for me! And now we get a touchdown! About damn time we turn a turnover into points! 21-7! I like that! So how are we going to stop the Bears this time?... I said how do we stop the Bears this time?... we don't stop the bears this time do we? No. We don't. Of course when we score, they score. And it's 21-14. At least we do get one more offensive shot before halftime. Boy a score here would be VERY IDEAL! Thankfully we do start to march down the field. We are at the Bears 39 after we use our final timeout with 25 seconds left in the half. Gibbs would get the 1st down at the 33 plus go out of bounds to stop the clock. And then... when we need it most... HOOOOOOLY SHIT ISAAC TESLAA! WHAT A CATCH BUT THE CLOCK IS STILL GOING YOU NEED TO HURRY THERE'S SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF-it's okay Goff got the spike down in time. But hold on... what's this? So the original ruling was that TeSlaa was pushed out of bounds but I guess he was in bounds when he was down. And apparently the ref originally called for the clock to be stopped at 16 seconds but it never was so the clock was still going. So they put the clock back at 16 seconds and then did the 10 second runoff to put it at 6 seconds. That would at most give us time for 2 plays. A shot at the end zone and then a field goal. Of course... all we needed was 1 play. St. Brown makes it 28-14! Boy we needed that! Big news for us, Chicago goes 3 and out to start the 2nd half. I like that! Detroit's first 2nd half drive? How about a FUCKING SIXTY-FOUR YARD COMPLETION TO JAMESON WILLIAMS! Holy fucking shit! Unfortunately after that we couldn't make it into the end zone. But at least Jake Bates nails a 34 yarder. Hey... points are points!
Chicago shows a little more light this next go around. But for some fucking reason Ben Johnson thought it was a good idea to go for it on a fucking 4th and 5 at their own 46. Guess what? They didn't get it. Seriously what the fuck was Ben Johnson thinking? And it takes no time for Jamo once again to get a 44 yard touchdown And it's 38-14. Okay... now I am having fun! Chicago can't do a damn thing on their next drive... other than get a chop block penalty, Williams being sacked for a loss of 9 yards and a couple incompletions. Lol yeah good luck trying to convert a 3rd and 34. Hey you wanna see more big plays? How about a 42 yard run for Gibbs. 1st down at the Bears 13. A couple more chip aways later and St. Brown once again with a touchdown! 45-14! Holy shit we are actually blowing out Chicago? In Detroit? A team that we barely beat at home for the past 2 years? I'll remind you... we only beat the Bears last year in Detroit because of Eberflus essentially jacking off instead of calling timeout. And the year before we had to overcome a 26-14 deficit with minutes left in the 4th quarter. I think Detroit has finally had enough with having stressful games against the Bears in their own blue and silver home. And boy they brought out that energy. Chicago would eventually remember how to play offense Odunze with a nice 37 yard completion. The Lions defense would continue to show fight. With my boy Hutchinson sacking down Williams and then Terrion Arnold intercepting the ball. But fuck me Brian Branch get a roughing call. And then Swift scores the touchdown. But at this point... It's 45-21. We have a 24 point lead. Unless something stupid happens. I think we'll be alright. Well thankfully nothing stupid happened at all! Chicago would go for the onside kick... fail horribly... seriously nobody can do a fucking onside anymore. So Detroit's already at the Bears 43. And then after an 8 yard pass to Brock Wright and a 26 yard run by Gibbs, it's 1st and Goal at the 9 and boom... Mr. Sun God St. Brown with his 3rd touchdown of the game! 52 to 21!
After that, it was basically game over. Both teams would put their backup players in and eventually meet in the middle to say GGs as the Lions would take home the win in a HUGE way with a 52-21 final score! Compared to last week? Boy this was much better. I mean yes it was... the Bears. But still. It shows that this Lions team still has it. And hopefully this momentum can carry throughout the season. I mean yeah we're probably going to lose a few more games here and there. But this game gives me a little hope again... and now I realize we play the Baltimore Ravens in week 3... fuck...
