Quiet confidence in Daniel being able to have a nice game against a bad detroit secondary. Hopefully the Defense takes control again and wills us to 8-3.

FWIW their rookie sensation Kerryon Johnson is also out, will have to lean on Blount and Riddick.

We don't need Chase to be great to win this game. We have won games where Mitch struggled. So hopefully defense along with Howard/Cohen steps up tomorrow. But playing away in Detroit on a short week I could see defense slipping a bit in this one.

Yeah, there's a reason he's in his 30s and has 480 career passing yards. I think the Lions win this one. Hope I'm wrong. 

One of those reasons is he had a run of incredibly healthy QBs ahead of him. 

gonna need some defensive or ST scores to win I think

That’s true. But if he were as good as the Twitter guys are trying to say he is, he would have gotten a shot as a starter somewhere in the past decade. That’s my point.

Whatever happens, it's very nice that they took care of business at home, so if they do lose tomorrow, they are still in a good spot.  

I've seen so much on Twitter about how Daniel knows the system up & down and this is why they are paying him $5 million a year.  All I can think about is 2 career starts & 78 passes in 8 years, and the name Jonathan Quinn pops in my head.  ?

Agreed but then I remember that this is not the Bears of Old.  This is a system that randoms have the opportunity to come in and play solid to great. 

Guys, come on. His name is Chase Daniel, not Daniels. Don’t be ignorant.

I don’t know what the twitter guys are saying but I think Daniel May very well be at that Ryan Fitzpatrick level he just never got a shot.

Stafford's best games are on Thanksgiving but he also had Calvin, Tate, and Jones in the past.

Agreed. That's why I mentioned Jon Quinn. Not sure if the younger guys would remember him, he was praised year after year as the smartest backup and the best QB mentor to have on the sideline. Then one year the Bears ran into major QB trouble,  he actually had to play a few games and was basically Nathan Peterman. Never signed another NFL contract

I wish that Daniels had Jeffries to throw too still!

Fitzpatrick has gotten plenty of shots

If Howard isn't gonna get carries on a day like today, then they really should have traded him earlier.

A team with great interior linemen is a touch matchup for him. Their rushing stats are misleading because teams have had more success against them running outside (with guys like Cohen), and before they acquired Damon Harrison.

Burton has been awful. His worst game as a Bear.

Said it numerous times. Eddie Jackson is Ryan Pace's best draft pick. If that kid doesn't make the pro bowl...

DA BEARS!!!

HUUUUUUGE WIN!  Eddie Action Jackson with another huge play.  The last 1st down was simply awesome with Daniels carrying Cohen across the 1st down marker.  Daniel with a nice game...LOVED IT!!!  Thankful!!!

The Bears are GOOD!!!! 

You cannot understate this win.  Winning on the road, in a short week with a backup QB who has a microscopic amount of first team snaps.  Outstanding.  Great work.  

I'm in love with the Chicago Bears and I don't care who knows about it!

Agreed. I fully expected to lose one of the last two games, and since we beat Minnesota, I saw this as a probable loss. But there are just far too many playmakers on our defense for that to have happened. 

 

Roquan Smith has really been a major presence on the field the past month or two. And hes maybe the 5th or 6th best player on the defense? So awesome.
