Do you think the Bears take down the Lions handily this weekend? Seems like division opponents are always scrappy but we clearly seem to have an edge on them. Also, what’s your prediction for the Bears record when it’s all said and done?

No division game is ever a cakewalk. That’s just how things go. The Bears have beaten the Lions once in their last 10 games. So they have no right to overlook Detroit. Don’t forget this is a team that beat New England and Green Bay, teams the Bears lost to. Chicago can absolutely win this game. They’re getting a lot of key players back and the Lions have been all over the place lately, allowing 10 sacks on Matthew Stafford last week. If they play a good 60 minutes, they should win.

What’s more important (in your opinion) at this moment… seeing if Mack is near or 100% healthy or Floyd making more contributions going forward.?

At this point, we know who Mack is. Even if he’s only 85% right now he’ll be a factor in the pass rush. He’s that good. The Bears need another pass rusher to step up. Floyd was supposed to be the guy. He’s a former 1st round pick with a world of ability. Yet he has no sacks this year. That’s on him. The excuses need to stop. If he can’t start getting the quarterback on the ground, then the Bears need to make plans for going to find somebody who can.
