NFL Opens Counseling Center To Help Bears Fans Cope With Devastating Blowouts
In an effort to provide much-needed psychotherapy services and professional support to local Chicago communities, the NFL officially unveiled a new counseling center Thursday for Bears fans struggling to cope with devastating blowouts. “With this new facility, which is open 24 hours a day, fans will be able to come in and talk through feelings of severe depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and hopelessness with our highly trained staff in a supportive, confidential setting,” said NFL spokesman Greg? Aiello, noting that patients have the option of speaking to therapists one-on-one or joining a group session to help them come to terms with a disastrous Bears performance. “Of course, the center is not just for those suffering in the immediate aftermath of a particularly difficult or traumatic loss. Patients may also receive care when the team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the front office offers a new contract to an underperforming player, or any other such issue arises within the Bears organization that causes significant emotional pain and mental anguish. Our message to depressed or suicidal Bears fans is clear: You are not alone, and help is here.” Aiello went on to say that while the NFL chose to place its flagship counseling center in the city of greatest need, plans are in place to soon open similar facilities in Jacksonville, Oakland, and Tampa Bay.

I hate to say many good things about Josh McDaniels, but...
If Kris still posted regularly here he'd be all over this tweet.

We dont need a Lions thread, we have the "You're Fired" thread. Usually that suffices.

I think for a couple of reasons:
To prevent Cutler from getting the Bears TD and passing record.
To preserve what trade value he has against a good Detroit DL

Yeah, it has to be some crazy reasons like these, because Clausen, to quote Charles Barkley, is turrible.

The Lions losing to a back up QB in a meaningless game that could clinch a playoff spot is possibly the most Lions thing ever.

If we had a decent defense, I'd say there was a chance. This will be ugly.

Keep yourself occupied, try and ignore that a game is going on, and view any lead as a pleasant surprise. That's how I handle things- still.
