"Take that, Mike Martz. Take that," Brandt said on Good Morning Football. "Everyone who's just been absolutely defiling them before they even play a game, let the games be played. They got talented people and talented coaches and they just rocked the Niners in the second half and ran all over."
Looks like Mike is eating his words although we don't want to speak too soon. Consistency is what is going to pull us over the hump this season.
Martz made an interesting point. The '08 Lions had one offensive weapon in Calvin Johnson and a consistent 1,000-yard running back in Kevin Smith, but no one else to support them. Those two seemed like the doppelgängers for this year's Darnell Mooney and David Montgomery, respectively.
The Lions having a young QB likely won't assist the team much this year. The Bears however have proven they can rally after starting the game down ten and rallying to a muddy win.
"They won against a Niners team in a game in the conditions that just lends itself to Niner football -- run, push around, play defense," Brandt said. "We got to play by Eddie Jackson! What's up 2018? It's great to see you again. This is the kind of thing the Bears do. They make plays. They got some really talented players."
