00:00We start with the early game, and as much as the Lions have been smashing everybody,
00:07Cam, did you know that the Lions have lost seven in a row on Thanksgiving Day?
00:15Yes.
00:16How about that?
00:17I know.
00:18And did you know also that I believe the Bears have beaten them in three of those seven games?
00:23Straight up.
00:24The Bears have been the opponent and beat them three of those seven times that they've
00:27lost consecutively.
00:30They are 10-1 this year.
00:32They are off to an outstanding start.
00:34So Dan Campbell, distractions this week?
00:37You bet that there's a few, but we have to put those aside.
00:40Block out all the distractions.
00:42You know, that's one thing.
00:43Distractions are on us, not on them.
00:45We got all our family here, friends, all that.
00:47You got to block it out.
00:48Tell them you love them, and you'll see them after the game.
00:50See you later.
00:51You know, that's kind of the challenge with all this.
00:54So, um, you know, but this team's been, I mean, they've lost a couple of heartbreakers
01:01here the last two weeks, but they've been in a bunch of these tight races, and they
01:05just keep coming back for more.
01:07So they're hungry for a win, and we got our hands full.
01:11Dan Campbell, send the family to the hotel after the game.
01:14He's like, listen, tell them, tell your family, I don't care, whatever's on the menu, cook
01:20whatever the hell you want.
01:21All right?
01:22So he's texting me Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, saying, I'm out of this.
01:24Do you want this?
01:25Is there something special?
01:26Make Thanksgiving dinner, and I'll see you after the game.
01:29That's Dan's advice.
01:30Just stay away from the family.
01:32They want folks, and you know he wants to finally win a game, because it's been brought
01:36up to him, and I think it bothers him a little bit, because they've lost some close games
01:41the last few years.
01:42You know, that Packer game last year, 29-22.
01:45Remember the Bill game the year before that, 28-25?
01:48Close game, 16-14 to the Bears the year before that.
01:52They've lost some close games on Thanksgiving, so maybe, Cam, you might be on to something.
01:57I know that I'd maybe try to sway you a little bit, because I just think the Lions are a
02:01complete wrecking ball right now, but this is a very, very big number for a turkey day.
02:08Ten and a half for the Lions, with a 48 and a half total.
02:14I'm taking the Bears right now.
02:16I'm not sure if they're going to win the game outright, but you are kind of changing my
02:18opinion.
02:20Campbell basically says, hey, family, you guys stay at hotels.
02:22I don't want you in my domicile, in my home, bothering us before the game.
02:26We'll deal with you.
02:27If we beat the Bears, then we'll have a party afterwards.
02:29That's what he should have said.
02:30Like, at the Campbell Estates, everybody comes down, and I'll cook a turkey dinner for the
02:34team.
02:35We'll have a party.
02:36But anyway, take care of business first.
02:38They haven't been good on Thanksgiving.
02:40Lots of points, Carver.
02:41But this is a different Detroit team, as you mentioned.
02:43They're murdering everybody.
02:45Very tough, though, to lay that kind of number.
02:47I got to take the Bears.
02:48Probably put the Lions in a super teaser or something.
02:52I believe that they are on a clear mission this year.
02:56I think that the directive is out.
02:59The way they lost the NFC title game to the Niners with a lead, and they blew that game.
03:04They have come into this year looking to put their foot down and say, we're the best team
03:11in the NFC.
03:12This is a national stage Thanksgiving day, a day that they've had problems with the past
03:17two years.
03:18So you know that that's also going to be driven home by Campbell these next couple of days.
03:23I know it's a lot, but I'm willing to go after it, Cam.
03:29And here's the other side of the coin.
03:32The Bears suck, and they've now lost, I think it's five in a row they've lost altogether.
03:39And two or three of them, Cam, just completely excruciating.
03:42Last week, wild game, they come all the way back and lose to the Vikings.
03:46The week before that, they get the field goal blocked against the Packers.
03:50The start of their losing streak, the Hail Mary with Washington.
03:54When are they going to just let go of the rope and say, forget it?
03:57We're done.
03:58Great point.
03:59Another short week on the road.
04:01If they don't get off to a good start, like Detroit goes up 17-0 or 14-0, you know what
04:06I mean?
04:07The Bears just might say, sayonara, get me to the turkey.
04:10We're done.
04:11I'm checking out triple defense now.
04:12That's it.
04:13You're right.
04:14They have to come out hot or they're done.
04:16We're done.
04:17We're done.
04:18We're done.
