When Bears coordinators meet the media on Thursdays, it's the only opportunity for fans to hear from Bears top defensive guy, Dennis Allen. All season long though; Allen refuses to answer questions about the previous game. Win or lose, he stays consistent. There are questions though to be answered about his defensive giving up nearly 900 yards in the last two games. This week, the Bears host the Lions who in week 2 put 52 on Allen's guys.

It's Friday so we share some of your feedback to the show and we present our lists of the bottom 10 or most dubious Lions of all-time.
