Chicago vs Indy thread (1 Viewer)

[Spartans346]

I'm surprised with the ol being so weak for the bears, they didn't go all out to get Willie Anderson. He would've been a huge help.

 

[mr. furley]

is the bears D good or did someone slip Indy players roofies before the game?

Saturday is definitely missed here...

Diem and Lilja as well

 

[whole-show]

Hey not to highjack this thread, but does anyone have a .gif of the Forte run or know where to find it. I want to see it as he is on my team and I missed the run. TIA!

 

[NatronIsMean]

my goodness is Orton a horrible QB

Believe it or not, that's not Orton, that's Manning you're watching.

Awesome-ly played.

All those who bashed the Bears all off-season, your crow is served. Bears look better than the Skins, Lions and Seahawks, all of whom played inferior teams on the road and got man handled.

The Giants at New York are "an inferior team"?

I edited it...sorry. I meant inferior to the Colts. The Colts have ALWAYS started at least 7-0....that is the best homefield in all of football in Sept and Oct.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

3rd and 5.. I don't like the draw esp. against a quick defense....

Hester does make 5 yard play exciting.. I agree.

Gordon> hey

Gordon?

I may be a little intoxicated but wth does this mean.. Robby Gordon, Flash Gordon... Gordon's fish sticks?

This is a football board, so naturally we're referring to the former QB of the New York Jets.

football board? GO PELE ! ! He played for a NY football team also

The right side of the Bears OL is owning this game

Can CHI actually win this?!?!

Looks possible, but that D needs to keep it up

You know that Big Bang thing? The Colts were 7-0 that year.

No. Pretty much still impossible.

Orton should make the Pro Bowl if he keeps this up.Pretty sure he's a top 3 QB in the NFL right now. He's outperforming Manning at Indy. Nobody does that.

With a group of WRs in CHI you could probably do a reality show or something

 

[boubucarow]

Kreutz, Garza, and Tait with help from Desmond Clark are routinely dominating the Colts line on running plays. Forte is obviously much better than Benson. Good vision plus quick feet and pushes the pile forward. Orton has actually made a few good throws. It was nice to see them actually put the ball in Orton's hands in the second quarter. The last throw to Olsen is encouraging.

On defense, the only flaw is the blitz is not reaching Manning consistently and the secondary is getting burned when it doesn't. Luckily, the Colts are missing some shots. OGun and Alex Brown are playing well at the ends especially against the run. Harrison blew up Diem on that play before the safety for the sack.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Gotta be impressed with Forte thus far. Good thing I avoided any and all Bears in all three leagues I am in.

 

[timschochet]

I don't mean to dim the enthusiasm of Bears fans (if you can't be enthusiastic when you're ahead in Week 1, you're not a football fan) but didn't they have a pretty nice performance against a very strong AFC team in week 1 of last year?

 

[gilpdawg]

Well that was friggin dumb.

Hester reading his press clippings at the half...

The defense did but the offense was horrible. And Hester just fooled himself.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Hester, you big dummy.

 

[mr. furley]

Hester = tricky

 

[prosopis]

Hester makes the DA play of the week.

Yes against Chargers. But we lost Brown, Dusty in 1st half too.

what's your point?

 

[boubucarow]

I expect it to be very difficult for the Bears to pull this one out.

They peak early?

 

[NagurskiToKarr]

Yeah, they dug themselves a huge hole to only be leading by 9.

The Colts are too good of an offense to miss that many good chances all game. Unless the Bears shore up their first half issues, the defense will give up points and the offense will have to play well (which is our issue, isn't it).

Get back in the FFA.

Not a Bears fan, but not really. They lost 14-3 to the Chargers.

Amazing how many people hate the Bears

I agree with this. A semblance of a pass rush would be nice.

Furley loves the Bears.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Come on.

 

[EmerilLIVE]

That was well played by Manning & Harrison.

 

[NagurskiToKarr]

Why is every Colts receiver a giant pansy?

 

[mr. furley]

been wearing my Dennis McKinnon jersey all day

 

[boubucarow]

That is too many calls favoring the Colts so far.

Having said that, we are not covering their receivers.
