[Bamboo Bill]

Terrible challenge. Indy needs to score on this next possession.

BAM!

With the Panthers, Bucs, and Eagles coming up, the Bears can't afford to let this slip away now.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Good thing Manning sucks under pressure. We've got this sewn up.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Nice tackle, Swires.

 

[Jerry Lawler]

This doesn't look like the Marvin Harrison I've enjoyed watching for so many years. The fumble was uncharacteristic of him, but I can't remember ever seeing him muff a catch the way he did at the end of the 3rd quarter. I'm still hoping he's just rusty, but it's a stretch.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Dang, that was a good catch.

 

[Dr Phil's Posse]

Is Dallas Clark playing in this game?

 

[SeaDogStat]

Big hit on Addai...a little woozy

 

[Gottabesweet]

Addai hurt - Not sure the injury

 

[skillz]

Is Dallas Clark playing in this game?

Left in the first half with a knee injury and won't return.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Is Dallas Clark playing in this game?

Left with a knee injury earlier.

 

[gilpdawg]

Addai hurt - looks like his knee is busted?

Nah, he got jacked up.

 

[NatronIsMean]

Dude that Urlacher Old Spice commercial. Good stuff.

He doesn't look like the old dominant Marvin Harrison, but he is still getting open all over the place, and does have 7 catches for 68 yards through three quarters, which isn't bad at all.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Honor do-ell. Good stuff.

 

[T Bell]

DE-NIED.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Rhodes just lost an Honor Do-ell.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Man the Colts O-line is bad.

As an Addai owner, I'm mad he's hurt, he gets banged up a lot but I'm glad Rhodes didn't convert.

 

[-X-]

Yeah, Ogre!

 

[flapgreen]

This is going exactly as I thought it would with Orton. He is who we thought he was.

On a good note, the defense is looking explosive and the turnover machine they were a couple years ago. I don't expect them to get back to that point, but I'm very happy and shocked with how they've played. Running game also looking good tonight.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Forte is very impressive.

 

[boubucarow]

OGun is playing like an all-pro against the run.

The Bears are killing on third and shorts and are mixing up their plays well in those situations.

 

[T Bell]

This is going exactly as I thought it would with Orton. He is who we thought he was.

What's wrong with his Trent Dilfer immitation? This team will win more than it loses with him doing that with its defense and special teams, and if Forte continues to perform like he has tonight.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Forte = shifty

 

[Peyton Marino]

Addai is fine, he just got hit a little hard and had to sit out a play.

 

[T Bell]

Holy crap. If the Bears score here they might actually win this game.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Going deep on the 3rd and 1. I love it.

 

[Qtip Callahan]

Forte = shifty

Forte is impressing me. This may be the best ever crop of rookie RBs..

 

[T Bell]

@ the TD going to a no-name FB.

If I was a Bears fan, Id be more concerned about MIN and GB than those teams. Im not on the MIN going far bandwagon, but theyll be good and I think GB will be right there as well.I dont think its even arguable that both of their offenses are better than CHI eitherThe Bears need their D to look like it has thus far 4 the whole season

 

[-X-]

YAHHHHHHHHHHHH McKie!!!

 

[RBM]

Absolutely stunned right now.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

@ the TD going to a no-name FB.

Don't be a hater because you weren't shark enough to start Jason McKie this week.

 

[mr. furley]

losing to Orton = the low point of Manning's career?

Minnesota and Green Bay might just be the two of the best few teams in the conference, but CAR, TB, and PHI are the next three weeks. The Bears need to show well the first month to come out of it at 2-2. This win is huge in putting them in a position to be in contention.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

One more Bears DEF/ST score before the end of the game. Mark it down.

If forte keeps this up, i agree. orton can manage the ball and we will win some games. The trouble is that Orton sucks badly with anything else. he can't win a game or carry the team in a single game, when he's going to need to. IMO, he's terrible but looks much better than he has in the past. I'm not happy with him playing but he's not doing a bad job so far. There will come a time where is abysmal states will catch up and kill us. He's an average qb at best and won't win many games for his teams. I understand that he only has to manage the game but what about the guys around him on offense. Most of them aren't very good either. Are they supposed to make up the difference? The entire offense pretty much stinks and there's no one to pick up the slack, unless Forte comes in a sets the league on fire.

 

[boubucarow]

The Bears decided to stop the run and pressure Manning. The Colts had some great looks down the field when the pressure didn't get to Manning and the coverage was beaten, but could not connect. It worked today but a sharper Colts offense would have hit them deep a few times and changed the game completely.

 

[The Ref]

Harrison = PPR monster this year?

 

[GoBirds]

Have to go TD here or would they take a FG?

 

[Jerry Lawler]

Trying to conjure up the ghosts of Indy's monster comeback against Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football a few years ago.

ahhh...misunderstandingdidnt no about the schedule, when you said coming up, I interpreted it as "up and coming" as far as likely or possible playoff teamsthats def a tough stretch though. Id rather have that than the stretch where we play IND, DAL, SD, and JAX in a 5 week period though

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Headbutt...come on.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Sorgi should have started.

 

[The Ref]

Well this is capping off a strange first week (and it's not even over yet).

 

[RBM]

Orton/Forte >>>> Grossman/Benson

 

[Jerry Lawler]

what a nightmare.

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

Orton - 8 / 26 - 78 yds - 2 INT's

 

[mr. furley]

Orton - 8 / 26 - 78 yds - 2 INT's

i nailed it. what are you talking about, newb?
