For Tennessee I'd say with another positive test this morning the NFL won't have a choice but to make them forfeit games soon. Especially since the photos surfaced yesterday of them blatantly violating NFL protocols with private practice. Hate it for them but what other choice is left? The other 98% of the league is doing just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Watching an old Colt's game today from the 95 playoff s at San Diego. Just so much difference on how the game is played especially how the game is called by the refs. I would bet that there were 5 hits in that game that today would have drawn a flag for unnecessary roughness. Also how the broadcast is so different with the way the announcers call the game. There are really no graphics on the screen during the game and you have no yellow line for a first down. Last week we were talking about how teams did not make huge plays on offense and did not throw down the field. The Colt's had 5 touchdowns and 3 were for 33,42 and 66 yards.

IU Scott Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 The Colt's injury list don't look very promising for this week. All 3 starting LB's did not practice and Constanzo didn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Interesting win for the Bears this week. As a few mentioned on here we would know more after this week. Our offense played like crap. Defense was ok....and still got a win. As said on Sunday. We won't face a D like Colts again this year. I like 4-1....but I'm assuming beat Brady and his 11-1 record on Thursday night somehow means the Bears are still playing the worst opponents in NFL. Joking aside. Solid win on an off night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucs D line was too much for them to handle. That said, the decision not to run the ball on the last 2 plays before that game winning field goal was puzzling.

To answer the question they just aren't good. When your GM invests high quality picks in TE, RB, QB, and elsewhere for years.....your line takes a beating because it's pieced together via free agency and bad players. Similar to what Grigson did by ending 12's career early....have to have quality line play on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse is our best line guy Daniels has a torn pec which means he's done for year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Not sure you can evaluate Bears' rushing game based on the last two games. Both the Colts and Bucs have excellent defenses, and no surprise that the Bears struggled. I bet most teams would have similar results playing those two teams back to back. In perspective, the first 3 games of the year the Bears rushed for 149, 135 and 130 yards respectively. These numbers, if carried forward, would put them in the top 10 league wise for average yards per game. And remember, the Lions and Falcons games were ones where the Bears rallied from huge deficits, and were passing almost every down to catch up. I am not a Bears fan in the least, but don't think fans should overreact to the last two performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their front 7 are very good and Colts I believe have best d in league so far. We'll see what happens moving forward because obviously 25 yards on the ground isn't going to cut it. Nagy obviously is no stranger to just abandoning the run completely but we'll get Foles killed if we remain this one dimensional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason they fell behind the Lions and Falcons by wide margins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
