W

Bears should roll, which is why that +1.5 line scares me. I know the Bears offense hasn't looked good.

Neither has Richardson with the Colts. He has either hit big or nothing when throwing this year. I don't think the secondary is going to get beat deep, so that doesn't leave him much.

Bears defense is easily top-10 and might even be elite top-5 ish.. nothing is elite about Indy so that alone has me leaning towards a W here.


Hopefully we see another step forward from Caleb (15-18 last week when he wasn’t blitzed), it would be nice to see him connect a couple of deep passes and finally throw a TD pass too for good measure. This game should be a step backwards in terms of opponent quality and that should provide the Bears with some opportunities to clean some stuff up. Would like to see the run game established early and not abandoned. Would also like to see Waldron stop fucking around with the personnel and just keep the best guys out there unless they need a breather.. in other words I don’t want to see Everette out there in place of Kmet unless Kmets gassed.

If the rule you followed lead you to this, of what use was the rule?

I think the Colts win a narrow one. I need to see more from the offensive line to say this Bears team is good enough to beat a peer opponent on the road without a lot going their way.

If you are a team as fatally flawed as the Bears are at offensive line it takes a lot of special teams, defensive and/or quarterback magic to get the ball in the end zone. At home I say the Bears get probably get enough of that juice to beat the Colts, on the road I say they don’t.

Indy 20 Bears 12. No TD’s for the beloved.

Bears 27, Colts 16 on the strength of defense/ST scoring

If I were the Colts, I would blitz the Bears every down until they show that they can beat it consistently. Chances are, they won't be able to.

Colts 19
Bears 16

Eberflus revenge game. Bears 17-6

Caleb chips a painted fingernail on the first possession. It's all downhill from there, folx.

Colts 23
Bears 7

Lots of groin.

why blitz? Bears couldn't even handle a simple 4 man rush in week 1.

Williams was far worse against the blitz than he was against a standard rush.
