BGleas Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 In two weeks I’ve literally gone from “Wentz can be a top 5 QB in the NFL”, to Tank For Trevor!! I’m still not sure sure how much of this to put on Wentz. He’s absolutely been awful this year, but at the same time 3/5 of his projected offensive line is out for the year and once again his top 3 wide receivers are all hurt, and his defense is awful He really has no help, but geez he’s been terrible.

BGleas I understand that you're in pain. But I live in Cincinnati, so forgive me if I say that we have LIVED that pain for basically decades. Just remember the Super Bowl the Eagles won...and be happy. 😂 Ahhh, yes...see what I mean. I've seen this so many times. Totally predictable.

Foles proved why he's the starter moving forward. He threw 4td's but only got credited for 3. Unreal comeback for a team that has only been needing QB play. We'll call this the Nick Foles fame ala Sandberg game. Tons of crazy down the stretch in the NFL. Bills gifted one to the Rams and Rams gifted it back on a BS PI call. Philly playing for a tie is weak. Titans storming back for a win.....God I love football. Go Bears!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't tell from any angle when he "lost" the football...even the referee analyst said you couldn't tell and it should have been left as called on the field. That is the problem with replay...too many times it is overturned when they "think" they know what happened when there isn't indisputable proof. There was not indisputable proof in this case.

IU Scott Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Colts defense scored 16 points and the Jets offense scored 7/ Still upset that the Colts lost to a bad Jacksonville team in week 1. It is not like the schedule has been really difficult with both teams the Colts beat are 0-3. The next 3 games will be tough but are very winnabe with games at the Bears and Browns and at home against the Bengals. Wonder who will fire there coach first the Falcons or the Jets. It seem slike the Falcons afre a good team for 3 quarters then blow big 4th quarter leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is they shouldn't have overturned it if there was nothing that overwhelmingly showed he had intercepted it before Robinson hit the ground...and on every replay you couldn't tell...even the announcers and the former ref said it should have remained because there was not clear evidence to overturn the call. Luckily it didn't matter in the end this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Seeing all the difficulties that the Cowboys are having because their O-line is decimated makes me appreciate even more the Colts line and how Ballard has built his team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I knew the Bears were in trouble early. Mitch was being Mitch but I really didn't see Foles replacing him since Trubisky had led the comeback in week 1. Add to it the Bears were 2-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of having to dummy down a playbook for a guy in year 4. In a matter of moments we got to see what a veteran and smooth qb looks like. That was a huge one for Bears yesterday with Colts coming to town followed by short week game vs Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz is just odd is all I really can offer. So good but he continues to make mistakes and throws he shouldn't....but as you mentioned the Eagles can't keep a skill player or lineman healthy so it's not like you want to throw a rookie qb into that mess either. 8-8 can win that division or I guess 8-7-1 now can win. No need to throw in the towel but Wentz needs to play better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Colts/Bears coming up this week. Must admit before the QB switch I thought the Colts could come in and win. Vegas apparently still thinks so too....but at least with Foles I believe it's going to be a very, very physical and good game to watch. Bears fan first but obviously cheer for the Colts too. Truly a game that will be won in the trenches. I expect Pagano to bring as much pressure as he can all game long on Rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't overly optimistic about Bears winning with Mitch at qb...but I think it could go either way with Foles. Bears need to get a consistent pass rush. I am curious how Foles at QB will impact Robinson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Robinson's production can go up 20% and honestly I feel bad for Cohen but in the less is more department.....his injury paves the way for 18 touches a week for Montgomery and now 6-9 for Patterson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooney has shown some flashes so far...I think he could emerge as a legit threat with a better QB. Robinson/Mooney could be a very good combo and if Miller could consistently catch the ball...that would be a lot of weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to throw in the towel but Wentz needs to play better. I'd argue that there are several QBs that have or have had the talent level of Wentz that fall into that category. He is far from unique in the talent he posses, but QB is about so much more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think the Colts win and control the game from start to finish. I can say with absolute confidence the Chicago Bears are the worst 3-0 team I have ever seen. They should be 0-3 having played the worst schedule in football.

Won't get any argument from this Bears about being close to 0-3....but given the change at QB there's certainly more optimism headed into this week. Regarding game. Control from start to finish? I expect a good one....and considering the Colts lost to a Jaguars team that is still below average I don't think anyone should be speaking in absolute terms from the Colts side of the house.
