They will be underdogs in every single non-division game the remainder of the season. Might make the NFL re-visit how they seed for the play-offs.

5fouls Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 The only path to an 8-8 division winner I see is if the Cowboys sweep all 6 division games and beat 2 of 3 from the Cardinals, Vikings, and Bengals. The only home game among those 3 games is the Cardinals. Their other remaining non-conference foes are the Steelers, Ravens, and 49ers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring as much as they have and still losing is atrocious... not that I am complaining. Jerra is definitely not getting his money’s worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I'm not saying the Cowboys will do that. I'm just saying that if they get their defense fixed, they have a chance with 3 beatable non-conference teams on the schedule. The other 3 teams in the division are so bad, they have no chance.

Absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage as you said you would. Hopefully Darius is ok....but Colts are a very solid team. Just need more from Rivers. Regarding my Bears. Nothing to hang your hat on from defense....from an offensive perspective....specifically play calling. Do something Nagy. Colts owned your a-- at the line and you wouldn't change a thing. No misdirection...no vertical...nada. I know we'll get better with more reps but damn be a tad more imaginative. Short week for Bears. Brady on short week is like 11-1 or something stupid in his lifetime. Yeah that game was boring to watch. I expected more creativity from the offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Luke warm take: the Colts have the best interior lineman in football on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Rivers has been pressured on 17.5% of his dropbacks, Bucker has gotten pressure on 13.5% of pass plays. And the Colts are second in qb pressure and blitz the least in the league. If the Houston and Buckner stay healthy the Colts can compete with anyone.

Yeah, if you win the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball then you have the potential to go very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Bears were a huge disappointment. Defense has been decent but not great and offense...well...we all know about the lack of offense. I will say the Colts have a better defense than I thought. They have been playing mostly same time slot as Bears, so this was the first chance I have had to watch them in entirety. Now that this game is over, I can go back to rooting for them the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like facing Brady....but with quick turnaround there isn't time to lament our play calling and execution from yesterday. If it wasn't for final drive Bears would have had 28 yards on ground and ARob with barely 30 yards. First time I got to watch Colts myself. Very fast, very physical on defense and owned both sides of the line. As a Colts fan every other week my concern is the concern of every NFL team. QB play. Rivers has to make some of those throws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
