    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.

    You and me both. I feel like Good Will Hunting at the chalkboard trying to plan for these contingencies. On top of Melvin Gordon being one of my RB's (game is in jeopardy) I also have Ronald Jones in another league....and even if Fournette is out I'm not keen on starting him vs Bears rush defense. I'm honestly looking at going Latavius Murray, Chase Edmonds in a couple leagues this week because of matchups and games potentially being postponed.

    I picked up both L Bell and Johnson on waivers, and have to wait to see who is playing and what games may be postponed. Right now, I will have Carson at one RB position and will have to choose between the above two, Fournette and Miles Gaskins, as Chubb is hurt. Not liking the Bucs matchup either, and doesn't help that Fournette is a game time decision.

    On top of all that, my QB is Josh Allen, and I also have Diggs. If the Bills-Titans game is postponed, my other qb-Stafford, is on bye and I'll have to shop the waiver wires. At first glance, my best options are Carr and Herbert. Not particularly thrilled with either.

    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,

    Dallas would have a hard time stopping a good college offense. 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

    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.

    when I read KoB's comment, I thought to myself that quite possibly the Colts have had the easiest schedule thus far this year..and I'm a Colts' fan

    We just adopted a cat last night! His family moved about 6 weeks ago and left him in the apartment (I hate people). Luckily, someone rescued him and he ended up with an adoption agency that we already have a relationship with b/c of our dachshund Greta (RIP).

    We haven't had a cat for a couple of years and it's kind of weird, but he's a very cool dude. I expected him to hide for the first 72 hours, but he's already venturing about and trying out his new surroundings. He's three, so not a kitten, but still kind of lanky.

    Our remaining dachshund Chloe LOVES him and so wants to be his best friend. He's definitely not sure about that, but really adjusting well already.

    His name is Otis - full name is Mr. Otis Mittington b/c he's a grey/white tuxedo cat with white paws.

    Otis, my man!

    If you’re familiar with Otis Day and the Nights 😁

    Oh yeah, you really didn't hear about them in the 70's.  Racking my brain...Casper? 

    Ozzie Newsome played in the late 70's.

    Russ Francis

    John Mackey finished his career in the early 70's

    Charlie Sanders

    Jackie Smith

    Charle Young

    Billy Joe Dupree

    Of these listed, imo Francis, Newsome and Sanders would have been most similar to modern day Tight Ends.
