Chicago Bears vs Indianapolis Colts Game Thread

Forward progress has stopped existing

 

Is Caleb holding onto the ball a tick too long, or are routes not opening up on time? It's clear, on multiple plays, that the ball is late.

 

Head coach, OC, GM, president… all across the board.

Fucking amateur hour.

 

he has had plays where he’s held the ball too long

in my opinion that fumble wasn’t one of them

 

Why is every shot of Caleb on the sidelines just him sitting and talking to other kids - other players that aren't longtime vets, instead of coaches, reviewing tape, etc? Again, this offense just isn't doing the things that a serious, NFL-level offense does. I'm not saying Caleb has to ONLY be looking at film, but wouldn't you want to watch that last play and see, "Could I have gotten that ball out sooner? Was there anyone else open?" etc.

 

A good GM would have a blocking TE on this roster.

What does Marcedes Lewis add at this point in his career besides 1-2 false starts per game?

 

Yeah, I'd need to see it back to say for sure. It felt late to me, just sitting on the couch, but that also might just be my own anxiety, knowing how bad the blocking is.

 

This is not a serious football team / franchise. More people just have to come to grips with it.

Ownership / management isn't serious about the on field product. The front office isn't serious about the on field product. The coaching staff isn't serious about the on field product.

It's a comedy of errors - people who are out of their depth and / or people who have their priorities out of whack and don't understand what it takes to actually be good at this level.

It just sucks. I genuinely can't believe that Viriginia is still alive, and we're still saddled with Nepotism running the team. Because if a new owner were to come in, serious about the on field product, everyone would be fired today.

 

But we got Everett. That was a huge offseason move!

 

@EvertonBears - there's another massive misthrow.

 

Now I remember why I drink.

 

lol ‘because they’ve wasted 2 timeouts’

 

@EvertonBears Hey, another over throw.

 

That ball shouldn't have been thrown. Got lucky there.

 

For the love of God would this game just end

 

Stat padding

where was that playcall the first time on the goal line?

 

Fucking EXACTLY!

 

Okay, 3rd and 10 in the redzone. If you score, you still TECHNICALLY have a chance. Moore just left the field because of an injury.

You go 5 wide (despite not having Moore on the field), then have Rome run a motion into a screen as an obvious dummy route, fooling absolutely no one. So, your two best pass catchers are either on the sideline or being used as a decoy in the most ineffective way possible.

The two point conversion, and now this. Waldron is showing that, even when he HAS TIME, he still can't act as a competent playcaller. And yes, I get it - the OL sucks and Caleb has been rough - but boy, talk about NOT HELPING.

 

Dont onside kick boot it thru the endzone!

 

Buried behind the four straight shotgun runs.
