Week 5: Bears at Colts GAME THREAD

[richig07]

Doubtful: Jay Cutler (thumb), Eddie Goldman (ankle), Jeremy Langford (ankle), Deiondre Hall (ankle)

None of these players participated in practice Friday.

Questionable: Eddie Royal (calf), Charles Leno (illness), Leonard Floyd (calf), Tracy Porter (knee), Ka’Deem Carey (hamstring), Alshon Jeffery (knee), Zach Miller (ribs), Jonathan Bullard (shoulder), Nick Kwiatkoski (elbow), Danny Trevathan (thumb), Willie Young (knee/ankle), Sherrick McManis (hamstring)

Missing Royal would really be a blow, IMO. At least we'll see what Braverman has, if that's the case.

I don't know... I was optimistic about this game earlier in the week, but with all of this criticism Indy's staff is getting. All of these roster moves they've made cutting guys. It really seems like this is just the wrong time to catch this team. They're going to come out with a chip on their shoulder, and REALLY want this one.

Wish we would have had them a week earlier than we do...

The new injury designations are fucking stupid. Getting rid of Probable was dumb.

Bears better want it, if they want any semblance of a chance at a season. Lose today, and you can stick a fork in the season. Win today, and there is still at least a minor interest left.

Yeah, I went off on it in another thread. Long story short, its absolutely retarded.

 

[JoeyTourettes]

Royal will play, Floyd will not.

Really don't want the season to be lost this early. The win vs DET and more importantly the grit they played with sparked a slight interest in me again. I've actually looked forward to them playing this week for the first time since week 1.

Win this one and vs JAX. Then let's go into those back-to-back primetime match ups with GB and MIN healthy, with some confidence and ready to put up a good fight.

Trevathan looks to be back today. First good news on the injury front in a while.

 

[richig07]

Royal will play, Floyd will not.

Good news on Royal. Had a feeling they were just resting him to get his calf 100%. They really need him right now.

Stinks Floyd won't be a go, but honestly Acho has been more effective. I just thought this was a good opportunity for him to get some confidence against a struggling line. Although, Trevathan, Freeman, Willie and Acho is a solid corp of LB's to roll out there.

Hell of a start by the offense. Moved the ball at will. Great play calling. 30 yards of penalties... caused them to just get a FG.
Hey! Conner Barth made a kick!

 

[richig07]

Well... Frustrating game through one half.

We HAVE to stop shooting ourselves in the foot on offense. My gosh.

No idea why receivers are so open on the right side of the field on 2nd and 3rd & long. Absurd. Unacceptable.

We MUST find a way to pressure Luck. If we don't, Indy runs away with the game 2nd half. IMO

 

[richig07]

That's the game guys...

This pass rush couldn't fight their way through a pee-wee offensive line

 

[richig07]

As I say that, Hicks sack...

I'm positive a 3rd and long conversion is upcoming though. 100%

 

[richig07]

3rd and long AFTER 3rd and long....

THIS IS INFURIATING

 

[richig07]

God... this game is so frustrating. Bears can't get a thing to roll their way. Just feels like we're spitting into the wind.

 

[richig07]

Howard!

Come on D! KEEP IT UP!

 

[richig07]

Why would I get my hopes up? My god...

Right down the field they go. So easy.

 

[JoeyTourettes]

The O has played great.

 

[beardown07]

What the fucking fuck did I just fucking watch?


My wife decided that it was time to put the 15 month old down for a nap, with 1 fucking minute to play.

 

[richig07]

Fuck that game... My god, what a shit show.
