TOs were the name of the game today. Colts should have kept it a lot closer

Platinum

@Payton You guys who expected us to keep this close are too funny. This is a healthy Bears team, we'll only be in games with bad teams not potential playoff teams, at least in the first 10-12gms of season while Luck learns....luckily we have 2 in the afc south

Payton

@Platinum @Payton There's a difference between keeping it close and committing 5 turnovers, but I wouldn't expect a casual football fan to know the difference.

Platinum

@Payton Several Colts blogs and writers inc. Nate Dulevy called this games dead on...those who follow the team closely with an open mind could see it pretty clearly. There's no need to get in a huff. I wanted a closer game, heck I wanted a Colts win...

We're all fans of the Colts...Chill out.

Payton

@peytonsurdaddy @Platinum No, but that's clear from the fact I separated myself from betting professionals AND football experts. I'm just not an idiot

peytonsurdaddy

@Payton @Platinum LOL. You're a football expert?

Payton

@Platinum Yes you totally predicted the 5 TO game. You got me, Vegas, and the vast majority of football experts. You had no fucking idea how the game would end up.

@Payton Which is why you don't know the difference and expected us to keep it close against a good defense. ;)

Goéland

Luck´s ball placement can still be a bit shaky.

Platinum

@Goéland He has to realize NFL db's are faster and better than college. It'll come. Rookie errors...but he's a quick study.

Payton

@Platinum @Goéland The issue for me is that we didn't see any of this during the preseason

Payton

@Platinum @Goéland No the forcing it into tight spaces. We saw a few lofted throws

Platinum

@Payton @Goéland Any of what? The lofted throws? We did...forgotten the pitts game already? Experience will point him in right direction...if he hates losing, he'll correct those errors fast.

Goéland

@Payton @Platinum Preseason is just not reliable as far as replicating NFL-level goes.

RobertItoh

similar to peyton's stats

Platinum

@RobertItoh What were peytons?

RobertItoh

@Platinum 27/37 302 yards 1 td 3 picks

Platinum

Hey, that Jennings guy is pretty good. We should trade for him.

Platinum

Jaysis #12! Put some air on your fuckin balls! 2nd time today he's lofted balls to the right.

BDiddy

He underthrows a LOT of balls.

RobertItoh

wow he floated that one

BDiddy

Luck was trying to line them up. Forgot about the Two minute time out. Lol. Yes, he's a rookie.

Goéland

Donald´s rushed only 9 times today.

Payton

@Goéland He's ran into the guard 12 times today though

Goéland

@Payton Maths are an accomodating beast.

Goéland

@Payton Even the supermathis.

Payton

@Goéland All of the maths

RobertItoh

@Goéland cant run the ball when you find yourself in an early hole.

Goéland

@RobertItoh I still think 9 is a bit low, especially since he´s got 4 rushing first-downs.

RobertItoh

things are going to get worse before they get better

smonroe

I'd love to see Reggie get a TD, he was a warrior today.

Payton

I just hope we can get a TD or FG back here after this drive

This game is pretty much what I expected.

Goéland

@MrNFL They are who we thought they were, and at this point, there´s no point in panicking. Luck shows promise, Allen might become a true weapon... Now that I think about it, the only thing that has hurt today is seeing the Colts are still an injury magnet.

Goéland

@MrNFL Fleener, I mean.

Platinum

Who's 72? That dude needs to be locked in a room with mad pitbulls.

Payton

Hey great job Linkenbach! Surely now you guys understand why I thought Justice was quite as atrocious...

Payton

*was not quite as atrocious

Goéland

@Payton Right now, I´d say they´re all brothers in suckitude.

Goéland

@Payton Siamese even.

Payton

@Goéland Identical twins?

smonroe

That's the Link we know and ....

RobertItoh

this line is killing me

Payton

QUIT FIXATING ON WAYNE! Outside looks are way more open

RobertItoh

arians needs to put a rb next to luck in the shotgun more. empty sets with this line are scary

Payton

How is that incomplete?

Goéland

Well, fuck. Jeffery is useful. Vontae Davis? Not so much.

ColtsHomer

@Goéland Yeah because he had a ton of help from that pass rush.

Goéland

@ColtsHomer I´m not saying he has no skills as a CB, the problem is his 2 round pick price.
