Colts @ Bears Game Day Thread, October 4, 2020, 4:25pm ET

[EastStreet]

So tired of running Hines between the Ts in the RZ.

 

[JMichael557]

Can someone introduce Frank to JT at halftime. 

[PrincetonTiger]

Come on O

[chad72]

Our OL is not handling it well, otherwise why would we need Hines to block there?

[Valpo2004]

Team needs to figure out their Redzone offense.

[Mr.Debonair]

We need WR help. 

[DontEverGiveUp]

It looks to me like we just can't get anybody open down near the goal line.  At least Rivers wisely took the sack there though.

[John Waylon]

Rivers gonna Rivers. 
 

Takes off with it, and instead of getting rid of it to save a few yards takes a sack.

It makes zero sense, he’s a 3rd down passing back not a line pusher. JT gives you more options in the red zone

[PrincetonTiger]

Boom

It's actually a good play if Mo is singled. But blame Reich is you want, not Rivers. Rivers did what he was supposed to do, Mo just didn't time his jump. I'd prefer some edge runs near the goal line, or some misdirection to be honest.

 

Oh well, I'll take 13-3, ball to start the second half.

[John Waylon]

...

 

beg pardon?

 

 

[IinD]

Don't u dare miss

[bestQBever]

Red Zone offense a problem. Scared of a second half comeback

[chad hugo]

Will take the points, any points at this point.

Honestly not a fan of the decision to throw it there, but I get your point.

I think it's a good play if Mo is singled. Had Mo got the jump, everyone would be saying great call and Mo is a beast. 

But yes, I'd also prefer some edge runs or something not so predictable. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Wow.. just 10 years ago a 13-3 halftime would've been laughable..  I feel more confident when our defense takes the field than our offense

[krunk]

I have to say we havent blocked well today out of that shotgun look. I think we need to run more from under center and set up play action out of that. 

[Colts Fan In L.A.]

Dang Need Leonard to be ok

[SteelCityColt]

Wait.. are the Colts in a defensive grind match??!

Yep. and if they are going to run him, don't run him up the guy.

Why would he throw it and stop the clock? Taking that sack was the right thing to do. Ticked an additional 40 seconds off the clock so Bears didn't have time remaining.

Uhhhh...Bears don’t have a timeout, why stop the clock? Wise decision by Rivers

Yeah that O-Line isn’t going to like this tape

Walker and Oke have been in for a while now.

[Fisticuffs111]

Yeah Leonard seemed to get hurt on that Houston TFL play. I thought it might be something worse than a groin, but hopefully it’s not bad.

I'd change that to "Our red zone play calling is like"

I’m just...out of things to say to you today. Throw the ball away and stop the clock when they don’t have any timeouts? Or eat the sack and keep the game clock moving. 
 

Decisions decisions...

Good point.  I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah saw him pull up all gimpy on it.

 

Hopefully not to bad.

[PrincetonTiger]

Great half by the D

[Pelt]

We need to stop trying to run it up the middle. It just is not there today (so far at least). Or maybe it's when they dial up that play.

[PrincetonTiger]

Bill Cowher likes the way the D is playing

Well it seems it's always on first down and for some reason they like to give it to Hines up the middle
