NFL WEEK ONE

Recommended Posts

What a weird half. I guess you can chalk up the Colts offense to Manning missing the preseason and maybe it will come together in the second half, but I was more surprised by the other matchup. I know they only gave up 13, but the Colts D looked like they had some trouble with the Bears offense. If you can't stop the Bears offensive attack you're going to be in some trouble.

I think they're on to something with this TE split wide/receiver in the slot formation. A big athletic TE is going to beat most linebackers in along the sideline. If he gets doubled that leaves the WR open inside. Good idea!

But he WAS tripped. And he gave the Bears the ball inside their 5, on a drive they probably should have made the most damage in if they want to have a decisive win. They must think the Colts are gonna be as bad as they were in first half, all game long.

This has been a pleasant surprise so far. I'm waiting for some interceptions and induced fumbles, though. That's supposed to be the hallmark of Lovie's system.

I've only watched this game for a couple plays cause the Met game is on, but it looks like Matt Forte is blocking really well in pass protection too.

Would've liked a score on that drive, but it gave the D a nice rest. 'Bout due to force a turnover here.

Matt Forte has singlehandedly upgraded my Bears outlook to "cautiously optimistic," so thanks, sir.

Man, there isn't even anything fluky about this. Bears are just rolling right over Indianapolis. NFC North might be a three-team division after all.

Week 1 is typically a crazy week. I wouldn't put a whole lot of credence into the results as far as the rest of the season goes. Some teams just break out of the gate better than others.

Oh, I'm not pencilling Chicago in for the 2 seed or anything, but this will be a HUGE win if they hang on.

Al said Ortman got married! Well that's just great for him. Good to see the Ort settle down and get serious.

 

This was a good game. Too bad I didn't watch it 19 months ago.
