Noone comes out better in the second half
In Dungy I trust

Was there a team today....
That didn’t simply try to get through the pre-season without getting hurt that DID look good today?? Alot of sloppy play…
Dallas, maybe….

And after 4, sometimes 5, pre-season games
Sloppy play is inexcusable.

It seems
that the bears are stacking the line on every single play, then running back into coverage. not a good look to run in.

Run the damn ball. I want 2 runs and a throw. No matter what.

Finally a TD
Not what we wanted, running the ball, but Peyton is calling the plays and he is calling his number. He needs to remember that he has an entire team and that he doesn’t have to do it himself.
looks like Tony D made a few adjustments at half time
Good to see the O look a little more like what we are used to seeing.
LOL

Game Plans
The Bear’s Game Plan as gone to almost perfection.
Ball Possession and pressuring Defense with no turnovers.
The Colt’s, not so much.
It was a flukey play
the two drives before that were a Colts TD and a stop by the Colts D. I still think they are putting it back together

Great Teams Have Looked Ugly Today
San Diego and Jacksonville lost. New England won but lost in a bigger way with Brady out for the year. Only Dallas and Pittsburgh looked like the good teams we thought they would be.

Geez.....
Manning isn’t doing his regular play action anymore. He use to extent completely out with the ball in one hand, now he’s keeping both hands on the ball and kinda shoving it out there. He doesn’t look comfortable just yet.
Yes
It’s too short not to. We have our timeout right here. We should be able to get it.

DISGUSTING

It's called legal scalping in Indy
Plus with the new stadium they let all the season ticket holders add lots of extra seats which I’m sure all the scalpers did so now that many more tickets are going to be scalped each week. I’m willing to bet the new stadium will have a lot more visiting fans then we EVER saw at the Hoosier Dome..

Congrats to the Bears...
Nice to see the Bears of two years ago are back. Great defense… but wtf with our defense? Kyle Orton shouldn’t be unstoppable, and we couldn’t stop the running game at all.
Sigh…
Go Colts!
the whole team was rusty
including Manning. I saw a few times were he tried a four yard pass and through it well short into the ground. Also, what is with the defense? I feel like I’m back in mid-2006? I have confidence that they’ll work it out and start a long winning streak though. However, not a good way to break in the stadium. And, I think we can forget about the home field ‘noise’ advantage causing our opponents multiple false starts in the Luke.
