Omaha can do whatever he wants in grading game threads ...... all I care about is whether or not the Colts win, and that has nothing to do with what fans on a website post. I stopped believing in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, jinxes, whammies, and curses a long time ago.

We'll see how this goes. After last week's shit show I'm not too confident. If the Colts play like they did last week then that'll probably go a long way in them giving me my Sunday afternoon's back

Last week, Gus Bradley clearly took note of my sardonic post about 10 men on the field and 10 yard cushions- and deployed my unique strategy to once again allow the opposition to have a field day in TOP. Great job Gus, listening to an internet madman to structure your defensive plan- great job!

This week, Gus will again follow my lead. He is at least going to get away from the 10 vs 11 players concept- which is a good start. This week however he is not giving those big cushions, well he isn't going to JUST TELL THE OPPOSITION that's what he is doing (like he does in every other game!) nope this week all 11 are going to be in the box coming out of the huddle. He is going to spice things up though with some confusion (smart guy). Just before the snap- CB's and Safeties will come to the line and put their hands in the dirt while all the DL will fall back into deep zone coverage. The LB's are going to run off the field, and will be replaced by offensive guards. We're going to go jumbo in the 2nd and 3rd levels. Gus is very confident Bryan and Grover will be able to cover Odunze and Moore with single high coverage support from Nelson.

Caleb Williams will go 97-103 for 568, he will run for 5 TD's, he will be awarded a 2nd Heisman post game.

Bears 57.3 to 2.7 TOP - I have stopped even talking about the score, that's a given, the more pertinent result is whether or not Gus can find a way to end up with negative TOP at some point this season- goals, gotta have em'.

In their last 10 season-openers, the Colts are 0-9-1 ...... they have not won their first game of the season since 2013, when a young man named Andrew Luck was taking snaps behind the center.

And so in recent history, the Colts have had a habit of starting slowly and then drawing us back in with a win Week 2 or Week 3 ....... the only time in that span (2013 through 2024) in which the Colts did not win their first game until Week 4 was in 2021, and they went 9-3 over their next 12 games that year before dropping their final 2 to finish at 9-8 overall.

Kenny Moore seals the game with a pick 6

[ChoppedWood]

Matt Pryor starting at RT. Bears will run for over a grand in this one.

I have lowered my expectations for this team in order to avoid throwing things and damaging items in my home!

Steichen defers on the coin toss. Thank god, don't know why he chose to receive in Game 1.

Wise financial decision.
