OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Season On the Line ??? (vs. BEARS, 9/22)

[Colts And Orioles]

o


We're more thank halfway through the 2nd quarter, and the Bears have 0 points on the scoreboard ...... the Colts' defense is finding a way to get it done so far, however haphazardly.

It’s so fucking stupid that you keep saying this shit. It makes you look retarded.

I get that you wanted Stroud and you want to blame Ballard for not getting him. But no GM in NFL history could have pulled that off. Vince Fucking Lombardi couldn’t have done that.

Bears traded back to 9 with the Panthers. Colts had #4.

AR has already been significantly better than Young.

An enjoyable TY Hilton sighting.

Josh had a lot of the SAME issues until year three. Plus he only had 25 college starts, so it took a while to get there.

Sounds like our guy, but AR had even less college experience.

Jaylon Jones has been a force out there

Maybe.

He absolutely did it as a veteran.

You're the idiot. The Bears didn't trade to #1 last year, they got the #1 pick because they traded with Carolina in the 2023 draft. The Colts could've made a similar trade and gotten CJ Stroud, they had a more valuable asset in the 2023 draft in the #4 pick vs. Carolina's #9 pick. If Ballard really wanted #1, he could've swung the deal. It likely would've cost Pittman, but oh well, you don't worry about things like that when trading for a franchise QB.

Gil Brant and Bill Parcells said you need 24 games to evaluate a QB. I don’t know how long you give him. But I think two seasons for such a young raw guy is fair. If he shows improvement then keep playing him. Allen took theee season but you saw flashes.you commit to him, follow through.

I do know teams that have no patience and cycle through QB then coach then front office over and over are on a repetitive cycle of losing.

Make a fucking tackle, for chrissakes.
