Bears at Colts Week 5 grades by PFF

so, by these grades, we had a better QB (NFL), better O top guys grades and better D top guys grades and still lost a game...

I'd say is was more like Indy's offense producing the average number of points per game they do and us doing much the same.  Two tds and a FG or two won't win you many games and this was another game against a defense that ranks lower than our own.

Hoyer had a superb running game to work off of and a shot at beating them with his arm but couldn't.  You can probably lump in a dozen or so mistakes and penalties on top of that.  The Bears still don't know how to win a game unless the other guys lose it.

Agreed, and unlike other qb's that are defended by some fans b/c it's the shitty ol and limited OL talent around him fault, Luck excels and doesn't turn the ball over; crazy. 5 sacks 2 more qb hits and not 1 fumble not one bad throw turned into an int. It's almost as if having a bad OL isn't a viable excuse for turning the ball over; or having a shitty game, who'd a thunk it. Cutler would have got another TD, but he also would have allowed Indy to get 30+ b/c of a fumble or int if not multiple. Neither are good enough.

This is also why Hoyer isn't a viable option any more then Cutler. Hoyer is KO(cutler is rex blech), he won't turn the ball over, but he's also incapable of placing the ball where it needs to be every time. It's inexcusable that Jeffery had 1 pass thrown to him in the 1st 1/2, and even worse that he wasn't the target on a few jump ball plays thrown to Royal(really 2xs Hoyer threw a jump ball to the fn midget on the field); and he was actually wide open on the last play and he missed him the Bears have enough talent around the qb to put up 20-30 points consistently but neither of these guys do it.     

The OL didn't help, Long, Sitton, Massie all had flags that hurt the team when they were driving and in scoring position that changes the outcome of this game also(although that holding on Massie was BS, the DE so thoroughly beat him that he fell over and the DE fell over him there was no grabbing, tripping, or anything by Massie he was on his back before he could even get his hands up(not that it's good either just shouldn't have been a flag). 

How nice is it to see 2 competent ILB's? OLB's are still shaky, and the DE's even against that OL struggled at times, but the ILB play was fun to watch. Not so much was the DB play, they consistently got beat more times then they were able to cover. TY Hilton apparently is the new Randy Moss, near uncoverable. 

btw Barf shouldn't be on this team next week. Guy I was watching the game w/said after he pulled it right he was going to pull it left(doesn't know anything about him btw) and there he was pulling it f'n left. He's bad at kickoffs also. There should be no less then 4 other kickers in HH on Monday trying out. 

last I checked the Bears sacked Luck five times including three by Willie. The pressure wasn't consistently there but it was there. I'd say the bigger issue was in coverage.
