Two bright spots for me was Howard and Whitehair. Luck was pressured but not consistently enough. He's a sharp guy. When you don't pressure him he takes advantage on those plays. I agree our secondary struggled too.
Leno is looking good also. Might need a RT but I think LT is looking pretty solid so far.
I liked watching Freeman and Danny T it's fun watching competent ILB after years of jokes at the position.
Leno was questionable to play, due to being pretty sick this week. He still had a good game. I think he's going to be okay at LT for us. And I agree the LB corps looks better for sure this year.
Luck is a ****ing great QB that is stuck with a mediocre offense surrounding him and a HC that should be fired.
Barth should be released already. Holy shit that guy is bad.
Yeah, cut Barth and sign Ross Martin. If you're gonna suck at the spot, at least grab the best young kicker available and see if he can develop into the next Gould.

Let's give Indy Cutler and two firsts for Luck! Jay will be even closer to home in Indianapolis and we can't seem to do shit with first round picks anyway. That work?
This right here has me shocked. The Colts O-line is supposed to be one of the worst in the NFL yet we couldn't pressure the QB. I wonder if Floyd would of been better in that situation. This was the game Floyd really needed to be in. The point I'm trying to make is our pass rush is so bad. We have none and this has affected our defense.
This is one of the reasons why I want to draft Myles Garrett in the first.
I knew this game would be a shoot out and who ever made the first mistake would be the one who would lose. Guess we were that team. It will be the same next week as well. Besides for the Bucs and Titans the Jags are the only other winnable team I see us having a chance at. Top 3 pick here we come.
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.
3 out 5 of those were coverage sacks when Luck didn't have anyone to throw the ball to. Pass rushing-wise our D line was terrible. They got almost no pressure all game. You can't expect a secondary to defend for 5+ seconds on every other play. Our secondary wasn't that bad. Lacking Houston, Goldman, and McPhee is killing us. Even having Floyd out there might have helped a lot.

I saw things differently. I didn't have the stop watch out though and I don't have the time or desire to rewatch this pathetic team. I'm finding it hard to stomach an entire Bear's game. I've resorted to watching them on NFL Redzone on my phone as I'm doing other work. This team sucks.
Almost looking forward to the offseason to rebuild my hope.

Totally understand how you feel. I'm certainly not enjoying this season. If I have time, and tolerance for pain permitting, I'll see if I can download the short take of the game and zero in on the plays Luck was sacked and see if my perceptions were correct.

If the Colts would be stupid enough to take it, I'd say yes. Luck is a Franchise QB, a QB that wins you games. He can be elite.
