Not all fans.

I don't get why me complaining about us not getting any respect from media, has anything to do with me making a negative comment in the spur of the moment during the game.

I may talk a lot of sh*t that probably doesn't make sense during the game, but like I said, I'm just some yahoo venting on a message board. I would imagine that there is someone that knows football that would tell these guys in the media that maybe we're not a bad team and that we lost to a good team.

Yes they will and they are PFT and those other guys that stay hating on real up and comer. We are a real UP AND COMING TEAM!!!

The thing that ends up pissing me off the most about losing this game, is how big next weeks game is now....and really the next two weeks. I think the Bears and Lions are two teams we should beat, but two teams I'm very afraid of at the same time, especially being on the road. I told myself I'd be happy if we could take a game from either Green Bay or Indianapolis; and I am. We won in Green Bay and played better than I thought I'd see us play against the Colts.... but now these next two games are must win. At worst we have to go 1-1, but I think we're playing well enough where we should expect to win these games....

Overall, there are lots of negative things I could harp on in terms of on the field... but Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen, and he does that to everyone (in the regular season at least), and I'm not upset with our defense too much... I thought this whole team played with heart, a desire to win, and I think they expected to win this football game as well. Kudos to the coaches for getting the team ready and coming out the way they did.... now follow it up the next two weeks and we could be onto something....

Looking at the rest of the division next week, Philadelphia is @ Tennessee which should be a tough game... and the Giants and Cowboys are playing on Monday Night, and we're @ Chicago. I think we have the best draw (assuming Dallas is out of it)... and while I kind of want to see NY put the Cowboys dead to rights, if we can get a win, it might be a game where we're better off having Dallas win.

The Lions are playing much better this year and they beat us last year. That game is going to be real close and so is Chicago. I think we're looking at a split there.

I agree it's going to be a split with two road games. But I think the Chicago game will be a fairly easy W. I don't see it coming down to the last drive.

That would be D*** nice! These last minute games are nerve racking!

Outside of Rak, our pass rush is anemic. Cutler will probably have the best time of his life so far this season.

I'm pretty sure the 06 team would sack Cutler at least 7 times. He's the most sacked player in the league and there really isn't a no. 2.

Passing game and rush defense did us in tonight. The rush defense was by systematic design: we need to tackle better, but we were willing to give up 5.0 YPC in order to keep the ball out of Peyton's hands. Too many long runs due to shoddy tackling.

We just don't have much of a passing game. We did much better in pass protection than last week, but the pocket was just never clean all night. McNabb made a bunch of errors with his arm. We ran the ball 22 times. In hindsight, it just wasn't frequent enough.

I felt the same way. I don't think we were egregiously ignoring the run but more than once I thought we should have run the ball when we didn't. On that 3&3 at the end of the first half I was pretty ticked we didn't run for it and instead went for the big play. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. At worst we get run stuffed and still try a long field goal but take some time off the clock. Instead we pass incomplete, miss a long field goal and give Manning the ball back with too much time. I felt all game we didn't try to keep the ball out of his hands quite enough.

Yeah, Jacksonville ran it 31 times against them and the Texans ran THIRTY-NINE designed runs against them.

[Gtothearry]

75% of the QB's would've been sacked 6-7 times tonight.

Hey, I told everyone i knew, that if we went 3 and 3, we would make the playoffs. Well I hope they will.
