I think the main reason for this was that they were completing these passes
2 to 3 to 4 yards past the line of scrimmage and then picking up a few more
after the catch, while we would complete the pass *at* the line, or even
behind it a yard, and end up only gaining 2 or 3 yards after the catch.
Completing those passes a couple 3 yards past the LOS proved to be extremely
advantageous for them.


Other than Devin, Thomas, Robbie and maybe our CBs I can not think of anyone

It was evident that the Colts were laying the wood every chance they
could.... that was probably the the most depressing thing to me.... they
were hitting like I expected the Bears would have, should have been doing.
It was painful to watch...
