Once again, the whining about the D is pitiful, and they've allowed all of 3 points.

Against a team as pitiful as the Colts with Dan Orlovsky as QB, yes the defense should be giving a stronger effort than today. Allowing Two long drives against this offense doesn't bode well. They do need to develop that "killer" instinct like the 85 Bears and not be content with bend but dont break. We've seen the results the last few years.
Sorry, but it doesn't project positively for the playoffs.
