****Official Superbowl XLI thread!!****

[Bearfanmike20]

Is this for real.. Bears vs Colts...

Lets get ready to RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLE.

[Pick You 0ff]

60 % chance of rain... Indy, Chicago


YEAAAAAAAA BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[H1tStick]

The rain will hurt Gorssman more than it hurts Peyton.

[Dazed N Confuse]

I would just like to wish all you Colts and Bear fans good luck. Let hope the officials get it right this year ;)

[Pick You 0ff]

The rain will hurt Gorssman more than it hurts Peyton.


nah, bears will run the ball too much if it rains... and peyton NEEDs the run game to win this game.

Bears can run had have Rex only throw the ball about 20 times and still win

It all depends on the front 4 of the bears

[BGreezyAllMadde]

i agree the colts will be more affected by the rain, the bears have 2 solid backs and I don't think Bears fans will mind seeing Grossman hand the ball off, and only throw 20 times (sounds like the same formula that won the SB last year...) but I still think the Colts come out on top, if Addai/Rhodes can get the run game goin, it's not all going to be Peyton's arm

[ThaL0ngBall]

I just don't see Peyton letting this one get away after all the playoff defeats to the likes of the patriots

[mightypharaoh]

i hope its a good game

[ThaL0ngBall]

i hope its a good game
Yeah, we don't need another game like the National Title game was

[mightypharaoh]

Yeah, we don't need another game like the National Title game was

true story!!!!

[metal]

i hope its a good game


Hehe its funny everybody says that..

As long as the Bears win, it could be the worst game ever :p

[Pick You 0ff]

Espn had a interesting story last night

I guess 3 times before... the superbowls starting QB's alama mattas played in NCAA basketball, each time before.... the college team who won, their schools QB ended up winning

Flordia beat Tennessee

Also, Peyton is 0-3 vs flordia in his college carrer... He goes against a QB who played at florida, a defensive end who played at flordia

Biggest game of his life.. .IN flordia

Manning has a huge task in his hands w/ this bears defense... but we'll see how it works out!

[mightypharaoh]

Hehe its funny everybody says that..

As long as the Bears win, it could be the worst game ever :p

i just want a competitive game. not really pulling for either team

[metal]

i just want a competitive game. not really pulling for either team

Exactly, when your team isnt in there, you just want a good competitive game.

When your team IS there, you want your team to win no matter what, good game be damned :)

[mightypharaoh]

marino practicing the coin toss lol

[rank is dumb]

I want to see someone get BLOWED SMOOOOOOOOOOTH THE PHUUUUUUUUUUUG OUT!!! I feel bad for the 85 Pats who lost 46-10.. So someone needs to win by 37 or more to make them feel better!! :D

didn't the broncos lose 55-10to the 49ers:eek:

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

Horrible performance #1 currently on CBS now.

[pitbull]

oh this is cool. this sucks i wanted to contribute to this thread but i got to go in a while.

[metal]

Well I suppose this is the thread to post this.

I'm extremely nervous. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to eat much of the sweet snacks we got.

It's all about capatilizing on mistakes. Who makes them? Who makes the most out of getting them. Payton is going to get serious yards, it's going to be about holding them to FG's instead of TD's.

I honestly have no idea whats going to happen in this game. I can forsee so many different outcomes. So many "if's". The Bears just need to play the game they have all year, solid D, keep running the ball, PA Grossman.

The Bears have had an excellent season. Achieving what basically everyone thought they couldnt do. Every single win was because of the weather, the refs, the other team not performing. Never got any credit til getting into this game. Win or lose the fans should be extremely proud of what happened this season.

So for the final time this season.....


Lets go Bears!

[Gtrght77]

Damn Janet Jackson, made it that we have to have sorry *** Pregame and halftime shows.

[rank is dumb]

I feel like I'm watching the Arizona Cards and the SF 49ers!! This game is sloppy!!

[SilkySmooth82]

Cedric Benson got JACKED UP!!!!!!!

[mightypharaoh]

4 turnovers in the 1st

[Dawknest20]

Two Bears down, Ced and John Tait.

[Pat]

it makes no sense that the super bowl would not be played in a dome???

weather is playing such a factor. this game is interesting so far to say the least.

[mightypharaoh]

14-6 at the end of the 1st. not dull thats for sure

[rank is dumb]

I know I said that the team who runs the ball more will win.. But if am the colts I pass it every down!!

[mightypharaoh]

the colts need 6 on this drive

[mightypharaoh]

I know I said that the team who runs the ball more will win.. But if am the colts I pass it every down!!

not whenthe bears blitz

gotta take fg.sucks

[mightypharaoh]

now that was a good commercial. i like the old school godzilla theme

[mightypharaoh]

where was hester?

[Dawknest20]

where was hester?
They had him upfront ready for the squib.

[SilkySmooth82]

They had him upfront ready for the squib.


i would rather keep him back and let them squib it and take the field position every time

[dmac2brown46]

wtf was with that commercial with all those naked guys.....im never buying a chevy car bc of that........

[mightypharaoh]

this sb will set a record for the most gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay commercials

[Dawknest20]

i would rather keep him back and let them squib it and take the field position every time
After what happened last time, i'd rather have Hester up front.

[Gtrght77]

dorrito commercial was gross

[mightypharaoh]

rhodes with the highlight stick for the 1st

[mightypharaoh]

td rhodes.

[mightypharaoh]

dorrito commercial was gross

agreed!!!!

[SilkySmooth82]

After what happened last time, i'd rather have Hester up front.

tell em to get on the ground when somebody comes near em lol. even if you barely return the squib you'll still end up with great field position every time

[mightypharaoh]

3 and out bears. momentum shifting

[mightypharaoh]

another fumble. are u kidding

back to back????

[mightypharaoh]

he missed it:eek:

[GAV]

1 play...commercial. WTH!!!
Milking every penny.

Vinatieri...missed???? WTH!!!

[Dazed N Confuse]

Bears are dodging a lot of bullets here. The biggest thing though is their defense has been on the field a long time!!!!! That needs to change.

[Dawknest20]

woah....Vinateri missed...

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

Commercials absolutely sucked in the first half. Only good ones were the Miller Lite ones with the rock, paper, scissors, and the one where everyone is slapping each other.

[GAV]

Bob Sanders reminds me of Brian Dawkins. He's always around the ball, and
he finishes tackles - even when he only gets a small piece of the ballcarrier. He
gets low so quick. He's made being short into a strength.

[GAV]

I hate halftime so much. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[pmac]

WHAT
is Prince doing?

[Gtrght77]

Omg The Liberals Have Taken Over The Superbowl!!!!!!! :d

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

Bob Sanders reminds me of Brian Dawkins. He's always around the ball, and
he finishes tackles - even when he only gets a small piece of the ballcarrier. He
gets low so quick. He's made being short into a strength.
GAV, I was thinking the same exact thing. The guy is just all over the ball like Dawk was in his prime (And still is). For a guy who is only 5'8, he is a hell of a player and has a ton of heart.

[Dawknest20]

So who you guys got as MVP so far ?

If anybody it's Peyton, IMO.

[Titans 4 LIFE]

So who you guys got as MVP so far ?


prince....

[H1tStick]

For such a fruitcake pince is one hell of a guitarist

[Dawknest20]

Bob Sanders reminds me of Brian Dawkins. He's always around the ball, and
he finishes tackles - even when he only gets a small piece of the ballcarrier. He
gets low so quick. He's made being short into a strength.
Yeah, i can see the comparison. Sanders plays with a lot of heart, he's quick, and when he egts to the play, which with him is often, he lays a hit.

[GAV]

16-14 ... Who's gonna win???

[KingStyle]

Trent Dilfer + (Interceptions x Mistakes ) = Rex Grossman

[Dawknest20]

Chicago needs to make a stop here.

[Dawknest20]

Chicago needs to make a stop here.
wow, another first down. Same little play to the back.

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

Addai just eating them up in every aspect whether he's rushing or catching passes out of the backfield.

[Dawknest20]

Colts are killing the Bears slowly on this drive. two 3rd down conversions, and getting a good 3-5 yards almost every play.

false start on Indy.

[H1tStick]

Addai 4 MVP

[mightypharaoh]

Trent Dilfer + (Interceptions x Mistakes ) = Rex Grossman

disagree

trent with the ravens was a manager and knew he was a bum. rex actually thinks he can play and tries to make plays

[Dawknest20]

That timeout could hurt indy A LOT later on.

[Dawknest20]

This drive right here is going to be huge. The Bears need soemthing, even a few first downs, if not points, Something to show they have life and give that defense a rest. If they go 3 and out, the way Indy has found a groove...it might be over.

[Dazed N Confuse]

The Bears defense won't be able to stand in the 4th quarter if the offense goes 3 and out right here.

[mightypharaoh]

The Bears defense won't be able to stand in the 4th quarter if the offense goes 3 and out right here.

they will if they keep holding indy to 3

[Dawknest20]

First play first down. HUGE.

[mightypharaoh]

booger with the spin move

[mightypharaoh]

botched snap again

[Dawknest20]

lol @ from 2nd and 1 to 3rd and 12, to 4th and 20+

: /

[GAV]

2nd and 1...RUN THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingStyle]

Like I said.

Rex is losin this game for da Bears.

[x7xArMiNx7x]

Great vision.

[mightypharaoh]

36 yd run by rhodes

[rank is dumb]

In memory of the Old school Wendys comercials!

Where's the Def???????:rolleyes:

[Gtrght77]

The Score doesn't show it yet but the Colts are dominating the bears.

[mightypharaoh]

3rd and goal

stopped at the 3

[x7xArMiNx7x]

Coulda ran it in.

[Dawknest20]

Im still on that 2nd and 1....why don't you run the ball ? JUST WOW

[Dazed N Confuse]

Bears need to march it right here. They need to get a rythem and keep their D off hte field right now.

[Dazed N Confuse]

LOL lame call there!!!

[rank is dumb]

The Score doesn't show it yet but the Colts are dominating the bears.

Colts 20 first downs Bears 4
Colts 320 total yards Bears 107
Colts 142 rushing yards Bears 63



COLTS RAN THE BALL 29 TIMES to the bears 12

Like I have said the entire time!! The team who runs the ball more wins in the playoffs!! Its not over yet but I can't see the bears winning this game with out some help from Indy!

[mightypharaoh]

squib kick and a penalty

the bears have great position.

[mightypharaoh]

k-fed with a commercial
extra gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[rank is dumb]

Good old Rex!! Pick a WR and throw it as hard as you can!! lol

[rank is dumb]

The Bears better Bench that foooooooooooooooooool!!:eek:

[pmac]

why is Grossman taking a 5-step drop?

the pressure comes, and he steps back farther.

makes no sense.

[Dawknest20]

Big FG here. Defense got somewhat of a breather, not they need to make a stop.

[mightypharaoh]

good call....

[rank is dumb]

tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic and the Bears defense is TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!!! All we heard about all years was the Bears def is sooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooood!! Well 386 yards against so far is not to good!! Ut oh is it time for Dynasty change? Pats hand the torch over to the Colts!!

[Dazed N Confuse]

good call....


Hey how did your surgery go? Good I hope.

[rank is dumb]

The comercials this years suuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

[mightypharaoh]

Hey how did your surgery go? Good I hope.

[Dawknest20]

LOL @ how marvin fell

[rank is dumb]

yeah, thanks for asking, have to keep my leg up for 2 weeks:mad:

I bet you got good pain pills!! They always help :D

[GAV]

Trent Dilfer + (Interceptions x Mistakes ) = Rex Grossman
LOLOL

You hate Chicago so much. I feel you. I'm the same way with the Dallas Cowboys.

[mightypharaoh]

[mightypharaoh]

OK I will!! Can I have your pain pills? lol!!

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

Unbelievable how Chicago had such good field position all game, but they couldn't get anything out of it.

[KenFalco]

Rex Grossman.. LMAO...

INT BIG BOB SANDERS.... !

HAHAHA.... Like I said, NEVA.. :D

Grossman is the biggest joke of a QB....

Where's Orton or Griese?

[Thong Sniffa]

Bears problem on defense is that they dont run a 3-4. Peyton eats this defense up all-day every day

[rank is dumb]

532-5
and vic 5-500

gonna save em for a rainy day


The Vic 500 are better IMO unless you got the Blue Perks!! I got the Vic for my back!! But at this point they don't help anymore unless I take 4 or 5 of them!! So I try not to take them very often!

[pmac]

Bears problem on defense is that they dont run a 3-4. Peyton eats this defense up all-day every day

why would the Bears run a 3-man front?

they don't have anyone on the roster with the beef.

that D is built on speed, not the latest fad.

if anything, they should bring out the old school 46 and go after the QB on every play. I think their tall, physical corners woulda matched up well with Harrison & Wayne.

(and they did).

[mightypharaoh]

The Vic 500 are better IMO unless you got the Blue Perks!! I got the Vic for my back!! But at this point they don't help anymore unless I take 4 or 5 of them!! So I try not to take them very often!

all the same to me bc i have a low tolerance since i dont drink. the docs were saying the amnesia hit me harder bc of that

[H1tStick]

YAY! No more hearing how Peyton can't win the big games.

[mightypharaoh]

[rank is dumb]

hit stick....

High Light stick!!

Man I have been working on the RT analog juke move as of late.. Its super effective when you learn how to use it!!:eek:

[mightypharaoh]

rhodes for mvp

[H1tStick]

Peyton will probably win mvp just because he is Peyton :rolleyes:

[pmac]

rhodes for mvp

for all the talk of Addai being Edge's "replacement," they should've looked no further than Dominic.

he blocks well. he can catch a pass. he can run and be physical.

and now he's had his chance and proven himself. he should be the starter for the Colts next September.

MVP? I think we all know where that's going...

[Pick You 0ff]

Tough loss... good game colts, manning cemented his legecy.

props to the colts

[Thong Sniffa]

all the same to me bc i have a low tolerance since i dont drink. the docs were saying the anesthesia hit me harder bc of that

So basically you're saying that you get easily knocked smooth the phug out?? :D

Glass Joe. :D

[mightypharaoh]

good job dungy, peyton and colts

[mightypharaoh]

So basically you're saying that you get easily knocked smooth the phug out?? :D

Congrats to Tony. He built the Bucs only for Chucky to win it with them. Now he finally gets it done.

agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coach Stag]

Live by the Rex.......die by the Rex.

[x7xArMiNx7x]

Rhodes had the best numbers, he'll probably get the MVP.

[BluEStorm_47]

REX GROSSMAN 4 MVP!

You gave the game away on a silver platter ya fricken bum!

Seriously, 1000's of people could have pulled the same isht he pulled tonight. I know the majority of COLLEGE and even HIGH SCHOOL Quarterbacks could have performed better. You have NO mobility, NO arm strength, and NO consistent accuracy!

It is not even the 100 dollars I lost because you sucked so much. (I'll admit, I thought the defense would be better), but Grossman, you suck all kinds isht....

I didn't know I'd be making a bet where the QB of one team was severely challenged....

[BluEStorm_47]

Now, I don't know if it was the play calling, I don't even know if it was the defense of the Colts...

BUT, I want to put this game on Rex Grossman....because the evidence adds up...you suck all season, you blow the Super Bowl...it is inevitably your fault, correct?

[mightypharaoh]

lmphuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggginao!!!!!

[Coach Stag]

Who will be burned in effigy more over the next year:

Rex in Chicago?

Bush in Iraq?

tough call.....

[pmac]

Jim Irsay is a bum.

no less than two years ago he threatened to move the Colts to Toronto.

the [Indianapolis/Baltimore] Colts...the Lombardi Trophy...it's like handing the Lombardi Trophy to Jacksonville, Sioux City or San Antonio...

I hate teams that move. they seem so fake.

at least they have the sense to have smart, good guys like Dungy and Manning.

a fake team with good players won the Super Bowl tonight.

The defense played about as well as you can expect for being on the field for a stagering 38:08 minutes!!!!!!

[Pick You 0ff]

only let the colts score 2 tds...

hats off to the colts,

[BluEStorm_47]

The defense played about as well as you can expect for being on the field for a stagering 38:08 minutes!!!!!!

Yeah, good point...

There would be only ONE more way on Earth that I could be madder than I am right now, IF I WAS A BEAR FAN. Get that guy OUT OF CHICAGO...

How disappointed are you at this bum, Chicago?!?! He didn't do isht the entire year! WHY'D I BET ON HIM!!!!

WHOOOO-SAHHHHH

[Pat]

everbody who's saying Grossman lost the game for them don't really know what they're talking about.

how can he lose the game when the coaching staff doesn't even let him pass, and the D can't keep the Colts off the field.

Granted, he got crazy late, but the D lost it for the Bears here.

thinking you coudl win the game by hiding your QB away and running 3 out of 4 plays vs the Colts in the Super Bowl is stupid. Peyton's gonna put up points, and you have to have a little faith in your QB to match him. if not, he shoudln't be on the field.

[H1tStick]

The Bear's overrated D got run over all day. The loss falls on their shoulders.

[Coach Stag]

The defense played about as well as you can expect for being on the field for a stagering 38:08 minutes!!!!!!

My Pick from the Pick's Thread:
"Colts 21
Bears 13

MVP Marvin Harrison

Just don't think the Bears can keep the ball out of Peyton's hands long enough."

I felt that would be a HUGE problem for the Bears, Rex isn't able to keep drives going, he just sucks that bad. Against the Colts you have to keep the ball out of Manning's hands. If Rex could have engineered just ONE long scoring drive, it could have been enough for that D to get the win.

My notes...

- 2 bad football games in a row in the Super Bowl sucks. Its the sport's biggest stage, where the best show up to claim the crown. Yet, just as last year, you watch the game and you watch all the sloppy play on both sides of the ball and you think "This is the best the league has right now?". This is the down-side of parity in the NFL, folks. The reason that any team in the league has a shot at the Lombardi trophy every year is because there are no great teams left.

- Did I drink too many beers tonight, or did I hear Tony Dungy say that he was the first Christian head coach to win a SB? May wanna check the books on that one, Tony.

- Manning played pretty well, but Dominic Rhodes was the most valueable player of the game.

- Jim Irsay looks a lot like a fat, midwestern version of Adolf Hitler... A LOT... So much so that I would comment on it.

- Crucify Grossman all you want, but in the words of Denny Green, he is what we all thought he was: a big-play guy. Some days, its big plays for his team, and some times, it big plays for the other team. Tonight was the latter.

EDIT: If I'm Roger Goodell, I'm putting in the Tank Johnson rule next year right alongside the Shawne Merriman rule...Any player caught driving a military-grade ammo dump doesn't get to play till next year, whether he has a note from the judge, his pastor, or his mommy.

Peyton Manning...MVP?

Give it to Grossman, I am dead serious! Who said that the MVP had to be given to someone on the winning team. THIS bum GAVE the game away....

This is the question: Did Grossman get paid off by the Colts, or did he always suck this bad?

Also, how many more fingers does Vinatieri have before he fills his hand with rings?

Another, what's this losing streak with running back kickoffs in the big game (Ted Ginn/Devin Hester) and then huge injuries afterwards (Ginn/Benson)?

And why didn't Grossman wear a flippin towel to wash off his hands....is he a bad quarterback and a complete dumbarse as well?

Finally, how many minutes are left before the Bears hold a press conference saying that Grossman has been released...seriously, they have waited too long...

[Pick You 0ff]

bears really missed tommie harris and mike brown....

i just hope we get some talent in the offseason, i'm willing to give rex another year, see how he does

[Blitz716]

good job dungy, peyton and colts
I Agree, Peyton deserves it and hucked and chucked the ball down field, piece by piece. Nice Job Defense also.
Grossman need to learn how to connect with the ball during the snaps , that is QB 101...Oh well cool game.

When'd Gross(looking for a job)man ever make the BIG PLAY when it counted? AGAINST THE TEXANS or the RAIDERS? WHEN!!!!???? This guy honestly must have had to ride the short bus down to Miami....

And I don't even want to hear his excuse this time....

"I wasn't prepared well enough..."

"I over analyzed the situation..."

"Two weeks off really threw off my mindset..."

"I really am not a good quarterback...(thanks for telling us now)"

"I think that I can pull it back together next year..."

Don't even give me that lame arse excuse Gross(free agent, never play in the NFL again)man...

Sorry, I am just a rantin and a ravin...but I've got to get it off my chest because I am the true a**-hat for having faith in this guy...

Yeah, but Colts were missing Corey Simon and Brandon Stokley.

Evens out.

[BluEStorm_47]

OKAY,

I'm done with the Grossman bashing....

Now, something that I realized when the Bears were playing defense was their lack of the blitz and man coverage assignments.

My question is that with Manning being a pocket passer and the ample blitzes the Bears threw in to their playcalling, did they inevitably blow the game by:

1.) Not going to man coverage enough ( Cover 2 Zone almost the entire game )

or

2.) Not blitzing through the A and B gaps enough, thus limiting Manning's vision on the under routes. Forcing him to throw to the flats and corners (which would have worked nicely with a man coverage)

What do you guys think? I'm done with the Grossman stuff, just wondering what the Bears didn't do well enough that caused them to give up some points.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT and HAPPY COUPLE MONTHS VG!

I'm out....

[Pat]

Yeah, but Colts were missing Corey Simon and Brandon Stokley.

Evens out.

not to mention Diem got injured, a very good tackle, and the Bears still couldn't get to Peyton.

I'd offer you some beers (you obviously need some), but I drank all mine.

[KingStyle]

What does not having Mike Brown and Harris have to do with the QB looking like Pop Warner?

[Packersrule1]

Good game Colts.

[metal]

Well..... that Devin Hester run back was cool wasnt it? :)

First, congrats to the Colts/Colts fans. The Colts played the better game today. Despite all the pressure being on them, they managed to win anyways. Congrats to a great coach in Dungy. He deserves to be a winner. Congrats to Manning, he -had- every chance to collapse in the face of playoff adversity and didnt. Congrats to the Colts defense.. they did something never done before one of the worst run D's in the league completely changed faces in the playoffs and stepped up.

From the Bears point of view there were several things that hurt us. Didnt take advantage of turnovers like a team could have. When your the underdog, you need to take every turnover and make the best of it, and that wasnt done. We often gave the ball right back. The injury to Cedric Benson hampered us a bit, we never really got to pound the D over and over. They did some gashing, but never wore them down like was the game plan. I missed Tommie Harris. We were weak up the middle, and have been since he went down. Then you got Rex. He really hurt this team. It was painful to see such a good team hindered so drastically by one specific position. His ball security was horrible. Both those INT's were disgusting. Two botched snaps is horrible. It was extremely frustrating to say the least.

Oh well, we werent supposed to be here anyway. :rolleyes:

I still feel this team has a very good nucleus. The final result is very disapointing, but there are several things to be proud of that happened this season.

[Nevada_Ballin]

Congrats Colts fans, Peyton solidifies his HoF enshrinement today.


Rex Grossman? You're a bum. Start looking for a job outside of football, i think Jeff Garcia is on the phone with Jerry Angelo.....

[evad04]

My thoughts on the game:

The Bears defense the second half of the season and in this game was not the same as the dominant one in the first half of the season. Is that because of Tommie Harris and Mike Brown? Well, that's a start. Either way, "defense wins championships" didn't apply to the Bears tonight because their defense just wasn't that great. They played well enough early on but they weren't dominant. When your QB plays THAT poorly, the defense HAS to be great.

Early on it was shaping up to be a Bears win... and then they had to rely on Rex and it went straight down hill.

The Brad Johnsons and the Trent Dilfer's of the world won the big game because:

1) Their defenses were better [than the Bears defense]

2) They protected the ball

It's tough to put it on ONE guy... but the ultimate difference maker this game was Rex's poor play. You can't throw interceptions when your team is within one score of the game.

[Gtrght77]

The Bears should try to sign David Carr. Him and Berrian already have chemistry.


My Pick of 31-17 was pretty close.

[Pat]

my 27-20 pick is looking pretty hot so far, but i think i seen one that was closer. :(

[BlItZeD4LiFe25]

Again .. I'll ask Bear Fans ..

What is this MYTH that their Rush Defense was something decent? They got steamrolled tonight. I repeat. Steamrolled. And they were getting steamrolled BEFORE Grossman's awful 2nd half that had them out on the field the entire time.

If anyone deserved the SB this year it was Manning, especially after beating the Ravens, Pats and now the Bears .. 3 of the NFL's top 5 Defenses easily this season, all IN A ROW in the post season. (of course it helps that his Defense stood up a little as well .. but a QB is going to beat good teams when not having to out-shoot them all the time) All of them in strategic/veteran fashion. He played a patient game against the Ravens. He out-shot the Patriots after a crazy comeback, and he diced up the Bears Defense .. in fact most of his incompletions were drops by his WRs.

I'm real pleased with this .. it's been a while since a talented QB not named Brady did something on the winning team of the Superbowl.

You have to admit, after that 1st Quarter interception, Manning knew what had to be done and he played a perfect game from there on out .. very similar to the Ravens game. He took what the Defense gave underneath. He moved the chains well, and changed a ton of plays throughout the game at the line to get the best of the Bears Defense .. mostly giving the ball to Rhodes up the middle when he spotted weakness/obvious things coming.

Colts Special Teams is just terrible in coverage, but squibbing and giving up the field position was the perfect way of keeping the ball away from Hester -- the Bears lone threat to put points on the board aside from their FG kicker converting or their Defense hooking up the O deep inside enemy territory.

Really .. it seemed as if the Colts just trampled the Bears. The better team won by far. The Colts O-line played great, entirely neutralized the Chicago D-line (the foundation of their Defense, they're pretty much garbage elsewhere outside of Urlacher) before and after losing Diem, and even when Manning was pressured he moved and made plays still!

.. as for Rex Grossman .. well? Two botched snaps? Two completely retarded interceptions?

The Bears needed some plays down the stretch and Rex killed them.

Somebody mentioned the Bears Defense being at fault -- well if the QB wasn't throwing the ball to the other team on top of the Offenses struggles (and numerous lost fumbles) do you think they'd of looked as bad as they were?

They were exhausted .. man .. any Defense would of sucked it up, great or awful. Rex did not manage the game very well (lol) nor did Lovie give the rock to Jones enough .. he should of carried it 45 times in this contest for the Bears to of had a chance, once Hester was canceled out.

The reality of the situation was that coming into this game the Bears played a bunch of ***** teams all year, stole the ball a million times from said ***** teams, and converted on a lot of those turnovers to make their Offensive production (namely pts) look inflated beyond recognition. No, their Offense was NEVER as amazing as some made them out to be all year.

The reality of the Superbowl was what happened when a solid Defense took the field to stop those cheap scores off a short field, a team that could hang on to the ball executed on Offense, and an amazing Offensive line buried the Bears Defense themselves while their very-patient QB went about his business in moving the chains.

I don't know about y'all, but down the stretch Rex looked like the exact opposite .. he looked scared *****less on every snap, dancing around in the pocket, looking this way and that almost too quickly .. then firing half-seconds before getting knocked on his @ss -- he was beyond shook.

I saw a clinic tonight. The difference between a kick@ss QB (with everything from the elements to the fumbles/missed FG seemingly against him) and a really *****ty one that will lose games for a talented team.

[metal]

The only answer I have to your question could be looked upon as an excuse. I'm not big on making excuses.

The better team won today.

You never said it, but some other Bear Fans certainly have.

They were raving about it after the Saints game, when statistically throughout the playoffs and the regular season the Bears D was weak against the run and vulnerable to big plays galore.

The ***** killed them in this game.

I don't think Addai/Rhodes are as good on a regular basis as they looked tonight .. lol

Ehh... that's not entirely true.

They were dominant in the first half of the season. The point at which they no longer had Tommie Harris and Mike Brown represented the beginning of the end of their dominance. They weren't giving up big plays when they were holding teams to 10 points or less 6 times; shutting teams out twice. They WERE giving up teams when injuries lead to their vulnerability.

And I understand that injuries are part of the team. What I'm trying to point out is that this team had two faces this year: 1) WITH Brown and Harris 2) WITHOUT Brown and Harris.

The first one kicked ***. The second one, not so much.

[SuPeRfLyKiD]

How crappy do you think Edgerrin James feels right about now?

both statements 100% correct

[GAV]

How crappy do you think Edgerrin James feels right about now?
He's probably happy, as he was probably rooting hard for his old team.
Crappy? Nah. Have you seen his contract numbers? He had to do what
he had to do.
