Bears +7 and the under (48.5)
Just how good is that Bears defence if they can go all the way to the Super Bowl with having Rex Grossman as the quarterback?

Bears 237, Colts -2.

After a slow first half resulting in a 10-0 Bears lead, a small and sudden hurricane (could it have been Hurricane Ditka?) descends over the playing field. With winds topping 100 mph only when Peyton Manning throws, the Bears intercepted Manning 32 times, returning them all for touchdowns. Gould also ends the game with a fieldgoal from 85 yards with the wind at his back.

Da Bears.

Heard on the radio that the field conditions won't be the best tonight after a storm rolls through today. I was going to say the Colts, but I'll go with the Bears now in a close one.

Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.

....the Colts can keep Devin Hester in check (that's a big if with their special teams) the Colts win 30 - 14.

If Hester has a field day, Colts will still win, but by 30 - 27.

Bears haven't gotten respect all year. This week is no different. They thrive off of it.
Everyone likes to bash Rex. He has the same number of TD passes as Manning in the post season, yet Manning has 6 INTs, as opposed to Rex's 1.

Bears D is faster, tougher, and smarter.

Which Rex Grossman is going to show up today? If the good Rex shows up then the Colts by 3, if the bad Rex shows up then the Colts by 17. That's horrible to put it all into the hands of one player... You really can't count out the Bears - remember the Arizona game? Well, the Colts aren't Arizona...

Okay- I have a Superbowl related question: Everyone knows that nearly all the advertising for the past two weeks uses that famous phrase "The Big Game" instead of Superbowl. I know it is being done for financial reasons but even huge companies say the Big Game. Nobody uses "Superbowl." I think there is more to it. Does any advertiser not use the Big Game?

barry, i heard a long discussion awhile ago on a radio show here in l.a....apparently, the nfl has trademarked the word "superbowl" and everyone has to pay now to use it...as for any advertiser using the words "the big game" it seems most of them...the only people i've heard use "superbowl" is the station that is running the superbowl or a football game telecast, any sports shows, and pretty much every newscast. i've heard...

super-duper-bowl
da big game
sluperbowl
slurpee-bowl
supersunday
game day
and a slew of others that escape me, but then again i'm not a football fan

O.K. I am a huge Bears fan, I grew up in Rockford and have followed the Bears through the good times and the bad. I would love to see them pull off the upset but I am not convinced that the Bears D can keep Manning in check. I am not concerned with the Bears O as I think they can run on Indy but as painful as it is for me to say this I think: Colts 24 Bears 13

Has taken the trademarking to the step of shutting down church events which offered super bowl parties and used the actual name.

I know I heard on the news there was one in Houston that happenned to and you go to Deadspin.com there was a story a few days ago about a different church that had the same thing happen to them. For the folks in the NFL; I would consider taking a lesson in common sense.


Bears 20
Colts 17

IMHO, the Bears have a "punchers" chance between their return teams and the possibility of a wet field. If that happens, and if the Bears turn to be as good of a mudder as I think they would be, then you might see the upset of the year

Regards
Rich

It's supposed to rain tonight, so I am changing my prediction to:

Colts 87
Bears 5

edited to add: Rich, it does seem like the NFL has guarded the name for all it is worth (and I started marking up my Almanac, I'm going to work on it diligently this week-maybe even during "The Big Game" )

I'm assuming, that like the recent contest, we're permitted to make predictions up until the game ends?

Are you going to make a prediction with a minute to go? Seems like you might get the exact score that way.

Okay- my real prediction:

Colts 24
Bears 14

barry, pat riley (or someone in the lakers organization) did the same thing with the lakers when they won the championship 3 years in a row...he called it a "threepeat", got the word "trademarked" "copywrited" or "patented" or whatever the term was but now its his word


come on spring training!!

Poor Rex Grossman is going to get slammed on this one. Four turnovers attributed to poor Rex. Overall it was a team effort in the loss. If Chicago could have got their running game untracked it could have been different. Too much pressure on Rex. Those picks were terrible throws. Two fumbled snaps, ouch.

Told my wife before the game that Rex could be one of the worst quarterbacks to ever start a Super Bowl game. Who was that guy that was the quarterback for the Ravens when they went to the big dance?? Rex will be traded away if anyone will take him...
Yes. I'm upset I lost my wager to Jay on this years Super Bowl. I should have held out for more points getting Da Bears!

Rex isn't as bad as everyone says he is.

Tough game for the entire team. Doesn't help when the Defense collapses.

Manning is a stud, hats off to him, he played great.
THis was Rex's first full year as a QB, took his team to the super bowl. To call him terrible isn't very fair to his accomplishments. He will be fine, this will be a learning experience, in the long run.
Congrats Colts, you deserve it.

Lets Go Bears, get 'em next year!

How long till opening day?

Get this, I had to go to the symphony today. I had gotten the tickets about six months ago, and didn't realize it was on the Super Bowl Sunday until last week. The symphony featured Andre Watts (famous pianist) so I wasn't going to skip that, and I got home to see the entire second half of the game-- so it all worked out.

It was an exciting game but it is a pity it had to be played in such dreadful weather conditions.

And for all the criticism of Grossman, he was 20 for 28 for 165 yards and a touchdown. He threw two interceptions, but turnovers were the norm and the ball was very slippery. Certainly not the worst performance in Super Bowl history.

You're right, "Rex isn't as bad as everyone says he is", he's worse!
I sincerely hope he is not there when they report to camp in the summer. He is in way over his head in the NFL...he should try CFL or Europa.

I would argue that it was an amazing performance by the defense!!! They held Manning and the Colts offense to 22 points (don't count the INT return), which is admirable all by itself, and then consider the fact that the Bears D was on the field the ENTIRE GAME!!!

credit to the Colts, true...but no one can survive a QB that turns the ball over 4 times each game....

Anyway, yes, we'll get them next year.

I made a little money on Sunday on the game, but lost my prop bets. 130+ yards rusing for the Bears (thanks injured Cedric Benson) and Dallas Clark scoring the first TD. What was I thinking?

Rex is simply not a cerebral quarterback. Those two picks, he simply chucked up the ball. He reminds me of Drew Bledsoe, Patrick Ramsey and even an early version of J.P Losman (he's improving). You can't teach clutch and it's fairly easy to win fourteen games with that schedule (they took the School Of The Blind into overtime) and maybe they were the best team in the NFC, but there are four teams I feel in the AFC that could have beaten them.

Prince was good at Half Time...and the commercials were rather lame. I liked the Robert Goulet commercial...

the rest were nothing to write home about...except the Taco Bell lions were kinda amusing

agreed on the Bears schedule

part of me wanted the Bears to win for the simple reason of making Dennis Green's tirade all the more enjoyable...but Dennis has his own problems to worry about as it is...

Consider this,
This was Rex's first full year as the starter. he had some ups and downs (7 games with a QB rating over 100, same amount as Manning).
He will continue to grow. I don't think it's fair to place all the blame on him. (He definately did not help his cause though).
The D let up way to many yards, and could not come up with a 3rd down stop to save their lives.

Ah well, the Colts deserved it. Played a good game. Enjoy the victory, Colts fans!
