If you really want to guarantee a Bears victory in the Super Bowl, have me pick the Colts to win it.




Super Bowl prediction...

Bears 35
Colts 28

Go Bears!!!

I see the court system of Illinois has it's head in the right place. Nice message to send that laws are less important than football.

No, I really mean it...

Bears 35
Colts 28

And I hope the Bears do win it all. Really.

But hey, you know how my predictions have been. I hope I'm right this time.

If you blitz Manning, you lose. The Bears are good enough to pressure him with just their front 4 and when he's pressured he will throw some picks. Bears will pound Benson and then run Jones which will keep Peyton on the sidelines.The Bears also play action pass very well. I just think the bears D will force the Colts into being one dimensional and when that happens it's usually lights out for their opponents.

Why would you say that? He is on bond, is not a flight risk, has to work, AND IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! He has not been tried yet!

Boy, are you bitter!

Maybe we should send Tank down there to give you a hug!

I'd be more worried about getting 500+ "caps popped" in my ass than a hug from him.

Yep.

Possible.

Bears will pound Benson and then run Jones which will keep Peyton on the sidelines.

Doubt it. (Have you been paying attention to the Colts D lately?)

The Bears also play action pass very well.

The Colts do it better.

I just think the bears D will force the Colts into being one dimensional and when that happens it's usually lights out for their opponents.

Opposing D's have turned the Colts one dimesional on more than a few occasions and they still lost to the Colts.

Is Tank a threat to anybody in Miami? He didn't kill anybody for Christs sake!He broke his probation.Bears coaches will keep him under close watch.

Maybe. Of course I'm a skeptic, but don't pretend the man is an angel.

Chill Bores fans. I have to yank your cranks at least once a day.

Playing a cupcake schedule will do that.

Oh like the pre-Young Titans and the hapless Texans twice a year, like the last few seasons?

And Denver in Denver. And the Pasties at the Shaving Center. And Baltimore in Baltimore.

Oh, I see you guys played Arizona in Arizona.

I think Addai was the least talked about and most underated rookie that had a serious impact for his team this year. Like Adam said, 1000+ yds and not one single start in the regular season.

The thing is that rookies that rush for over 1000 yards is not really anything special. Whereas rookie QBs that lead their teams to win, rookies that break records, rookies that lead the league in X, are rarer to find. Truth is that there is a rookie that goes for over 1000 yards rushing every season.

 

[Adam Barkley]

Whereas rookies that break records...

1000+ yards off the bench was a record for a rookie. Try again.

At least we didn't lose to Houston.

 

[wolfs]

can i just say that since my packers didn't make it to the dance, i'm so glad that jive's and abark's teams are going up against each other... this is amusing to no end

continue...

1000+ yards off the bench was a record for a rookie. Try again.

And like I said, rookies that run for over 1000 yards happen every year. When you watch football for more than 3 years, you pick up on things like that.

You make it seem like Addai got only 5-10 touches a game. For a guy who didn't start, he seemed to average about 15-20 touches a game. There's many "starting RBs" that average that many touches a game. And you know as well as I do, that Addai got more touches than Rhodes for the bulk of the season.

On the other hand, Maurice Jones Drew accomplished what he accomplished while getting only about 5-10 touches a game, unless Fragile Freddy was hurt. Pretty amazing.

 

[Adam Barkley]

At least we didn't lose to Houston.

Yeah the law of averages worked against the Colts that day. Not exactly a blowout, but I definitely wasn't too happy after that game.

 

[Adam Barkley]

On the other hand, Maurice Jones Drew accomplished what he accomplished while getting only about 5-10 touches a game, unless Fragile Freddy was hurt. Pretty amazing.

Inflated stats was a direct effect of running against the Colts regular-season defense. Ron Dayne, Travis Henry, hell just about every RB's stats were padded with a Colts game on their schedule.
