How about some predictions not only on Score but how the game will go?
And Identify whether or not you're a huge fan of either team or just a regular football fan.
Me Bears fan since birth. My oldest's middle name is Payton. Not PEyton but PAyton.
Bears 31 Colts 28.
Bears keep Peyton off the field with solid running game. Grossman is steady but not spectacular just like he was against the Saints. Doesn't turn the ball over, overall stats nothing to write home about but he makes the plays and passes when he needs to. Defense or Special Teams makes 1 TD. Rex throws for one. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson each run for 1.
Manning still has good game the Bears beat the Colts D. The main reason Manning doesn't win is the Bears relying heavily on the run keeping him off the field.
Time of Posession winds up being key to victory along with no turnovers.
Gator factor was non-existent. The Colts cut off their tails and BBQ'd them.
Your dream turned into a nightmare didn't it?
Keep your day job. This was the second highest audience in Super Bowl history.
The Bears were outplayed and outcoached all down the line.
When Manning went to the no-huddle in the first quarter I knew the Bears were in trouble.
Great tactic. Keep the defense from substituting and wear it down in the humidity. This was exactly what happened. Manning is the only qb in the league who could have pulled this off, too.
Rather than saving timeouts the Bears should have used some for substitutions and to catch a breath.
They will be back, more experienced and better.
When I saw Ian Scott and Tank Johnson getting blown off the ball and pushed 5 yards down the field, I knew the Bears were in big trouble. You can't defend the run against that.
Nope. And when the qb is completing passes while falling down, or throwing to wide open receivers for tds while on the verge of getting smashed you generally lose.
