Colts vs Bears

[madskier6]

Bears' defense, special teams & running game will be the difference. Grossman won't have to perform that well for them to win. Bears' ground game will keep Peyton on the sidelines more than he's used to. Uhrlacher will take over the game in the 4th quarter. Bears in a close one 24-21.

Remember, everyone picked the Saints against the Bears and the Bears running game wore them out eventually. Colts are a better team than the Saints but you can't underestimate the Bears.

You make some valid points the thing that would scare me the most if when Grossman starts scrambling, just throw the damn ball away, he acts like its a timebomb and has to throw it to somebody anybody even if its the opponent, he scares the hell out of me, he thinks hes brett favre and can fit the ball into tiny spaces. His problem is he throws a really really good deep ball, but like Eli is horrible throwing the short pass and very inaccurate which in my opinion will do him and his team in.

Also, every one thought that the Colts would have trouble with Larry Johnson and KC...they shut the 2nd best running game in the NFL down cold; KC didn't have a first down until the 3rd quarter.

As I recall, the Pats running game didn't do much either.

That's exactly why I don't think the Bears have a prayer; the Colts are going to shut the Bears run game down and make Grossman beat them. I don't think he's going to be able to do that.

Totally agree with you Jim, and i dont get the colts run defense, horrible during the season, now its just great??? Makes no sense. If the Bears want to win this game they better get 2 scores from either defense or special teams, otherwise i dont even think the game will be close.

Dungy is a fox...not to be trusted.

Why burn the team out in the regular season trying to go undefeated because the media wants it? He wants a championship. What better way to screw all your competition than playing D one way during the season then another during the playoffs, especially a defense that's built on speed rather than size?

If the Bears win, it will be because of their special teams which are clearly superior to the Colts.

Jim just curious if u agree with that statement i made before that if u took the 4 best players off each team like for Indy , Manning, Wayne, Harrison, and Freeney and then the best 4 for the Bears which wouldnt even include their QB that the Bears would then be the far superior team?

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

If im Lovie time to play dirty, i send a scrub in there to smack Manning down, take the 15yd penalty and hopefully ruffle his feathers up and re-injure that thumb, ya sounds bad but hey do u wanna win or what.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Of course that could backfire and just piss them off more and 55-10 here we come

I agree about Grossman. He scares the hell out of me too and I'm a Bears fan. If Grossman does what you say, the Bears will be in trouble. I don't think the Bears' coaches will let him lose the game, however. He'll be on strict instructions to establish the running game early and throw the ball away if he gets flushed out of the pocket.

I agree that the Colts' run defense has been impressive lately. If the Bears' offensive line can control the line of scrimmage early and establish a solid running game, Thomas Jones & Cedric Benson will be the 1-2 punch that could make the difference. Add a couple of early field goals from Robbie Gould, who has been Mr. Automatic, and Grossman won't have to win the game and any mistakes he makes won't be the difference.

Not really because Hestor is one of the Bear's best players and he's a big part of their special teams superiority. Without him, they lose alot of the one big advantage the Bears have over the Colts. Also, the Bears would have to give up Urlacher and probably at least one other defensive player, so their advantage on D would be compromised.

In NFL championship games, it usually comes down to the QB's. The biggest reason I think the Colts will win big.

Wow i would hate to be in your shoes , hard to believe they have all this controversy about their QB and had the season they had, well the good news is recently teams like Baltimore, Tampa Bay have both won the big one and like your team had a superior defense and a QB and offense that nobody trusted.

Bear's D overcame their qb's inconsistent play and it helped big time playing in a weaker division. IMO Rex is the wild card, he puts his D in a short field against the hawker, it will be a blow out.

Weakness in colts offense is well known, da bears have the manpower to execute it.

No way would Lovie ever do that. He really is one of the most high-character guys in the league. According to his players, he doesn't even curse. Also, Lovie and Tony are very close friends from when Lovie was Tony's DC down in Tampa.

That being said, I'd do the same thing.:lol:

 

[Warp Daddy]

I agree Lovie is a very classy act

 

[SkiFirst]

Colts will win in a close game. Maybe 24-20

 

[ajl50]

Really this is the most boring game ever right now.
SHOOT ME.
The bears offense is just so bad.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Ok the game is finally almost upon us, who do you got and why? I just feel the Colts have slayed the dragon and its all downhill from here, i cant find a reason why they can lose so im picking them 38-17..

Well i had the 17 right, hmmmm and for all you betters with conspiracy theories if they kicked that field goal at the end and you bet the over you would be in great shape at 47 being the number, but ummm no they just gave the ball back so you LOSE.

Ummm did i have this dude pegged or what???

What a crap game. I'm a Chicago native, and in no way did the Bears deserve to win, I don't think either team deserved to win after watching that game. And on top of it, the commercials sucked!

 

[Warp Daddy]

I have been a Bears fan since Moses was boy BUT please guys GET RID OF GROSSMAN---ARGGGHHHHHHHHHH. No talent --little brain n o field generaklship keeps thinkinh he can throw into double and triple coverage EVEN tho he's toodamn small to see over the rush ------------AARGHHH

Even the Bears didn't pull it off my NEXT fav team did ( Harrison and Frehney --ex - SU Orangemen)

Shiek i agree even the commercials sucked
