Really, they didn't compared to how they have played. They are missing key players on defense in Tommy Harris and Mike Brown. That's going to slow your defense down a bit and change things up. The run offensive did what it needed, but look for Benson to be getting the ball A LOT more I think. Grossman stepped his game up and played where he should have. I know the Bears can play better but considering how horrid they have played this was a wonderful sight for Bears fans.
People are always saying that Benson should get the ball a lot more but he does not a very good pass blocker. Benson might be a better runner but unless he can pass block well enough then why have him in? So the other team knows that you WILL run the ball? I think he has gotten better at pass blocking but not good enough to have him play the majority of the minutes over Thomas Jones.
I agree he needs to work on his pass blocking and yes that was pointed out in the last game that you know if Benson is in he's going to get the ball. I mean Jones isn't a bad back at all he's consistant and seems to work hard and shows he plays with a lot of emotion. I fully respect Thomas, since he has done A LOT for this team.
I'm rooting for the Colts, but wow. That would go down as one of the greatest events in sports ever. I could only imagine the look on Manning's face.Originally Posted by Bill Simmons AKA The Sports Guy
What I've been listening to:
Too bad Vinatieri is shallow and just went for the money. There is no good reason to root for the Colts. I still think they are the most overrated team in the past decade, and Peyton Manning is the most overrated quarterback.

My honest opinion? I'm from New England, but no matter who the Colts play, I want them to lose. But I want New Orleans to win the superbowl, even over the Pats. Basically if the pats and the saints both win, I have a win win superbowl

Go colts. And oddly enough the ESPN.com AccuScore that runs 10,000 simulations to see the highest winner says chicago 58% to win NO 41%

ok then, I'm going for both the underdogs apparently. I'm use to it. Pats weren't favored to beat the Chargers, but they did. Now the Colts are favored, even though we beat the most likely to win the superbowl. My teams are always the underdogs, no matter how well they continue to do.

The Colts are far from overrated, in the regular season they have proven time and time again that they are a dominant team. The Playoffs change them, and people realize not to expect them to do amazing. They are very low expectations for them in the playoffs every year.
Manning is one of the best QBs in the league, despite his poor playoff performance. Sure, he doesn't have the rings like Brady does but Dan Marino doesn't have any rings either and he is largely considered one of the best QBs of all time.
No matter how much you and Sigmund Freud want it to be, 'mother' is not a curse word.
No where near Montana though
Certianly not by me. If you can't win the big games, it doesn't matter what else you do... seriously.

I'm just so sick of the pats winning, living in New England and all has sucked the last few football seasons with my entire family saying "ohhhh why not root for a really team!" and "HAHAHAH BEARS ARE THE SUX" I just want chicago to go farther then NE xD
how has it sucked? Alright, maybe I appreciate it more because my dad had season tickets for 35 years to a losing team, and now they're finally good and doing something.

Because I've lived my entire life being a Bears fan and living in a family of Patriot fans who dispise the Bears due to the last Super Bowl match up they had. (Which was the first Bowl I ever saw, hence my love for the Bears) The Bears have had like 2 winnings season since then. Ok maybe more but not many. And every time they do make it to the playoffs they go out asap. And really I think tillman said it best, "If we go this far and lose, who knows when we'll be back here again." Seriously, Lovie Smiths contract is up this year, who knows how long Urlacher and Brown have. They're both getting old Same with Krutz (center) Muhammad only has maybe a season or two left I'd say. I can't see him playing much longer. I amy be wrong but I think we only have this year and maybe next to do something for another 20 years.
Also it's been 21 years since Chicago played in a Super Bowl, and the Patriots have won what 4 in the last 6 or something. 3? whatever, they've done their winning
3 in the last 5, was 3 out of 4, they win this one, will be 4 out of 6Because I've lived my entire life being a Bears fan and living in a family of Patriot fans who dispise the Bears due to the last Super Bowl match up they had.

It will be kind of boring if the Patriots win again. Also if the Bears win, because that team puts me to sleep. Manning finally making it or New Orleans going from zero to hero would both be great stories.
