I'm not upset about it, I'm just surprised someone, even Paige could say that. And I'm surprised Mariotti didn't say something.

Jeeze, Paige on ATH just said Peyton beat the Bears two years ago 41-10, and then asked what has changed... ummm tons. Urlacher didn't play that game I believe and there are a bunch of other new defensive players.

 

Why are you upset about what Paige says? Everybody with a working brain, knows that the Colts/Bears in 2004, are NOT the same teams in 2007. The Colts are slightly weaker then that team, and the Bears are remarkably stronger then the 04 version. So, if Paige is suggesting that the Colts will beat the Bears something like 41-10, like they did a couple of yrs ago, then he clearly not working on a full tank.

 

Look, I have no problems with the Colts, but I'm tired of the media hyping the Colts as this "unstoppable" machine, that the Bears have no hope of beating. And that is the reason why if I am the Colts, I would be worried, cause the media gave the Saints they same type hype, and look and what the Bears did to the Saints.

 

While I agree that the 2004 results have nothing to do with these teams on Sunday, the Colts team this year is definitely better than the 2004 team-I'm not sure why everybody thinks they are weaker than that team, other than that team scored a lot of points in several games (due to the way that certain teams played them, specifically blitzing a lot). This Colts team is not quite as good as last years, but they are certainly a better bunch than that 2004 squad.

Do you think the running game is as strong now as it was in '04?

I do, but it's a minor quibble (imo). Their running game was at its peak before Edgerrin's injuries.

I think it's actually slightly better. While the 2004 version put up a few more yards, they had significant drawbacks. The running game could only work if the passing game was working. Second, the running game could not do anything on short yardage or goal line situations. That made the Colts rely on the pass-they couldn't have done anything like run the winning TD like they did last week. This running game can be effective in those situations against just about any team.

I agree with that-Edge pre-injury was an absolute monster. Post-injury, he got great yardage because he was a very smart and patient, and because the passing game allowed the lanes to open up on the stretch play. He just couldn't do some of the things he used to be able to do though.

Just wondering, who is going to be announcing the game?

 

Jim Nantz and Phil Simms.

 

Unlness you're at my place where you'll just hear a bunch of incoherent drunken shouts.

 

Not like you'll be missing any hardhitting analysis, these guys are awful.

Kyle Orton is the scout team Peyton Manning (according to Tillman, who was sleeping at a table and ESPN woke him up to ask him who was Peyton)

:lol: Prince had a press conference and he asked for questions, a reporter started to talk and he broke out into a song (he had a guitar and his band and backup singers) played two songs and left without answering any questions.

Looks like Harper missed practice again today. Harper said he has some pain yet will still play, but Dungy wasn't as optimistic.

 

Harper is the only player whose status is in doubt for the game.

Ugh, when I think deeply about this match up I get more and more depressed.

 

I really see the beginning playing out similarly to the New Orleans game. We get some breaks and we don't capitalize fully on their mistakes. Once they get their offense back on its feet they'll steamroll up and down the field and win on a last second field goal or something.

 

Lame.
