Super Bowl XLI: Bears vs. Colts, Sun 2/4, 5:30 pm CT

[Chris]

There are some VERY cheap Grossman Super Bowl XLI jerseys on eBay.

 

Considering bidding on one right now for 24.99.

 

After an article on Beckett, I checked the price on Grossman's key rookie card. At the price they're going for, it's not that high of a risk.

What Super Bowl are you guys talking about? I heard nothing about the game.

 

The Bus finally got a ring, that's the last Super Bowl I remember.

 

All of that has been blocked from my memory.

 

I don't see why you'd have to block anything from memory, that makes it all the sweeter.

 

I agree to an extent, but that one really really hurt. I did my best to forget that game as soon as "he missed it".

 

Yeah, that 2005 Colts team was the best Colts team I have ever seen-great offense, good defense, good special teams. They just had the tragedy and then too much rest for the key people, and they took 3 quarters off and it was 1 quarter too much. That was a tough one to swallow for sure-in the playoffs, the 2006 team finally started looking somewhat like the 2005 version again.

 

It's interesting. This year's Colts: maybe not quite as high-octane as the 2005 group. But tougher, a little more experienced, maybe a little more battle tested. And that got 'em through.

 

I still don't think that Steelers team was all that great. Should have lost against the Colts----didn't impress me in the Super Bowl, got a ton of calls from the refs, made a couple gadget plays and won it.

[Brian]

it's kind of weird, there were arguably better Colt teams in the last few years, just like there were arguably better Cardinal teams in the last few years than the one that actually won. It's a right place right time kind of thing.

It really is-all you can do is build a consistently successful team, and hope they can find a way to win 1 or 2 championships-if they win more, that's of course a huge bonus.

[Chris]

Going into the playoffs, I have to say that I was a fan of the Colts in the postseason without a bye.

[CubColtPacer]

Well, I guess once again this proves that Bears fans are full of passion-this one thought so much that his team was going to win that now he has to change his name-to Peyton Manning :D

It could be worse I guess

He could have had to change his name to Booger McFarland.

Having my hair spray painted blue at work today seems like a pretty light punishment now.

Apparently Peyton Manning is black or something. :roll:

 

(Of course I think the media is going to extremes on Rex.)

[Sammy Sofa]

I've been trying to figure out how Rush's comments could make any possible sense.

 

There were two white quarterbacks in the game.

 

There are mostly white quarterbacks throughout the league.

 

How is Rex possibly being singled out for being a "white quarterback?"

 

Junky McPillhead must have been on a real bender that day.

Not to mention the fact that the Bears would be replacing him with another white QB-Rush's comments on this one just don't make any sense at all.

[CubColtPacer]

An interesting stat I think provided by Peter King-in the last 4 Super Bowls played in Miami, the losing team has ran a kick back for a touchdown. That's an amazing stat IMO.

dude, that is the most insane thing i've ever heard, and rush has been saying insane things for a long time.

Not so sure about that Soul. That Steelers team completely and utterly outplayed that Colts team, as many Colts fans will admit to. In fact, that Colts team was the benefit of perhaps the worst call I've seen in professional sports, and still was short.

 

That call sickened me, and in a way the Steelers almost deserve the reverse karma in the Superbowl. But not really.

BTW, the Colts got hit with that exact same call from the same referee in the first Jacksonville game this year-so you can rest easy that karma has been served:D

 

Yeah, the Steelers outplayed the Colts, but I think what he meant is that the Steelers were the benefit of a Colts team that was completely shell shocked from the tragedy plus the rest. The Colts didn't come ready to play until the 4th quarter-the Steelers too advantage of that, but it was really the collapse of the Colts team that day, not the Steelers who just imposed their will (with the exception of the Colts offensive line to the Steelers defensive line-there, the Steelers definitely imposed their will). It was the most disappointing thing I've ever seen to see a team that good just look like they were somewhere else for 3 quarters and make mental mistakes they hadn't made all season.

Whatever. In the end its all moot since you guys get to be all happy with your trophy. Never meant or implied that the Steelers were the better team, but they certainly were the best team on the field.

No question about that. Winning championships is rarely about being the best team, it's almost always about being the most deserving.

And last season, the Steelers were the most deserving.
