Rod Wilson is out for the Bears. Bradley looks about 100%.

 

Harper and Mathis are both active.

 

If Harper's 75% the Colts are lucky. I'd test him if I was Turner...

I can't believe they are still hating on Tank, at least Sharpe knows what's up.

 

 

serious question. What's worse?

 

Tank's issues and being able to play.

 

Merriman testing positive for roids and getting 4 games and now it's like it never happened.

 

For me it's close, but it's Merriman.

 

On that note, I don't know if anybody saw this but starting next year, a positive steroids will prevent a player from participating in the Pro Bowl.

I vaguely remember a game back in the early 60's when the BEARS invaded Baltimore to play these same Colts and their number 1 quarterback, Johhny Unitas. As near as I recall, the BEARS won that one about 57-0. Are there any old-timers out there that remember that one, or am I just getting old and senile ??

 

Early 60s? I was about -20 years old back then - about the same as the current wind chill in Chicago!!

I think it will hinder the bears passing offense more then the colts. The bears like to go for the long ball alot more then the Colts. The colts like to go over the middle to their TE alot and I dont think the wind will have as much effect on that as the long ball.

 

 

No it won't. The Bears are a team that runs it to throw it, while the Colts are a team that throws it to run it. So, the weather will affect the Colts moreso then the Bears. The Bears have no problem with running the ball all game, considering that is their strength.

 

True, but the Colts have been much better at just standing up and running it down an opponents throats lately. The wind won't affect the Colts passing game much-they simply don't go deep all that much. I see the wind as being a pretty neutral factor right now.

I'm not sure I'd let Harper start-I'd rather just have him as the nickel corner for this game if he's not completely healthy.

I ultimately believe it's neutral too. I'm open for any freak gusts of wind that knock the ball out of Manning's hand, though 8-)

 

Actually, I'm just open for any possible way for the Bears to win this game. Anything
