The combos commercials are weird yet funny at the same time

I can't imagine myself watching my favorite team play in the Super Bowl and be sitting at my computer talking about it online while it was going on. To each his own though.

 

Ever hear of a game thread?

 

I'd like to add that the spectacle currently playing itself out on the field is an affront to the sport of football.

Nevermind.

Lovie's pre-game speech revolved around how the team is once again underdogs ("7-point underdogs, here we go again). He didn't finish his speech because he broke down after saying this had been his best year.

 

Deion Sanders talked to Hester and told him not to press or worry - good plays happen, don't try to make them happen.

 

Gould and Maynard were at Dolphins Stadium on Wed and the winds are the exact same way today so they feel prepared.

[Chris]

Come on Peyton, do it for big brother

Can this game just start already?

 

20 minutes.

[Chris]

About time to leave to watch the game.

 

Enjoy the game everyone, regardless of who you're cheering for. It should be a great game.

Grossman looks pumped as hell.

[CubColtPacer]

Both these teams look pretty focused.

[Jazz]

the colts hour long pregame show is finally over

[Jon]

Crap. WBBM 780 is a good 15 seconds ahead of CBS.

Things I want to see:

 

1) Punishment. Don't let the Colts have easy yardage, don't let the receivers just run down the field and grab passes uncontested

 

2) Pressure. Do not allow Manning to throw when he wants to. Make him throw early, and get sacks.

 

3) Turnovers. Get the ball back, score on defense.

 

4) Ball control. Long drives, keep Peyton off the field, run the clock while putting up points. Do not turn the ball over.

 

Things I don't want to see:

 

1) Open Colts receivers catching easy passes

 

2) No turnovers by the Colts, or they win the turnover battle

 

3) Not representing what Bear football means: wimpy hits, bad fundamentals, just tackling instead of punishing........none of these are acceptable on this stage.

 

4) Colts finishing drives with touchdowns instead of field goals.

 

 

If we see the first set of factors, the Bears may have a chance. Play like that second set? Bears will have no chance.

 

CUT THROUGH, BEARS. CUT THROUGH :evil: BEAT THE ODDS.

Wind 10 mph from the north

Light rain showers

The field is in great condition.

Dan Marino will flip the coin.

 

Lovie asked Mike Brown to be a captain for the coin toss and he passed - just like in the NFC Championship.

[Butterscup1679666578]

The crowd seems louder for the Bears. I like.

[CubColtPacer]

The Bears definitely have more of a support there than the Colts do, if that be because they have more true fans there or they have people cheering for the underdog, I don't know.

[Jon]

BEAR DOWN

[Butterscup1679666578]

I didn't want the ball :evil:

[CubColtPacer]

My house just went crazy! The Colts have lost the toss in every single playoff game, so we all wanted to lose it again-We lost the toss!!!! :D

[E.J.]

God I'm nervous...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Damn, again no feed on WBBM online. Stupid NFL. :(

[Soul]

I really didn't want to have the ball first. Damn.

 

I think I detected Urlacher wasn't happy either.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Friday on WGN radio, Gov Rod Blagojevich predicted.......

 

Indianapolis   28
BEARS          31

 

while the Gov of Indiana predicted.......

 

Indianapolis   28
BEARS          24

 

Obviously biased, no?

[Jon]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
