im a life long bears fan and i think that the bears will win the game!
with that said i dont see how you can get off saying grossman will choke or is a horiable qb when his playoff stats are better than paytons also the bears should beable to run all over indy with the great o line and 2 hard nose backs and like said earlier the bears wont give up on the run and if you want to put lots of people in the box thats fine the bears will hit the deep ball for a td and the d favors the bears to im sick of hearing how payton is so good did you see his comeback yes it was a great comeback but never would have happend if the patriots would have continued the non stop blitzing of payton that was the differance in the afc champs game also special teams is an area the bears once again specialize in so i really find it hard to say the bears will get killed let alone choke and by the way the bears always play better as the under dog that they have been in all the playoffs o yea and they held the #1 O in the nfl to under 20 points bears by 13
With all due respect, comparing Manning and Grossman is idiotic. The Colts have had a better defense in the postseason then Chicago, so i guess by your logic the Colts defense is better then the Bears? Dont forget, Manning faced the number 1 D in the league, and the number 7 D in the league. Grossman faced the 11th best and 19th best D. Big difference.
The talk of how the Bears will just run right over Indy is exactly what i like hearing. I have heard it for 4 weeks now. Johnson didnt do it, Lewis didnt do it, Maroney and Dillon didnt do it. You keep saying you wont give up on the run like those other teams, does that mean if you get down by 2 scores and arent having success running your going to stick with it?? The reasons those other teams gave up is becuase it wasnt working. I dont see what is so hard to understand about that. They will stack the box and force Rex beat them. Freeney and Mathis will hurry him and he will make bad decisions.
By the way, the Pats were blitzing the crap out of Peyton in the second half of that game. So i think you are going to have to search for another excuse as to why the Pats didnt win. Go look at the game winning drive, they blitzed almost every play and hit him every throw, he still completed the passes.
