Indianapolis at Chicago (02/04/2007)

Ive been looking at so many angles on this game. I truly believe that if the colts o and d lines can hold their own the colts win in spite of some of the edges the bears have, PM and the running backs and receivers will have their way if they get time. so many have pointed out what will happen if chi becomes one dimensional.

i dont think a team ever won the super bowl that didnt cover all the way through the playoffs so that favors indy. or maybe that i unloaded all that was left of my bankroll on indy ml and some on the over(do not try this at home kids!, i make a good living and its play money after everything is covered, and im done after SB till sept). or maybe its because 3 men at the heighth of glory recognized that God made it possible for them and humbled themselves(which BTW if youre not religious is irrelevent but not offensive).

BUT I WILL BET THE COLTS FOR ONE OVERWHELMING REASON........MY WIFE TOLD ME TO.

She said after the games while I was semiconscious from food poisoning,"who are you going to bet on for the superbowl honey" and i said i didnt know yet and she said that," Rex Grossman looks funny and throws a bad ball while Peyton Manning is sweet and loves God and his passes look great and if you want me to throw a SB party here youll bet on the Peyton Manning team"  Sounds like solid reasoning to all married men out there.Colts ML large from SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED

3RD and long, freakin hilarious response to chicagosteves homer post and no child left behind educational backgroung reasoning.LOL

If Bigeiii said Colts , than i advise you guys follow him, if not for my sake..

Go Colts

 

 

RIGHT ON THERE

dont the Bears always play well against the Colts?

Hey Guys,  I've been reading these threads most of the season and appreciate the insight. I've won and lost but overall made some thanks Scorpio, Big Daddy, Irish Eyes, Col Jim, etal.

Enough sentiment.........I can't see any way that Grossman can take the Bears over the top. I think that is the key to this game. The Bears have won in spite of him NOT because of him. He had an error free game last week which is out of character for him. Manning is on a mission and he will do anything to pull this game off (see Elway SB XXXII) and will them to win BIG. No more excuses. I like Peyton and Co. BIG BIG BIG and the OVER. Colts 35 Bears 24

 

Sit back and enjoy the cheese!!!

Bears are starting to look public to me.  Guess the people are starting to love the underdogs, they have been hot this year. Anything below 7 and I will pounce on the Colts.

Think the COLTS will win but no sure if they will cover...  Peyton doesn't seem to like natural turf  and/or playing our doors...  Also get a feeling this maybe an under game...  as the bears will look to control the clock with Jones/Benson combo...  keeping ball out of peytons hand.. Remember.. natural turf tends to slow things down just abit.....  Same with the colts to try to exploit the middle of Chi D with Addai/Rhodes..  Something the Saints should have done last week with Duece...  Just a feeling.. still doing research...  will get back...

That had to be done, just had to

Here's my final call. Forget all the talks about defense & running games etc.

 

 

 

 

Let's hope the Bears keep feeling that disrespect.........that seems to really motivate this team........Sports Illustated has a full front cover on Peyton......and just the top corner is given to the Bears game.......Keep disrespecting those Bears I say............and by the way..........the jinx is in full effect.......Peyton on the cover this week.......Saints before that........Garcia before that.........LOL LOL.....no way Peyton can win now.........LOL LOL    

 

 

Interesting points my friend........but I still like the over..............Manning will play well........the Bears have the ability to run the ball very well.........and Indy doesn't stop the run all that well away from home........look at the stats over the whole year and you'll see what I mean.........plus they don't play very well historically in the sunshine state!!!!  Jacksonville and Miami always play them well down there and have beat them down there  a number of times over last five years if I am correct.........I like the Bears with the points because they have a chip on thier shoulder...........most people don't expect them to win......they think Peyton gets off the shnide!!!!!!  But Peyton and the Colts are the ones who will be playing under more pressure to win this game if you ask me.........the Colts had everything go their way in the second half of that game last week.............will it happen again........on the road where they are 4-4 this year????? I "bet" not!!!!  But if they do pull it out.......which is VERY possible.......I think it will be similar to how they did it against the Pats......a lot of skill, a little luck(Wayne fumbles......oh, no, he got it back) and a dash of destiny..........

 

It will be a great game to watch though........for the first time in a few years in my opinion........

GL bud!!!    

 

 

You know I like you 3rd.......and I love your homer posts........but best QB in history.........PLEASE!!!!  Outstanding, underappreciated, under-the-radar.........but BEST!!!!  I think you got into some of my shamrock stash my man............He has NEVER won a championship at any level!!!! Has choked more than excelled in the clutch..........and has some of the worst body language when things go wrong than about anybody......barring his little brother....lol  lol  lol         Montana is the best.........nobody better.......won one in college...........won 4 outta 4 as a pro.........and made Jerry Rice the greatest reciever in the game...........take Montana out of the equation..........and Rice, the Niners franchise history, and Bill Walsh wouldn't be what they are........just one Leprechauns opinion!!!!!              

BIGEIII, 3RD&LONG, DRJ, PHANCARD, TORONTO LEFTY BREAKABOOKIE,BLUEGRASS AND IT        SOUNDS LIKE DANSTYK IS LEANING     COLTS   WOW

 

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR ME.

WAITING TO HEAR FROM

 SCORPIO, BIGDADDY, TEX101, MAUIW, AND I KNOW A FEW OTHERS WHO WILL BE POSTING

ALSO BLACKJACK ALMOST FORGOT HIM.

IRISH & JOHNNYWISHBONE,SMOKEYM  DA BEARS.

 

HEY DANSTYK WATCH OUT FOR THE NITTANY LIONS TONIGHT +9 VS IOWA 25 TIMER ON THAT ONE. THE COLONELS ARE HOME VS FDU. GO WILKES  

Irisheyes - I said PERHAPS when all is said & done. He still has many years left if he stays healthy.

Face it, the guy will own the record book, and if he wins a SB or two he will be mentioned in the same breath as Montana. Not yet, but maybe one day.  Montana / Rice    Manning / Harrison.

 

And while I'm at it, the Colts aren't getting much respect here either. People are still questioning their ability to stop the run after 3 weeks of playoff football. If they truly couldn't stop the run don't you think the Patriots would have ponded it in the second half last week? They didn't because of Manning & the offense's ability to put up points. #1 & #2 defenses in the AFC sent home by the Colts.

 

 

........and they gave up 34 points and still won the game...........purely because it was at home........that comeback tidalwave of emotion would have never materialized on the road........good luck though bud.........You would have a hell of an off season with a Super Bowl........7-1 ticket winner...........plus all the cash from last week multiplied by a Colts win!!!!!  I wish I had my team in the big dance with all that riding on it.............GL.......you will be having more fun than me next Sunday I'm sure!!! LOL

I'm superstitious Irisheyes - no party this year. Just me & the wife cheering our Colts & the wagers on.

Don't want to mess up the mojo. 

And the Colts held the Pats to 20 in Foxboro. But they scored 27 & the Bears scored 13.

So I guess that makes the Colts offense twice as good as the Bears?

Sounds pretty ridiculous, huh?

 

 

amen......no doubt........right on........uh huh.......you betchya.........I'm feelin ya brah!!!!    

 

 

Well.........aaahh.........kinda.........sorta.........hell this is getting tough to follow......LOL  The over is all that matters in my book..........Indy could roll em..........Bears could put up 30 like they do almost every week........don't doubt Rex..........every time we do he shows up.........every time we hail him............he flopps...........good thing he didn't do much execpt win last week!!!!
