Wow, I don't think I could have asked for two better matchups here. Seriously, I love it. I would have absolutely hated to even think of the thought of losing to the Cowboys or Eagles in the NFC Championship game, so I'm glad the Bears are going against the Saints, who I've felt sorry for long before the Hurricane Katrina stuff.

The Rex hate is pretty hilarious, as it's still going on in Chicago. People calling into the radio shows to bash Grossman when he played better than just about every quarterback all weekend and won the game for us. Everyone just wants to be right about Griese so much that they will root against the starting quarterback. Amazing really. So was the AP Press Relase: "Gould, Bears able to overcome shortcomings of Rex Grossman". Rex won the game.

I'm a huge huge Peyton Manning fan and the Colts are my favorite team in the AFC. Conversely, I absolutely hate the Pats with every fiber of my being. I don't know what I'd like to see more, a Colts absolute beatdown with Manning throwing 5 TDs, or it coming down to a last second field goal for Vinieteri to rip Belichick and the Patriots throats out. Both would bring extreme joy to me. Though...if the Pats win I will hate life. You know that the Brady and Belichick Lovefest will reach unheardof proportions to the point where it's sickening.

And I sure as heck don't want to play the Pats in the Super Bowl because the leadup will be all 1985 stuff, though I wouldn't mind beating them 46 to 10 again.


Bears 34
Saints 24


Colts 20
Pats 17

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Bears to the Super Bowl!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm in shock I think. Wow, just wow. Wow. That safety was an unbelievable shift in momentum. 16 to 14, and all of the sudden 10 mins later it is 39 to 14.


Go Bears! And now, go Colts! A Colts vs Bears Super Bowl is my dream.

Ditto, Tidu.

That was the best sporting experience of my life! Oh, man, the offense played great, the defense stepped up and played great...I have nothing else to say really. I'm taking tomorrow off. It should be a city holiday anyway.

My campus is 120 miles from Chicago and 65 miles from Indianapolis. The Colts/Bears rivalry goes all throughout the season, and now they're meeting in the Super Bowl? I'm kissing my school goodbye, it'll be long gone, burnt down by the time this is over.

I'm going to agree with Neal's prediction on this one as I feel the Colts has the drive to take it after taking down the Patriots. The Bears have admittedly been playing increasingly well of late, but I just don't think it'll be enough this time.

Colts take the Superbowl.

--------------------

Okay, but there was a goat!

Seeing as how the Chargers decided to suck it up earlier, I'm going with Manning getting a ring finally.

Colts 24, Bears 20

The Saints-Bears game was apinful to watch.

why'd you choose to practice on turf and indoors.

Those fumbles in the first half gave the bears momentum and robbed it from the saints.

The Colts-Pats game was exciting Peyton Manning's Playoff balls finally dropped.

Which is why I'm picking the Colts to win.

Colts-38
Bears-32

You win the internet, sir.

When his career is over and done with, Manning will be mentioned in the same breath as Marino, Montana, Unitas, the greats. That's regardless of if he wins a SB or not, though a SB ring or four wouldn't hurt.

In unrelated news, Vick will be playing for the Raiders next year, and Shaub will be throwing to Randy Moss.

God, the poor Raiders. As much as I think Vick has an incredible amount of potential, the man is weighed down by more ego than most of the NFL combined. I've always been behind them, despite their last few years of mild sucking, and I'd say that here's hoping he can put aside his ego and help them become the team they should be, but who would I be kidding? Still, I have faith in the Raider Nation that we'll eventually rise again. Until then, there'll always be next year and the year after that...and the year after that.

I'm curious to see who the Giants pick up to replace Tiki Barber, be it rookie, trade or whatever. If they do go rookie, I'm hoping it's not another Eli-styled player.

And another reason to hate the Raiders, but to be honest do you really need a reason?

nice games this weekend heres my unusual prediction for XLI:

Colts 28
Bears 19

Manning throws for 500 yards! 1 TD, 4 INTs! Vinatieri is MVP!

the raiders story seems pretty interesting, but I think that JaMarcus Russell will be throwing to Randy Moss in ATL. Vick will probably have a nice running back to compliment him in Oakland (maybe Adrian Peterson!)

My SuperBowl pick is the Colts for this one:

Score:
Colts 28 Bears 17

Damn...Bears...Hatred Magnifying....GO COLTS!!

Colts 37 Bears 35...Vinny wins another one after nailing a 43 yarder...Beat my Saints will you? A New Orleans native will hoist the Lombardi...guaranteed.

Bamf!

This is a webcomic and gaming blog where I rant about nonsense. Enjoy.

I was a soldier, now I just play one in video games.

Gotta give Dungy and Manning their credit. They outplayed the Bears on every side of the ball. Not that that took that much effort today, with how much effort the Bears put out there. If I wasn't personally invested with one team, I'd probably be complaining about the quality of the game. Oh well. Let's lock up Lovie and and Lance Briggs and be back next year.

Nice prediction Baralai

The Colts definately played the game like Superbowl Champions should. i'm proud of them. I was one of two guys who thought the colts were going to win. everyone else thought the bears were (especially after the opening kickoff) going to win.

Edit

at the superbowl party I was at, and while I won money on game bets, i lost half of it playing poker

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

I had a drinking game going on where every time Grossman screwed up or made a bad play call, I had to take a shot. Needless to say by the end of the first quarter, I was trashed.

I wish I had put money down on this game, because I was the only person at the party I attended who was pulling for the Colts. Any team that can trash the Patriots deserves my support. Seeing them take out the Bears so nicely too? Well, they've definitely upgraded themselves in my books, significantly.

That was a fun game to watch.
