Damn. I wanted to see the Patriots at the Superbowl. Oh well. I'm not sure who I want to win.

[Busyman™]

For the first time in history a black coach will win the Superbowl. Will it be Lovie Smith or Tony Dungy?

The Colt made history by staging the greatest comeback in a conference championship. 18 points FTW!

Manning is a warrior.

I'll have my picks later. It ain't easy.

Damn. I wanted to see the Patriots at the Superbowl. Oh well. I'm not sure who I want to win.

Why? They been 3 times in the last 4 years. They were last team I wanted to see there. I'm rooting for the Colts.

Are you a Pats fan?

[famous45]

Colts finally get to Big Show and Manning can finally earn his huge salary. I am sooo glad they won. Fucking great game and an unbelievable comeback. Joseph Addai, your the man.

I'm voting for the Superbowl Shuffle, 2007 style. I know you got it in ya Grossman, git yer shuffle on.

GO Colts!!!

[clocker]

This is a tough one to call.

Initially, I guessed the Colts would wipe up da Bears but upon further reflection, I'm not so sure.
Depends on which version of the defense shows up.

For most of the first half the Pat's defense had Manning's number- it wasn't until exhaustion and the flu(?) depleted them that the Colts took over.

If the Monsters of the Midway defense makes it to Miami, I think the Bears can win...assuming of course, that Grossman doesn't give the game away.

[SpiderPig]

Hate both teams...

Predictions:

1. Manning 3 INTs
2. 1 Kickoff return for a TD by Hester
3. GROSSman 4 INTs, 1 for TD by Bob Sanders, 6.2 Passer Rating
4. Addai 2 Running TDs
5. Vinateri wins the game with a FG with 5 seconds to go.
6. Tank Johnson gets shot after the game
7. Final Score: 27 - 24 Indy

I don't even care about the SB anymore. I watch it, but not intently. Both teams play so conservatively now, it's rather boring imo.

For me, the best games of the year are the AFC/NFC Championship games.

Suit yourself.:smilie4:

I'm probably going to have house full o folks for a Superbowl party.

Who knows, this may be a great game like the AFC Championship.

I like the fact that this one is a tough one to call.

[Midnight720]

i don't know what you mean by conservatively, last two bears games i saw them go for it on 4th down in the first quarter when they could have just gone for the easy 3

2007 shuffle!!

If you'll read my post, it says the teams play too conservatively in the SB (Super Bowl).

The last 2 Bears games have not been the SB, have they?

[Busyman™]

I'm quite happy that 2 black head coaches made it thus insuring one would win.

Maybe Lovie, who is one of the lowest paid head coaches in the league can get that up in pay that he wanted.

He has certainly earned it at this point.

I was hoping for a Colts/Saints matchup, but it's all good. I'm pulling for the Colts to win, I'd like to see Manning and Harrison go ahead and get their rings. I think they will win too, if the Colts D can contain the Bear's running game. Yeah, that's a hard call if you've witnessed the Colt's run defense, but they effectively stopped KC, Baltimore, and the Pats (the Pats would have probably urn if they continued to run in the second half). If they can stop Chicago's, it will be up to that Grossman to win it for them, and I doubt very seriously his ability to do so. Offensively, the Colts will have to rely on some big plays from Manning and his receievers. I do not foresee the Addai/Whodes combo to be an effective one against the Bears' D'. They will probably be shut down for most of the game but I think 2-3 big plays can get them (the Colts) the win.

[DefX]

Im picking the Colts to win this one by at least 10 pts. I believe grossman will melt under the huge spotlight and even the great bears defence wont be enough to salvage it for them. The fact that the Colts had to struggle to win their last sunday's matchup againts the pats should benefit them too.

[shosh]

Bears ftw
even though grossman is useless, i think they will not give him alot of responsibility and the defense will tear the colts apart

[midoss]

the Colts will win
Manning is Superbowl mvb

[pimfram]

bears dont stand a chance. if peyton doesnt blow it for indy

[clocker]

Bears win 27 to 24.

[Dooskey]

I think the Bears win this one. They should be able to run the ball - even though Indy has done a good job stopping it so far this post season. But with the 2 good backs, I think they'll get it done. Peyton will crumble under the big game pressure once again, and the Bears are champs.

[Prior]

I've got the Colts winning 27-24.

[SpiderPig]

Superbowl party 2mrw, damn I CANT WAIT!

[maebach]

colts> beears
24-17

[Celerystalksme]

It will be a close game because i doubt there will be that much offensive flair, Manning will get the job done because i think he wants that ring more than anyone. A 23 - 17 win to the Colts is what im predicting. Thank god i dont have work tomorrow so i get to drink and watch the game (mind you it starts at 10am in Australia...so i will be drinking early). =D

[DefX]

Colts over Bears 27 - 17

[DefX]

^^^ Damn i almost got the final score: 29 - 17 :)

Congrats to the Colts fans around here

[Dooskey]

It was a pretty entertaining game - espically for the first quarter and a half or so. I was pulling for the Bears, but it was a solid game overall. Plus, a nice win for Dungy and Manning, they both seem like pretty solid guys.

It's sad that I found battlefield 2 more interesting than the superbowl this year... or is football just that boring to watch for me?

[Barbarossa]

Well I watched for a bit, but I couldn't work out what was going on, so I went to bed :dabs:

Yeah I will admit that NFL football and is not as simple as soccer.

3. GROSSman 4 INTs, 1 for TD by Bob Sanders, 6.2 Passer Rating 2 INTS, 1 TD, 1 INT for TD
4. Addai 2 Running TDs 0 TDS :'(
5. Vinateri wins the game with a FG with 5 seconds to go. Not Really..
6. Tank Johnson gets shot after the game Maybe
7. Final Score: 27 - 24 Indy At least I got the winner right:cool:

Bolded: Correct stuff.. I only got the Kickoff return right :(

[tralalala]

was a great first half..
it didnt seem so amazing towards the end because the Bears only scored 3 pts in the second half.. plus the fact that returning a kick for a TD after 14 seconds in the Superbowl.. it can only go sort of downhill from there (although Mannings 50 odd yard pass was amazing).. just wasnt as exciting this year

[xr4ti]

last year was more exciting for me except that my team lost :(

The 50 yard pass to Reggie Wayne? Meh, he was wide open. It was a defensive lapse by the Bears. I thought the best part of the SB was Prince's half time show. Man, I wish I was there. The rest of the game was just...okay. Too many turnovers though.

Peyton Manning deserves a Super Bowl ring. He has a great career and his future looks even brighter after winning the SuperBowl.
