Hey, at least now I'm qualified to work for ESPN.

epic super bowl, tons of storylines

bears colts super bowl is going to make for a fun 2 weeks

I gotta say Im glad we arent facing Belichek in the Superbowl. I think the Bears defense will be able to hold back the Colts offense better than the Colts defense will be able to hold back the Bears offense.

Bears got another fan now for the superbowl.

Make that 2!

I'm so glad, though I never thought it'd happen. The Patriots scare the s*** out of me. At least with the Colts, you have the opportunity to run up a score on them and hope you can play defense enough.

I can't believe Reche Caldwell's two drops.

That's the s*** that usually happens to the team facing the Patriots, not them.

Including the one where nobody was covering him at all and he could have run in for a TD. That cost em the game right there.

There is a lot of oopsies around here today.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I'm going to put the Bears at 8 point underdogs right off the bat.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on finally making the big one Greasy.

 

I honestly have no idea who to root for in the SB.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats sir.

Well, it's good to see a nice midwestern superbowl. I'm glad Peyton finally made it, I've always been a fan of his. It kind of sucks that the year he finally makes it I have to root against him, but I won't complain

Including the one where nobody was covering him at all and he could have run in for a TD. That cost em the game right there.

 

And dont forget the other one, where he was actually in the endzone with noone covering him. Caldwell left 14 points on the field in a crucial time of the game. I wonder if Brady is missing Deion Branch right now?

Yup. I forgot about that one.

 

 

Caldwell is probably out looking for a bridge to jump off of right about now.

I wish that were really the case. Id put money on Bears and the over.

Technically they left 4 points on the field as they ended up getting a TD on Caldwell's first drop (the one in the endzone) and a field goal out of his 2nd drop. However, those 4 points were crucial.

 

You got to hand it to the Colts, they had there backs to the wall and found a way to come back and win and its no secret that it started with them being able to run the ball because that makes Peyton so dangerous (the LB's have to come closer and it means he'll have seams all over the field in addition to him being the best play action QB in NFL history).

 

Well the Bears have played great to get to the place they need, but this is the game that matters and they'll have to play there best game of the season. This is the game that will define this Bears squad (and the Colts squad).

 

That is not a f***ing roughing call

That call and the pass interference call in the end zone were horrific calls. Face-guarding, unless I'm greatly mistaken (and I dno't think I am) there is no penalty for face guarding and since the CB made no contact that should not have been a pass interference. That call was absolute horses*** (again unless I've been dead wrong about this not being an NFL penalty cause I could swear that face guarding was completely legal in the NFL).

Face guarding is illegal. You have to be making an attempt at the ball.

I thought faceguarding was only illegal in NCAA?

Dome teams are a money loss in this weather, and wow the Bears played well. Not much else to add there....but I must say I have to eat crow on Mr. Manning, he came up HUGE today and will be in Miami. Amazing that the PATRIOTS were the chokers today though.

I thought faceguarding was only illegal in NCAA?

I'm 99% sure that is the case.

 

I looked it up and found this from an NFL ref (dated in 01 though):

 

3) What is the official rule against "face-guarding" when a defender is trying to break up a pass? Is there a certain amount of space he must be within of the receiver for this penalty to be called?

 

There is no such thing as face-guarding in the National Football League. It is legal to face-guard a receiver. In order to have pass interference you must have contact. Any act without contact is not considered a foul.

 

Just to verify, I found a 06 source that said the same thing. Faceguarding is completely legal in the NFL. The only thing that can cause PI is contact.

I can't believe Reche Caldwell's two drops.

Well, if you'd just checked his Wikipedia page, it would all make sense.

 

 

 

wite = super pwn3d by 3E8 and Gage

 

I guess in that case, it's a bad call, though I personally think face guarding is ridiculously cheap and should be illegal.
