I can't tip my hat to any of the teams in the Superbowl.

[Kmess]

how's manning a whiner? Are you sure you're not talking about brady. Manning is one of the most classy leaders in the NFL.

There are actually 6 teams that are actually better than the two teams playing in the superbowl.

List is: Cowboys, Saints, Pats, Chargers, bengals, and special of the week.......TITANS

LOL!! This post takes the cake.

Cowboys - i dont even need to make an argument, just remind you that romo cant catch, the tuna wont be there next year, and TO is already destroying that team. Cowboys = choke artists (see 2nd redskins game, seahawks game, so on...)

Saints - Got destroyed by the bears, how are they better again? Thats like me saying OSU is better than florida after losing by 30....

Pats - Blew a huge lead against the colts, that means theyre better?

Chargers - LOL, not with marty at the helm

Bengals - you do realize they went 8-8.....you havtn gotten any smarter have you

Titans - another 8-8 team, sweet. Why not throw the giants and the rams in there while youre at it

[joelz54_99]

Peyton Manning - statistically the best QB of the past 7 years
Marvin Harrison,Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark - best 1,2,3 recieving combo in the game
Joe Addai - 1,000 yard rookie with great hands out of the backfield
Great o-line - Manning least sacked qb every year
Came from 21-3 down against the patriots, going right down the field every time they got the ball
Moved the ball EVERY posession against Bmore but settled for fgs
Which reminds me.... Vinatieri - greatest clutch kicker in NFL history


Major flaws in the colts offense please....

1. YES, he had Edgerin James for 6 of those years
2. Harrison is great but the others arent that special, theyre ok though.
3. Addai-Average, doesnt have the break away speed
4. Oline-Not as great as they look. The other teams have not blitz Manning as often.
5. BS
6. Yup. The most potent offense won the game with 6 fgs.

Man this offseason is going to be so boring without these great insights from joelz.

[AdL33]

This is all that matters next year: WILL be the best QB in the NFL, if he doenst get freakin' injured again. : (

[KennyK]

I wonder if he does baseball.

Go Devilrays!

[ras2514]

Did you expect Louisville to make it?

LMAO....

another quality, well thought out, and deeply informative football thread by joelz54 ....

Once again his sports wisdom has been passed on to the misc.

[hounds]

1. YES, he had Edgerin James for 6 of those years.

Dont you mean edgerin james had him? Take a look at edges stats this year and your argument dies. Peyton's stats didnt exactly die off this year with two unproven rbs....

2. Harrison is great but the others arent that special, theyre ok though..

Ook bud. Reggie wayne could be a number 1 on 90% of the teams in the league and how about you look at dallas clarks stats against the pats last week (im on such a roll im bustin rhymes out here). Hes a top tight end

3. Addai-Average, doesnt have the break away speed.

Average... thats your opinion. His stats and everyone in the league says otherwise

4. Oline-Not as great as they look. The other teams have not blitz Manning as often..

So now its the other teams fault peyton doesnt get sacked? Teams blitz him all the time, thats how you beat the colts (see steelers, patriots of 2 years ago)

5. BS.

uhh did we watch the same game?

6. Yup. The most potent offense won the game with 6 fgs.

Against the best defense in the league. They drove the entire field 7 times, thats 7 more times that the cowboys did in that same round. Bitter much?

[Lothar]

Anyone here can ask me anything about either team and I will point out their flaws or good points. Not many good points though.

Bears will play a Cover 1 defense like they do for every snap. They rush the front 4 and leave the linebackers in the backfield. Like the Patriots, expect their corners to take away the Colts outside receivers (double team Harrison), leaving Urlacher inside to cover the likes of Dallas Clark and someone else to cover Utecht. Also, Manning likes to hit his backs...who's got them covered? As of this season, the Colts offense has been concentrating on shorteer passes rather than big ones.

Also, Manning is given two weeks to dissect a very one-dimensional Bears defense, while they have two weeks to disect a very complex Colts offense.

Also consider the Colts' playoff success against the rush and .....Rex Grossman.

I believe that if Dungy can get his team calmed down early they can take a lead first. This is bad for the Bears because that has potential to put pressure on Grossman to perform, which he won't. Also, if the Bears score first, the Colts aren't as pressured since their passing game is so good.

Colts win with potential for a blowout.

[zahriya]

Iam sorry but I just dont respect any to the two teams that are going to play this Sunday. The bears have basically made it by teams giving the game to them. quick ex: (NFC championship, How the fck can you let T.Jones run for 130 yds!!!!!) The bears defense probably has scored more TDs than the offense. The Colts have a ****ty defense but manage to pull together and stop the run against the Ravens. The colts running game is average so if you play to stop the pass you win. The colts are very beatable.

With that said, the colts are going to win.

This has to be the stupidest analyst i have ever read.

Bears:

Is it their fault they play in the NFC? And what do you mean how do you let Thomas Jones run for 130 yards? Last time i checked Jones had a 1300+ yard season last year and a good season this year especially WHILE splitting carries. Also the saints dont have a strong defense and Niether does seattle.

Why are you complaining bout the Bears Defense scoring TDS? isnt that a part of the game. Hey here an idea next time vasheer intercepts a pass hell run to his 20 yard line just so the Bears have to go 80 yards. Good Logic. Somone call the Ravens and Bucs and tell them they have to give their rings back.

Colts:

Clearly the best team in the AFC. Last time i checked they were the last undefeated team in the AFC WITH many injuries. Heres an idea why dont you go to google and search Bob Sanders. and Yes 1 player on defense can make a difference.
Stop the pass and youll win? Last time i checked the colts rallied around their running game that opened the passing game. DId you even watch their games? Oh thats right i guess we have to make it "fair" like the Bears do with their defense so for now on Peyton Manning is no longer allowed to audible on the line of scrimmage from pass to run or the direction of a run.

[MrDreamWeaver]

Chargers are the best team in the NFL. Lost a playoff game to the pats because of stupid mistakes after stupid mistakes. Oh well.

Bears V Colts should be a good game.

[Lothar]

Stop the pass and youll win? Last time i checked the colts rallied around their running game that opened the passing game.

This is correct.

That was one of the biggest things that the Patriots said caught them off guard, was the Colts continually going to their rushing game, even when trailing by 18 points.

Addai and Rhodes will play heavy roles.

[Lothar]

Chargers are the best team in the NFL. Lost a playoff game to the colts because of stupid mistakes after stupid mistakes. Oh well.

Too bad they actually lost to the Patriots.

Due to personal fouls.

[BPP]

like anyone cares what you think

by this point you're as credible on football as paris hilton

Wow i'm so proud of the misc today. We bitchslapped joelz back to reality like never before. Other times we've talked some sense into him but nothing like this, it was quick, ruthless, and to the point. Notice how he stopped posting in his own thread even though hes still logged in...

opps i meant the pats lol. well it made me happy that tom brady lost the following game by an interception

Yeah, I made a post above after he wrote:

He is deeply confused about football.....it would be entertaining to hear his views on other sports.

negged for idiocy

[ViolatorJF]

I believe it will take big mistakes on the Colts behalf to not win this game.

If you've watched the Bears play at least a few of their regular season games you would have noticed how many they somehow managed to win even though it seemed they would lose. Some call it skill, I call it BS that's about to run out.

At the same time the Colts have edged out many teams throughout this season by a thin margin. However, the big difference here is that they are consistent in what they do. Maybe they only win by a small margin of victory, but they managed to do it week in and week out. They don't count on the other team to lose the game, they count on themselves to win it.

I think Grossman is an awful QB and he's darn lucky they have a notable defense & special teams. I'm still in awe at how the Bears actually ended up in the Superbowl. Oh I know what could happen! Maybe this year the Bears will win in some crazy way and then people will stop talking about how the Seahawks got routed out of a championship last year and start talking about how the Bears did it.

[Lothar]

I believe that's a big reason they've done so well in the playoffs this year.

It used to be they beat the **** out of every team until the playoffs, but this season, they kept the scores fairly close and shifted into the playoffs with the right mentality and a better way of dealing with a close game.

you must have only watched a 'few' then

winning margins...10 of their 15 wins were by double digits
26, 27, 33, 31, 31, 18, 10,10, 15, 25(NFC Championship game)

the closer ones were 3, 1, 3(OT), 5, 3(OT)

speaking of idiocy, the bears are my precious team
