Perfect Storm


Forget all of the technical ananlysis. There are several facts in this game and a few intangibles. The facts are obvious and will play to the stregnths of both teams. It is the uncontrollable intangibles that will decide the game. So here we go.

The facts for the Colts. Their offense is clearly better and they will be able to score.

The facts for the Bears. Their running game is unstoppable. Their defense is much better. Their special teams are the best in the league. Outdoors, Robbie Gould is as good as Adam Vinitari.

It will come down to the intangibles. For the Colts; can their defense continue to out perform as it has lately. Can their offensive line contain the pass rush.

For the Bears the only intangible that matters is Rex. At worst Rex should be a non-issue. At best the MVP of the game.

It is meaningless that the line is 7 and that almost everyone is picking the Colts. This game is smelling more and more like Superbowl III. A young gun quarterback whose games were up and down vs. the wiley vet with all of the experience and poise. No one expected the underdog to win in Superbowl III. The Colts had better be students of history. Da Bears 31-22. MVP-Rex!

i'm not sure comparing namath to rex is very valid, but i guess i see your point. this could validate rex's career more than peyton's. no one is talking about that.

yeah, that's true if grossman wins, things could change for him pretty quick. it wouldn't hurt if he had a good game either. this is one of the most doubted athletes that i can think of.
