Very good point, but the Colts are not looking sharp right now. Two false starts is unacceptable.

Jones for no gain

Grossman incomplete pass to Berrian. Bears to punt

Colts were not mentally prepared to begin this game. Lets see if this was just temporary or will last the entire game. This upcoming drive will tell a lot.

yeah, the Colts have a gret chance to get back into this ballgame now,. They need a first down or a steady drive. Points would be great, but just some production would be enough

Injury to Benson may be the best thing to happen to the Bears offense.

The Colts are doing a great job of keeping this game close despite being outplayed on a lot of levels

Incomplete to Berrian

Jones for 4. Bears to "phunt"

Grossman shows why he is NOT considered a Super Bowl level QB right there.

And Manning is MVP...Damn it

Thanks to everyone who joined in...This was really a good event, dispite the Bears losing

I'll go in and plus all the good comments tomorrow!

Well, good game. I didn't expect, nor hope for that outcome, but it was good to at least see the Bears in the big game. If it's not the Bears and it's not the Patriots, then I am glad its the Colts. I just hope we don't have to hear how Peyton finally won a big game all off-season and next season.

Maybe its the beer talking but since we reached 400+ comments I'll add in 40 bucks to a charity to be decided. Maybe to the "Bring Back Briggs Foundation." Goodnight all.
