The short postseason is indeed the case. Damn fine season by the Bears, who overachieved tremendously with that pop-gun offense and a good (but not great) defense. They were exposed in a pressure situation today. Over 400 yards allowed, able to score 21 with the aid of six first downs aided by Panther penalties (I didn’t realize the Carolina defense made this many mistakes…they sure did today…but still won).
Carolina-Seattle. That’ll be a pretty good game. Oh, and New England (many observers chose them to make the Super Bowl again…Rob) are done, too. All in all, a pretty good weekend.

Humble pie is awful with no whipped cream. This team and gameplan were not even close to what had worked all season. Where was the blitz? Where was the run game?
I never bought into the “Grossman is our saviour” mentality. It made the Colts game plan and Manning passing game impersonation even more ridiculous.

You’re a standup guy, Rob, I’ll tell you that.

Amen, Rob. I can’t tell you how sick I was after seeing Smith score on the second play of the game and then seeing the Bears THROW THREE STRAIGHT TIMES on their first posession. Rivera may have punched his ticket back to the Bears after that gameplan.
The great thing about being a Cubs and Bears fan is knowing your teams will step it up when the big games come.
Sickening.

They actually lasted a few hours more than the colts.
