He's NOT going to win the SB? Oh my God! What's going to happen to him? Car accident? Botulism? Asian bird flu? Shot by a fanatical Bear's fan?
Do you have a crystal ball? Are you psychic? Why do you say such a thing? What terrible thing is going to happen to Payton? What in the world could prevent him from winning a SB, ....because as everybody OUTSIDE Greater Chicago knows, it sure as hell ain't the Bears...........

Don't bet on this game,if you betting against COLTS.They just broke the barrier.Yes the pressure is off,when your one of the best QB's in football history and don't have a League victory or SB ring to show for it,it puts the pressure on.Pressures off now. Watch the future of the colts explode for the next 5 years.They will be in Div playoffs for the next 5 years or more.Payton will wear more than one super bowl ring before he's through.Little bro"Eli" will never win a super bowl.he will never win a div.To much pressure for him to be able to,I hope i"m wrong about him I would love to see brothers win SB rings,it would have been nice if Archie had one.But baby bro Manning still in high school,Who knows what he can do.Archie said he was the best of them all.Looks like we got some good football to watch in the future ."Long live football."

He would need to win the Super Bowl in order to totally lose the criticism. Right now he's Dan Marino.
I think he will win the Super bowl though so he won't have to worry about it.
Eli doesn't care about pressure, I read somewhere that he was out doing karaoke on Christmas Eve after the Giants got waxed by the Saints.

Yea I think so, cause he finally beat the Patriots, that was peoples main criticism of him...
Also I dont know why you say hes not going to win, I see this game about even right now especially since the bears wont have a weather advantage like this past weekend.
Not to mention how satisfying is it to see tom brady have the game squarely on his shoulders and fail?? i was almost in heaven
and to the fellow who said that you take away one of his receivers and the offense crumbles, last i checked whoever number 61 was, hes not harrison or wayne, and he caught a key touchdown yesterday

I don't agree that he got lucky. A comeback from a 21-3 is anything but luck. And who is to say that he won't win the Superbowl? I think the Colt's chances are very good. Of course both teams are excellent otherwise they would not be playing in the Superbowl, right? As far as Eli Manning... he shouldn't feel pressured, he still has lots of time to grow and lots of potential.

Yea at least he got to the BIG GAME. And i dont know how in the world Rex Grossman pulled the bad stuff out of him after being called the worst qb and then the best qb earlier the season. Bears Defense and Thomas Jones and maybe Rex will win this one.

No. They said he carried the team, but all I saw was running backs. He is the most overrated player in the legue. No, little brother always had pressure being "the great one's" bro. Payton and Eli are still pressured. Tom Brady has ok receivers, but he makes it work. Manning has a+ receivers and makes it work. You take away Harrison OR Wayne and the offense will crumble.

i think he got lucky vs the patriots
i mean he deserves it but no
he needs to win the superbowl or else he'll be like dan marino, so good, but cant win the big one
if the pats played up to par, peyton would be cutting that meat
