Yeah, i think they got a pretty damn good shot. Indy isn't all its cracked up to be.
I think Chicago will win. I think a lot of people are too hard on Grossman, especially those who only see a few games. Over the course of the season the offensive line was having trouble giving him protection, which is what caused his poor-decision making. He throws the ball very well, and he doesn't need to be stellar to win the game. Peyton, on the other hand, has to be PERFECT against a defense that will be hungry to get at a QB legend. If peyton can avoid the mistakes he made in the first two playoff games, then it will be a close game. Otherwise, look for Chicago's defense to dominate him into throwing INTs, making even Good-Enough Rex a Superbowl champion. As he well deserves. There is arguably no one else in the league who has had to deal with as much scutiny and criticism than him all season long, only to go out on the field and have all the nay-sayers still scratching their heads.
Defensively, The Bears win out hands-down. No other defense in the league has produced as many turnovers, which is gonna be key in this game. The Colts, meanwhile, have struggled all season on defending the run, but lately they've picked it up some with the return of Sanders. Still, though, the mathcups to watch out for will be Urlacher-Manning, and Sanders and Co. versus Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson. The bears have NEVER relied on the QB, which is why i find it odd how Grossman has been criticized as the downfall of this super team.
You also forget that Rex played Florida, as did Alex Brown, and they'll have all of Gator nation at their disposal. Hester also grew up by Miami and attended, and excelled as a returner with Miami, so it is a true blue Homecoming this game. Ogunleye played with the Dophins, so, while its not "Bear Weather," i don't think it will matter too much.
Everyone forgets Peyton's stats in his first complete season (which Grossman JUST finished).
Manning threw 575 times, and connected on 326 of them with a 56.7 completion rate, passing for 3,739 yards with 26 touchdowns...but more interceptions - 28. He finished with a 73.9 QB rating.
Rex, on the other hand, threw less times for less yards, throwing 480, and connected on 262 of them, giving him about the same completion percentage (54.7). He finished with 3193 yds - not much less than Peyton, but had more TDs than INTs - something Peyton didn't do. Grossman threw 23 TDs and only 20 INTs - 3 less Touchdowns, but 8 less INTs.
Peyton's Colts finished 3-13 that year. The Bears finished 13-3.
Everybody needs to cut Rex some slack. The Bears can win without him, though i know they'll win bigger WITH him. The colts need to be PERECT on both sides of the ball. The Bears have more breathing room than you think. Bears by 3.
And i'm from Chicago. But i explained everything, so i'm not just some diehard fan spouting nonsense. I know i may be biased...but a lot of what i've stated is general observations.
Its gonna be a good game - whatever team wins, i doubt it'll be a blowout. GO BEARS!

I don't think Rex Grossman is consistent enough for Chicago to win.
Peyton is hungry for a Super Bowl and the Colts will play their hearts out for Dungee and Manning

It all comes down to who is better that day. History shows defense wins championships as it is easier to be consistent on defense.
I am hoping the bears win, but I like Peyton as well.

no the colts are going all the way the game is the colts offense v.s the bears defense. and the colts offense is going to smash the bears defense.

Only if Rex stays on his meds. His psychologist needs to keep him doped up, so as not to experience "loss of confidence" or whatever lame excuse he uses for his periodic meltdowns.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Urlacher wont lose.
