Playoffs

So the Bears were looking tough and got the bye week. I was nervous about the Seahawks, and they survived that week - not one of their better performances. I went to the Championship game and they bumbled around for three quarters before they laid the wood on the Saints. Favorite moment of the Championship game? All the idiot Saints fans who got showered with a chorus of "who dat?" once the Bears turned it on. We had a fair number of them in our section - they had been letting us hear it (who dat?) for three quarters - and before you know it, they were gonesters.

What went wrong in the Superbowl? I hate to say it, because I spent all season defending him - too much Rex Grossman. The Bears were down 22-17 in the fourth quarter, with the ball. They were playing against probably the best quarterback in the game, and a future first-time Hall of Famer. And they're in a game that they had no business still hanging around in. They had done a good job defensively in keeping the game from being a blowout.

Then, the pick. If they don't turn the ball over there and get points, it's an entirely different game. But, they didn't, and Indy won. Give 'em credit, they were the better team that day.
