But they shouldn't have given MVP to Peyton Manning.

The MVP should have been either of the two Indianapolis running backs.....either Dominic Rhodes, or Joseph Addai. Both of those guys were the key to this win for the Colts.

They ran right through the bears.

You were right, Grossman really came through . . ."The worst QB to ever play in the Superbowl, ever!"

He was bad, but to his credit, his stats reflect worse on him than he actually played. I can think of several times where he threw perfectly to an open receiver and the receiver botched his job and dropped it. Incomplete pass? I think there should be an incomplete catch category.

I have always said this, but the two bobbled snaps, that is just bad Qb, you cant make that mistake in any game, let alone the SB! Also, the two int were also horrible, they were not brillan plays by DB, just bad judgement. But i guess the real story is the MIGHTY BEARS D, heck, they looked AWFUL! I think they watched tapes of the old INDY D and copied that. Brian UR-SLACKER was a bit too pompus in the week before.

The better team won, over all a boring game after the 1st qtr.

Not really, the number 3 watched tv event ever, only the 1996 Pittsburgh vs/ Dallas Sb and M*A*S*H* finale had more viewers, last years SB, Pittsburgh vs. someone was number 4. Seems like the Steelers draw big numbers, maybe they should play every year?

First of all, I didn't say he would. I said I hoped he did. And I really think he deserves less hating from people.

The defense is what sucked. He didn't have too many attempts with the ball. When they only had a yard to go in the third down, and he threw it rather than running it, that wasn't his fault. That was the fault of the offensive coordinator. I'm not the biggest football fan so I don't know his name. The other two crap throws of his that resulted in an interception were bad, but you know what? Manning threw one too. He just had that much more time with the ball that he was able to do some good too. I blame the defense, not just Grossman.

Thank God I'm not a football fan or I would have been super ticked off!

The Bear's QB was terrible during that game. Tripping over himself more than once. Their offense barely had the ball the entire game. They started off great in the beginning, but then afterwards the Colts dominated.

Actually, the defense saved Chicago form an really bad time, that score should have beeen 55-17, but the D stepped up enough to Colts from getting at least 3 more TD. The whole Bears team should be embarrassed, as well as every other NFC team, if that was the best , , ,Grosman is a joke and will not last in the league. Peyton is that good, and I actually give the Bears some credit for stopping them as much as they did. Why the Bears didn't continue to run, which was working, and why they didn't bring more pressure on Peyton . . .
You can't win games when you are scared of the other team and that was how the Bears played, scared.

Now the team cancelled a celebration for them home in Chicago, lets give the fans anything. What a bunch of babies!
