I saw it and it looked like the Bears dared them to win via the pass. With Manning just getting his legs under him it looked like he timing was off. Plus I agree with a 3 off the O line out things will be different with Saturday in there.

Colts didn't have their home field advantage, noise last night with the roof and one end open. We'll see how long that lasts before they start playing all their games with the roof closed. Still, even with it closed, the new cow palace is much taller than the old one, so a lot of noise and smell will go up into the rafters......

Noticed they did still hang up their participation banners.

A sarcastic Bill Belichick on Tom Brady's finger injury, "It's not life threatening."

Thread, meet Jack...

Speaking of participation banners, I did NOT like the 16-0 banner the Pats hung at Gillette.

I don't think the Bears dared him at all. They crowded the LOS with 7 players, but the LB's were dropping back into coverage most of the time. Bears looked ready to go, and looked like they were pissed at being 9 point dogs. The Colts/Peyton clearly missed having Saturday under center, and although I didn't want to believe it, the missed TC hurt as well. Abandoned the run way too early as well. Kudos to the Bears and their staff, great game by them.

Meh... It's still a great accomplishment. I will appreciate it a lot more after they win another Super Bowl

Great accomplishment? Absolutely!

Banner-worthy accomplishment? No. Save the banners for the titles.

I saw it on NBC. Brown played well.

Where is the 16-0 banner? I got to the game just in time for the National Anthem so I didn't see it or any ceremony to hang it. Was there one?

On the Colts game, I thought Manning looked really rusty. John Madden kept going on about if Manning was firing on all cylinders he would have made you pay for all the blitzing Chicago was doing. Either he was off or his receivers had the dropsies, and it didn't help him that Marvin Harrison forgot to rehab his serious case of fumblitis in the off-season. Also, Madden kept saying that Chicago was doing a good job on Bob Sanders by getting a blocker on him on every play which allowed their rookie rusher to run up and down the field. I figure the Colts will have some of these kinks worked out by the time we get there. Sigh.

Gwedd

Yeah, Harisson was REALLY off somewhere else mentally last night. He fumbled, dropped a couple, and generally looked like he could here feet coming, which is totally unlike him.

I thought that the entire Colts team looked shell-shocked by the 3rd quarter, and Manning's face said all that needed to be said whenever the camera panned in close.

If it were only one or two plays or players, I wouldn't be concerned (if I were a Colts fan, which I most certainly am not), but the entire team looked bad.
