Super Blow

I'm sitting here this morning still in a bit of a daze after yesterday's Super Bowl. I'm not even sure what I want to say about the game.

It sucked. I know that.

Maybe it was a good thing that the rain gave us all somewhat of a blurry picture throughout most of the game, saved me from seeing just how bad that was.

I'm sad, pissed off, and numb all at the same time.

There were so many things that I just didn't get while watching that game. Why didn't they give Thomas Jones more carries? He only averaged more than seven yards a carry. Why did the defense play so damn conservative? It was obvious pretty early that it wasn't going to work, Peyton was dinking and dunking to death.

The fact that the defense also seemed to forget how to tackle sure didn't help much either.

Then there was Rex.....

That was the Rex that couldn't show up in this game, but he did. He dropped two snaps, and threw two horrible interceptions. Rex basically did everything in his power to go out there and prove all of his doubters were 100% correct about him.

Yes, Rex is no doubt going to take the majority of the heat over this loss, which he should after the way he played. But this was the entire teams fault. (Ok, not Devin Hester. Thank God for Devin Hester.)

It was the defense's fault for being too conservative, not tackling, and just never getting the Colts offense off the field.

It's also the defensive line's fault. For the Bears conservative scheme in last night's game to work, the front four were going to have to put pressure on Peyton Manning. They couldn't do that. Manning had all day to find his receiver. The one time we got pressure on him early, he found Reggie Wayne wide open for a 53 yard touchdown pass. (Danieal Manning was too busy helping Urlacher and Briggs triple cover Dallas Clark for some reason.)

It was Ron Turner's fault for outdumbing himself. The key for the Bears offense to do well in this game was to not put it in Rex's hands, yet that's exactly what he did. From our very first snap on offense it should have been nothing but Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson.

From the start of the second quarter on, the Bears did absolutely nothing right, and they didn't deserve to win the game.

They got beat by the better team, and the much better quarterback.

So congratulations are in order for Peyton Manning, who I've always been a fan of, for finally getting his Super Bowl win that most of us thought he'd never get.

It would have been nicer if Manning could have gotten it next year, or done the John Elway thing, and wait until he's about to retire before doing it.

So, yeah.....when's Spring Training start again?
