Super Thoughts

The big game finally arrives Sunday.
The Sports Wookie officially announces he will be pulling for the Colts in this one because Grossman is a gross man. (See the pick below.)
And for Dr. Jones. Indy! Cover Your Heart!

Sadly the only player in the game with ties to the Rebel Alliance is backup offensive guard Terrence "Fancy Feet" Metcalf. Wouldn't mind seeing him get a ring and its certainly possible.

I personally think the line on the game is a little high and think it should be a pretty good game. This Bears team actually matches up really well with the Colts. Of course I said the same thing about the Ravens and it didn't seem to matter. The have a solid running game behind two good running backs and a solid offensive line and a very good defense albeit a defense missing one of its biggest cogs in Tommie Harris.

But as every analyst has beat into the ground, the Colts have difficulty stopping the run. Da' Bears weakness is the horrible play from the aforementioned quarterback Rex Grossman. However if the Bears can control the game by running the ball and keep Rexy out of obvious passing situations they can easily neutralize this. If the game stays close it actually plays in the Bears hands more since it keeps Rex from having to go into obvious passing series where Dwight Freeny and his boys can just all out blitz after Rexy. That's when he has his biggest problems is when D-linemen start hitting him around a little bit. He gets nervous and starts throw the ball to quickly before receivers have a chance to make their cuts or too early on timing patterns. However if the Colts get up early then the Bears have to have him make big plays to keep them in the game. Not just pull a Trent Dilfer and not loose the game. If the Bears get the running game going than it won't matter if Rexy's just daydreaming about the post game party.

So the biggest matchup in the game will be the IndyD-Line versus the Bear's O-Line. Whoever wins that match up should win the game. I imagine the Bears faithful really wish that Tommie Harris was available.

So the Pick? You'll have to wait for the Weekly Theme music to come out.
