Well, they have a reasonable shot in the fact that they are one of the top 4 playoff seeds in the league. I'm not sold on Rex Grossman being this savior of the Bears offense. I know he's rusty but despite some decent plays, he hasn't looked like Joe Montana in comparison to what Kyle Orton did. Then again, Baltimore won it all being a tough defense, good rushing team and not much else... so you never know. I know a friend of a friend/aquaintance who is a hardcore Bears fan. Every year he puts down $100 on the Bears to win it all. This year he got 90-1 odds or something like that. I know he's pulling for them.

He's just marginally better than Orton (i.e., can complete a pass). Thomas Jones hasn't had a shabby year, either, though...yards wise, at least. Not too many touchdowns.

The streaks for New Englang Patriots going into this game is amazing,10 in a row playoff winning streak, an NFL record, 15-0 when BB see a QB for the 2nd time in a season after a loss in the first! That may all fall this weekend and it may not we will see.

I am an avid hater of the Broncos. That said, I loathe the Patriots even more so with little regret (even as a Raiders fan) I say, GO BRONCOS!!! ;D

I'm not much of a bar-hopper, myself; but I would say any place downtown is going to be swimming in orange tomorrow night. If you check somewhere near 16th Street mall or the Cherry Creek district, you'll be fine. I went to the local Try 'N Save this afternoon and 90% of the customers had some sort of Broncos gear on. It was great. Thanks to John Elway, the Avalanche winning the Cup right away after arriving, and Coors Field, this is a great sports town.

One more point for me!
Although my Bears-fan-ness would have preferred to face Washington. But if Alexander's still got his brain all cracked up, then that's still in our favor. (Cold? Yeah, but this is football...MEN STUFF!!! GRRR!!)

Well, the Pats have completely blown this game with the turnovers. Plummer didn't look bad at all. I wish the Broncos the best of luck, altho I think whoever won this game is going to be slapped around in Indy regardless.

Kudos to the Broncos. The better team won tonight. Although I believe the Pats got jobbed on that pass interference against Samuel (should have been a non-call as both made contact), it doesn't matter in the end. The Pats made more mistakes than the Broncos, and the Broncos capitalized. I stand by the Colts as the AFC team in the Super Bowl, however.
