I do understand that the Bears lost yesterday. But with all the talk afterwards I can't help but defend my team. Yes, at the time I thought Cutler should've been playing. That was until I learned today that he may have torn his MCL. That's kind of a big deal. With that information I now see that it was not a mistake to sit Cutler. The mistake came when the Bears penciled in Todd Collins' name as the second string QB on the depth chart. The name in that slot should have been Caleb Hanie. Hanie has more talent in his little pinky then Collins has in his whole body. Finally, it makes me angry that other NFL players were criticizing Cutler on Twitter. Note to those "professionals", it's very easy to criticize when you are sitting at home, Cutler led his team further than any of you have ever made it. Maybe instead of questioning his toughness you should consider what you did wrong to not make this far.
Back to the actual Bears. I am very happy they made it this far. If you would've told me in the preseason that the Bears would be hosting the NFC Championship game I would've said you're out of your damn mind. I'm very happy with the progress this team made this year. They will only get better from here. Add a couple guys here and there and they will be solid for years to come. I know I should be mad that my team is done for the year, but I'm not. I can't help but be happy with what the Bears accomplished this season. It was a great time, they made it very fun to be a fan.
Now we wait, two whole weeks until the next meaningful NFL game. Sure I'll watch the Pro Bowl but that game means nothing. We have two weeks to build all the hype for what should be a very exciting game to watch. I will make my prediction right now before all the hype and meaningless stats cloud everyone's minds. To me this is an easy choice. I'm taking the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have been there before and they know how to win it. Also, it is their time once again. They won Super Bowl XL, Super Bowl XLIII, now they will win Super Bowl XLV. They are the San Antonio Spurs of the NFL without being boring. Final score: Steelers - 28 Packers - 24.
That's all for me today, feel free to leave comments. I want to hear what other people might have to say about Cutler or the Super Bowl. Thanks for reading. Goodbye.
