Yeah, I know it took me a few weeks to write this. What did you expect me to do? Hop online as soon as the game was over?  I had to wait until I was prepared to write this. I didn’t want this post to be hallow. So here are my thoughts:

Rex didn’t lose the game for us. At the time of the INT for TD, we were running the ball effectivley. There was no reason to start passing. I blame the coaching on this one.

The Bears D did not blitz Peyton Manning nearly enough. Just like Cincinnati did, they dropped back and let Manning pick them apart. I blame the coaching.

Devon Hester is amazing.

As talented as Cedric Benson is, I’m going to miss Thomas Jones next year, if, as expected, the Bears trade him.

The Bears better franchise Lance Briggs.

In the playoffs, I went 5-2 with my picks and 4-3 against the spread. It may not be spectacular, but it’s a winning record.

Peyton Manning, you’re a great QB, congrats, you earned it, yada yada yada. I dare you to make it to the Super Bowl again next year so we can beat you down.

That’s it. I don’t want to spend any more time dwelling in the past. We had a terrific year. Thirty teams don’t make it to the Super Bowl. We did, and came up a little short.

My attention will now shift back to baseball, where the Cubs are undefeated. Cubs in ‘07!
