SuperBowl '07 Thread

[Quack!]

I must say, Paniro, that was a great defense of your quarterback. As much as I'd like to think my question was fair, I was just being a smartass, and that was inappropriate of me.

When I meant that Manning plays injured, I meant specifically that he played with a broken jaw, which I just happen to think is bad-ass. I've never thought that Grossman is the worst QB of all time, I've just never liked him, and while now I don't think as little of him as I did this morning (like I said, you do good work), I'm still pulling for Manning. The guy's just a savage, and I think it's high time he got his. Either way, I'm expecting a great game. Like Raf says, it's an all-around great match-up, and with so much up in the air it can only make for an exciting game. Unless, of course, everyone decides to suck and the refs decide that they wanna play, too, like last year. We'll see.

Finally, I just wanna get this out into the air right now. Dallas Clark has 281 receiving yards on 17 receptions in the post-season, 5 of which went for 20+ yards. Come Sunday, you'd better watch 44, man! I've been a Clark fan ever since I saw him run into his teammate (one of them must of screwed up their route or something), fall down, get up, and make a catch. That and the name D. Clark makes me happy about being a Niner's fan (you need something to hang onto in the middle of a playoff drought ).

why thanks for the kind words. I didn't think you were being a smartass at all, hopefully you didn't think i was, lol. Its just that IMO rex has been unfairly dogged. I mean can you remember a time that a young QB, first full year as a starter, got this much criticism, especially while winning? Add that with the pressures of being the QB of a team that is superbowl calibur in every spot except for the QB. Add to that coming off 2 season ending injuries. Man, that guy should be gettin a lot more credit, or at least cuz a little more slack. I'm glad that you seem to maybe have a slight different take on rex now. And if you just don't like a guy, you just don't like em, we all have players like that.

lol @ the badass comment about peyton. He's tough, and hopefully you or nobody feels i'm tryin to take anything away from Peyton. I like him a lot, think he's the #1 QB in the league, and would be pulling for him if they weren't facing my favorite team. I actually took on the colts as a 2nd fav. team if you will, when jim harbaugh left us and went to the colts. I only don't follow teh colts now because they're popular and there are a lot of bandwagon people.

yep, it will be somethin the bears must watch. Good thing is we have the most althletic LB in the league. Just got done watchin highschool highlights of his when he was a WR and FS, amazing i must say. He can cover well downfield. You may recall a play in the seattle playoff game where he ran stride for stride straight down field with darell jackson (their #1 WR) and stayed with him and made an incredible play on the ball to break it up. I have confidence he can stay with clark. In fact, this is all i could find, but in a preseason game 2 years ago, bears vs colts, they tried sending clark up the middle on a deep fly, heres the results......


3-19-IND48 (10:23) P.Manning pass incomplete to D.Clark.
PENALTY on CHI-B.Urlacher, Personal Foul, 15 yards, enforced at IND 48 - No Play. IND - Clark (44) injured on play.

Basically Urlacher took his head off as he caught the ball, forced him to drop it. He was flagged cuz he hit him in the head. The video is much worse, couldn't find a link.
