Well, it is official. The Colts made it back to the big game. Looking at these two teams this has all the hallmarks of being a great game. I have the feeling that it is going to be one heck of a shootout. The Colts defense has been overlooked all season. I think that shutting down the Jets running game proved that they are the real deal. We have all know what they are capable of on the offensive side of the ball now the defense it getting their long overdue credit.

While I have been invited to a couple of Super Bowl parties I will not be attending as I don’t talk to anyone while watching the game and I pace around the room a good deal. Besides I don’t want to be interrupted while I am yelling at the TV.

Goodbye Ron Turner ***Update 1-25-10***

I do believe that it is time that the Chicago Bears realize that Ron Turner is not qualified to be an offensive coordinator in the NFL.
Maybe he can find a volunteer position with a local Pop Warner team. I think that both the players and especially the fans have
seen that Ron Tuner is completely predictable and not very complementary to the talents of the players around him. Is it irony
that players have left the Bears and gone to other teams and been productive. I can only really speak of Cedric Benson who
was put in the position of playing the style of running back that was not his strong suite. So, people called him a bust. Yes, there
were off the field issues. That issue aside it is pretty telling to me that he can move onto a Cincinnati Bengals team only become
when of the top running backs in the NFL. Could it be that the Bengals game plan to Benson’s strengths? That would only be
logical now wouldn’t it.

***Update***

Yes, it has happened. He is gone. In fact, I do believe that only Lovie remains.

Benson reminds the Bears what they are missing

CINCINNATI, OH - SEPTEMBER 27: Cedric Benson #...

I know that it is a little outdated but it was very nice to see Cedric Benson run all over the Chicago Bears. I understand that the Bears had some starters out. That does not take away from the crappy way that the Bears and the Chicago media treated him. Yes, he got himself into some trouble. No doubt about that. But the numbers he put up were exactly why is was a first round draft pick. As I have told all my friends and family that claim that he was a bust. Ron Turner did not use him the correct way and the offensive line did not do a good job opening up running lanes for him. Just take a look a Matt Forte’s numbers. In fact, I have heard from numerous sources that this Bears offensive line is just horrible and could be their downfall down the stretch.
