Indy's scheme prevented that from happened, Bears didn't want to get beat long, and they are paying for it today. Fact is they were damned either way, if they pull a safety up they get smoked long becuase WR's have the advantage in the rain (especially with Peyton Manning)...Our linebackers didn't play well, whatsoever. Peyton 11 yarded us to death, which if that was the plan, it was pretty smart, it was almost like they were trying to keep our offense off the field and just tire out the D....

And i understand that, but a good defense gets off the field period. No excuses. Its why i was never sold on the bears D. Its easy against some weak teams in the nfc. Thats why indy is so good. No one stretches the field like they do. I think chicago had a decent defense but not a good one. They got the exact weather conditions they wanted. It was rainy and sloppy. If it would have been sunny and beautiful and a track meet, the bears would have been run off the field. The fact is they couldn't stop the run and if you can't stop the run a great deal many other things will work.

Disagree, this team did not want wet and sloppy. Cold and sloppy is alot different then wet and sloppy. Wet is a pain in the ass, cold is a nuisance.

I am not going to blame the weather because both teams played in it, but offensively, the Bears would have produced infinity better if it were dry, thus changing the whole game.

Bears D played extremely well considering the cirumstances. I'm with Scav on this one... they were on the field all freaking night. Hardly an easy night for them.

Congrats to the Colts on their win, though.
