I watched the first three quarters, and did not see one.

Between the 3rd and 4th though, there was a Toshiba HDDVD Commercial. It stinks though.

Honestly, I have seen this commercial a bunch of times before on my cable HD channels. Dude hanging from a helicopter holding a chick, and they end up falling onto a couch? That one. For the longest time I thought it was a commercial for HiDef in general, but only last night did I realize for the first time that it was actually for the Toshiba players.

The best part though? The commercial was aired in SD. During the SUPERBOWL, when SO many commercials were aired in HiDef, they air the HDDVD player commercial in SD? So dumb.

How fitting. They can't even afford a new commercial, done in high def no less.


HD-DVD is a stopgap of today's technology and shortsighted thinking. Blu-Ray is long term thinking and involves future/cutting edge technology.

Actually it's a prop and a smokescreen being held up by Microsoft to deliberately keep the market split up, but I digress.

HD-DVD is one of the biggest scams to ever hit the world of consumer electronics.

Blu-Ray is long term thinking and involves future/cutting edge technology.

When the game lost any sembelance of competitiveness, I admit I just wasn't paying that much attention to any of it.

I really hope the BDA took advantage of this obvious oppurtunity, at least in terms of software sales like: "Comes out Tuesday on DVD and Blu-Ray!"

You should be royally angry today as a Bears fan.

Look back over this thread.

I think we all saw what we expected. I know I certainly saw exactly what I expected and predicted.

Even the Chicago home press was not overly optimistic about the Bears' chances in this game. Everyone knew Grossman was going to be THE weak link for the Bears and probably cost them the game outright.

They were right.


The Bears needed great play out special teams and they got in Hester. They needed Hester to do something special and he did. I'm sorry Hester was confined to special teams. They should have tried him in some offensive plays or some misdirection/trick plays of some sort. Why not? He's your best weapon by far on the team.


Defense? They played well but they were simply on the field for way too long. In the first half or so, they were clearly the more physical team but they just kept going back out there and got worn down.


Why?

Bears offense: They have a nicerunning game but when the Colts defense knows you can't pass for crap, they can put 8 guys in the box on a bunch of plays and not really worry about it.

That's what happened. Turnovers by Grossman ice it.

The Colts defense stepped up in the last part of the season, but let's face it: They were given a lot of easy gifts.


A Bears fan today should feel the same way Ohio State fans felt at the beginning of the month. Angry and seeing a wasted oppurtunity.

In fact, this is almost worse because the Bears could have had a chance if someone simply made a QB change before allowing Grossman to completely crap the game away for his team.

OSU's team never showed up at all.

The Bears actually did show up and I think the game could have even been better if you had a real quarterback.

Grossman lost the game for the Bears. It's as simple as that. How many more INTs was Grossman going to be allowed to throw before they made a change?

In the biggest game of the year, it should be balls to the wall and empting out the entire closet of trickets.

Why in the world Lovie Smith didn't make a QB change in this game is beyond me. What do you have to lose?

He's a good coach and the Bears are a pretty good team, but at the rate things were going? Why NOT make a QB change? How could it have been any worse?

I was waiting for Grossman to rip of his jersey and I'd see Colts colors because he was doing plenty to help them out.

The weather made bad lucks and fumbles for everyone, so that washed out pretty evenly.

Anyways, Peyton Manning got his Super Bowl ring and cements himself as the best QB playing the game today.

Grossman is probably the worst QB to ever play in a SuperBowl. He made Trent Dilfer look like Dan Marino.

At least Trent Dilfer knew his role on the team and didn't make mistakes, unlike Grossman.

I was looking for it, but honestly: The commercials were so lame and terrible this year that I honestly wasn't paying that much attention.



Footnote: This is why I love college sports and football WAY more than pros.

If last night's game had been a college football game in a major bowl, you know you would have seen all kinds of madness and trick plays and excitement from the Bears to try and stay in this thing and win. And who knows? Maybe they would have.

Think Boise St vs. Oklahoma. That bowl game was the best football game I'd seen in years anywhere of any kind. That's the kind of game that MAKES people like football.

But in the pros? What do they care if they win the game? The Bears players, like the rest of them, know they're still getting their paychecks no matter what anyways.

Truer statements cannot be made, I'm afraid! It was like watching keystone cops! Poor Grossman's face at the end, he looked like an HD DVD fanbois who just heard the latest videoscan numbers!
