The Final Four

Is it just me or do you like this years finalists. The Bears who are a wild team to watch are surprisingly my least favourite team left. NO has the feel-good story appeal. New England has Brady dying for his name to be mentioned with 'dynasty' and Peyton will go down as one of the best, he just needs a ring. What do you guys think?

Bears are wild to watch just because it's entertaining to see if their defense and special teams can overcome their opponent and their offense. The final four this year are all pretty blah. I'm going for New Orleans just because they're probably the most entertaining team left. I had dreaded another Colt-Pats matchup. There's an article on ESPN now about how people should be rooting for the underdog Pats. I'm not going to root for a team that gets a free pass into the playoffs every year because they play in a division with NYJ, Miami and Buffalo. There were some teams that haven't seen the playoffs in a while but most of the are gone now. New Orleans was 3-13 last year, I think that's a lot more inspiring than Brady doing it all again with no supporting cast.

Haha Bears defense has to overcome their offense. So true. Can you imagine if they had a consistent threat as quarterback?

By the time I am answering this the Super Bowl teams are already established, the Bears and the Colts. Two sundays from now we well see history in the making, the first time ever an african american head coach takes their team to the Super Bowl, but no just that both teams are lead by African American coaches. The Colts and their long time veteran coach Tony Dungy, and the Bears underpaid Lovie Smith. Aside from the historical and NFL changin point, this is a game which will consist of one of the most explosive offensives against (Colts) one of the rudest defenses around(Bears). On the contrary during the regular season the Colts had the worst defense and the Bears had the worst QB. How both teams made it through the regimes of San Diego, New England, Baltimore, and the bright futured Saints is beyond me but it is what it is. So get ready for what can be either a high scoring game, or a no scoring game... Colts vs. Bears Super Bowl XLI

I think they are okay. To be honest I am sick of seeing New England in the playoofs. I guess I only want to see my favorite team win year after year after year.. I don't care for the Bears and I think they are not as good as thier record indicates. I like New Orleans because they are not your usual powerhouse. It is great to see a new team step up. Manning kind of drives me nuts because of how spastic he is, but I can't deny that he is a great quarterback and I would hate for him to go in the history books next to Marino as one fo the greatest to never win a Superbowl. Truthfully I would like to see Indy vs NO in the Superbowl. I am not sure who I would want to win or who I would route for, but I think it would be a good game.

I'm pretty sure that "New England Patriots" and "Tom Brady" are already words spoken in the same sentences with "dynasty". The Colts are likely more hurting to win than the others. As for a feel good story, I think you are over looking the Saints. They had a terrible record last year following playing all road games due to the loss of their stadium to the hurricane and the mess that followed. They got a new coach who restructured the entire team. Right now, they look to be one of the stronger contenders out of these remaining 4. I'd like to see a Saints vs. Pats Superbowl. I can't stand the Colts. Manning can't play under pressure. His stats during the playoffs are garbage. Even though they have one these two playoff games so far, he is 1TD to 5INTs so far. It's almost like he turned into Rex. But then again if you look at his past playoff losses you would see more terrible stats.
