The outpouring of excitement on here over the Bears’ victory in the NFC Championship on this message board is just too much to take in. I’ll just assume that all the Chicago Dopers are still out celebrating our victory in person instead of on the board. I can’t think of much else that would explain the absence of a celebratory thread on here yet. You’d think that a message board based on a periodical from Chicago would have a thread by now about the Bears heading to the Super Bowl for the first time in 21 years.
I will now do the Super Fan dance, as originally performed by Chris Farley in a hula skirt and coconut bra.
DAAAAAAA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE DA BAIRSE! :: chokes on a Polish sassij ::
Looks like New England is on track this evening to emerge victorious against Indianapolis. See you in Miami in two weeks, Patriots! Bring it on, baby. Bears FTW.
This really goes to prove I should shut my mouth when it comes to halftime predictions. What a comeback for Indianapolis! I thought for sure the Colts were dunfer.
What a fantastic game at Soldier field today though. The snowfall made it way more dramatic than the game in Indiana. There’s just something about a second half snowfall that seems to infuse the Bears with some kinda magic. This was a great day in Chicago. My local bar was in high spirits the likes of which I can scarcely recall.
I think Peyton went a long way to throwing off the mantle of the guy who chokes in the clutch, but I think the final word on that will be written in a few weeks.
Then again, the AFC Championship Game WAS the Super Bowl, essentially. The Super Bowl is nothing more than a formality for the AFC representative.
I’m glad we won. Even though I’d have preferred a nice clean tidy win, I’ll take it whatever way it comes.
I don’t wanna play the Colts, though. They played a helluva game on the ground today, and the idea of Grossman vs. Manning in an on-the-ground game makes my tummy hurt a little right now.
No kidding. That was a hell of a comeback and it’s gonna make for a very dramatic game in two weeks. It’s also certain to be the big water cooler subject up until then. I think I’ll need to make sure a defibrilator is on hand for our Super Bowl party for my friends whose mental and emotional health hinges on the outcome of the Super Bowl … yeah, they’re nuts, but in the funniest way. Let’s just say that old SNL ‘Super Fans’ sketch from back in the day was more of a documentary than a playful stereotype.
I think that was a fun game, with the comeback and all. I don’t have a dog in this hunt, but I was pulling for the Colts to come back 'cause my Dad had a bet on it. He was giving 3-1/2, so the touchdown was exactly what he needed.
I also was pulling for the Saints, just 'cause of the hype. Well, should be a good Superbowl!
OMG. talk about being between a rock and a hard place…
not only did i grow up a pats fan as a child, i also lived in chicago for five years where i became a permanent cubs/bears fan, and i now live in indianapolis.
holy cannoli, batman, the place came apart at the seams last night. we don’t get much excitement here in the mid of west.
that said, what the hell am i going to about the superbowl??? da bears AND the colts??? god help me… :eek:
