The game couldn't have started any better for the Chicago Bears.

They never took advantage of that start. I question the coaching decisions on both the offense and the defense. Defensively they played too much coverage and Peyton Manning was patient and never panicked. Offensively they never established a run game.

Rex Grossman the second half of the season and the Bears relied too much on him to move the ball. Everybody wondered how the Bears would stop Indy's passing game, but it was their inability to stop the run that cost them the game.

The Colts stuck to their plan even after a terrible start to the game. Gave up a TD on the opening kickoff and early turnovers didn't rattle Indianapolis.

The Colts controlled time of possession because they won the battle in the trenches.

Everything was there for the Bears to win this game, but the Colts wouldn't let them have it.

Are they going to give it to Peyton? I think Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai were the difference in the game.

Desmond Clark has been bobbling catches all day. That was a nice hit, but he has to make that catch.

I wonder if Ron Turner has lost faith in Rex's decsion making and wont let him throw the ball deep anymore.

Payton has done a great job throwing a wet ball. But the biggest thing has been the success of the colts running game. The Bears offense has never established any rhythm.
