Here is what the Bears Blog Blitz is writing about this week's game:

OK, the Colts took the Bears out (some say badly) in the Super Bowl three years back, and so that deserves banishment to the Bears' dungeon – forever. Not so fast.

The Colts are a finesse team, but Peyton Manning is not a finesse quarterback. He’s big and he’s bad and he gets pissed – but he keeps it under control and channels it toward the continued excellence of his cast. How come kids like Austin Collie or Pierre Garcon somehow magically become quality receivers, virtually overnight? Sure, Manning can thread a needle with an overgrown ostrich egg from about 70 yards, but his command of the game, determination and DEMAND that those around him perform to his level is what separates the Colts from the pack. Sound familiar, Chicago fans? A guy named Michael Jordan did a lot of that in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and Bears fans came to appreciate him pretty well.

Once Brian Urlacher went down in the first game of the season, there was nobody on the Bears' defense willing to step up in the same way. Dan Hampton would have done it years back, and Mike Singletary continues to do it from the sidelines, albeit in San Francisco. Accountability still means something in the Colts' backfield – as well as everywhere else – and while the Baltimore defense is to be envied, it’s the qualities that Manning represents that deserve recognition and emulation by Bears Nation (especially the current team).
