We had very high hopes the Bears would win!! We live in Chicago, but were in FL the week before and weekend of the Super Bowl. We were in Magic Kingdom the Wednesday before the game. DH wore his Bears' NFC Championship shirt to the park. Everywhere we went everyone was calling out, "GO BEARS!!" It was really cool.
I was very encouraged with that first play. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. I think they made a huge mistake by keeping Grossman in. Of cpourse I still think it was crappy how the Bears treated Orton. Orton led them to a really good season last year and as soon as Grossman was healthy, they stuck Orton on 3rd string.

What a waste.
This is what we saw as we were coming back from our trip. Just a bit bittersweet:
An Urlacher jersey on the dinosaur outside the Field Museum:
And, of course, the lions in front of the Art Museum:
I still love the Bears. There is always next year. Now, we need to get ready for the Cubbies!!

DH says, again, it will be a Sox (CWS)/Cubs series this year!!
