Official Bears-Saints Game Thread

Hmmm......20 min. to game time and they just scanned the stadium and there appears to be lots of empty seats. Maybe they are all using the potty before the game starts. :P

Partying like crazy outside from what I've seen. If it's anything like when I was there, you could be right though. My Bear fan hosts and myself must have had at least 8 beers before the damn game even started. Can you imagine on NFC championship Sunday?

Nice intro by Aikman

Great catch by Henderson......

So much for my theory of it being cold enough and frozen and them getting some footing...

[Bretsky]

The game is young; hope the Saints get this going. Low scoring is what the Bears are probably hoping for

Field is REALLY slippery.......

Always fall on the ball you idiots!

Holy crap, how many people had a shot at that fumble? Five?

Yea, a safety can try and scoop it up but a DE should drop on the damn thing.......

At least football coaches at the college and high school level have some very obvious and notable examples from this year's NFL playoffs to hammer home the point "when the ball is lose and live, fall on it." The Chargers likely lost as a failure to learn that lesson, let's see how much it costs the Bears.

Where is the snow? We just got about 4-5 inches about an hour north of Soldier Field.

yea, that makes perfect sense...running it in is great if you can but a turnover swings momentum.

We got a similar amount a couple of hours west of Soldier field, so I'm also puzzled. Maybe it's coming later.

This game is going very bad for the bears. Not scoring on the fumble is likely gonna come back and bite them in the ass. Wrex needs those plays to happen today.

Nice catch by Bush....
