Saints @ Bears

[stratocatter]

Chicago weather forecast: Mostly cloudy with snow flurries and snow showers possible. Some sleet or freezing rain possible. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

The old dome team travels to play an outside cold weather game angle. I looked at ESPN and all their people are picking the Saints. I guess it helps them that the wind won't be real bad even if it's messy.

Bears could have fallen on that ball just now but tried to pick it up. I remember them saying that's what they were coached to do, I'll be damned if I'd tell my players that. Get the ball above all else.

Only Pep can pick it up and run and then only if he gets a good bounce.

If they're tied 0-0 at the end of regulation, can we just not have a NFC representative and count the night game as the Super Bowl?

There they go again, 1 for 2 now.

Bears D is coming to play some ball.
