4-0

I'm happy for the Saints and all.  Hurricane Katrina, first season back, blah blah blah.  Too bad they're not getting a fairytale ending.  Mostly because of Hurricane Urlacher and Hurricane Briggs.

Not to mention Tropical Storms Hillenmeyer, Benson, and Jones.  As long as Tropical Depression Grossman doesn't make landfall, the bears have a good chance.

Tsunami Benson. 

He can flyyyyyy...

A friend of mine sent me the Bears fight song in Mp3 form this morning.  I'd never heard it before. Now your running tag makes Sooooo much more sense to me.  I wasn't getting the significance before.

Saints 31 - Bears 24

[VikingJuice]

I don't think it matters much what the Saints do or don't do, as much as what Rex Grossman does or doesn't do.  He is the pivot point for this whole football game.  If he plays to his capability, the Bears are the better team.  If he plays to his New Year's Eve capability, the Bears won't have enough to overcome his mistakes.

And please don't think that this is the Bears team from early in the season.  They are not.  They are missing Pro-bowlers Mike Brown at safety and Tommie Harris at defensive tackle.  That makes them go from stellar to vulnerable.

I predict Bears 31 Saints 20.

i'm hoping for a terrorist. if there's anything more annoying than a white sox fan, it's a bears fan.


I'M KIDDING.

We've won plenty of games where Rex wasn't doing his best.  That's the reason the Bears are such a good team - we don't rely on just one or two star players like most teams out right now.  If one player isn't having their best game, the rest tend to pick up the slack.

i am predicting 31-17 the aints.
would predict 24-2 the aints but it may anger alice.

I'd have agreed with you early in the season but the current defense isn't as strong as it was early on and the special teams have made a few mistakes of late with Devin Hester putting the ball on the ground a number of times in the last 3 games.  All I'm saying is that at this point, with special teams and defense weakened mostly by injury, that Rex can still wreck this team beyond repair.  You just gotta hope for the Dr. Jekyl and not Mr. Hyde.

[Alice]

Meh, I'm not too worried.  If we get the first score of the game, we've got the whole thing won.

[Alice]

I hope Cedric Benson scores the winning TD for the Bears.

[DownSouth]

I hope they do the Super Bowl shuffle.

Jim Mcmahon is too cool.

I remember when he used to do backflips.  He was cool... dammit.

That was such a great team.  They had such great personality.  So much better than most of what you get today.

I agree.  I don't think there will ever be another team like the '85 bears.

I watched them much of that season.  I was really impressed with them because they were a team that people actually feared.  FEARED!!  You could see it in Tony Eason's face on the first series of the football game.  He got hit hard on like the second or third play and he came back to the sidelines a few seconds later and his eyes were GIGANTIC.  The game was over from that moment.  He played like a 10 year old running from the milkmoney bully.

By the way, I can sing all the lyrics to the SB Shuffle along with the record.

I wish I still had Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for the Sega Genesis.

That was a good game and so was the Bill Walsh college football game.  It was the first video game where you could run the option play like in real college ball.

[VikingJuice]

It's official, the nation Bears down as the Bears' D rolls.  Congrats Chi-town and congrats Alice!!! 

PS.  I will be posting the Superbowl Shuffle on the dump soon.

That first half got a little scary.  I know you will all hate me because I'm a NE fan.  When I started watching football I lived in New England and never lost the love.  So suck it!

I hope NE eats a big nasty shit burger today!!!  Go Colts!!!

[Beefy]

It's Pats vs. Colts?

GO PATS

[Bennyhana]

I hope the colts win, too, mainly because Bill Bellichick scares me.  And also because my boss is a Pat's fan, and I don't need that tension between us.
