I don't know why, I just like the Saints. Maybe it's because I don't like Grossman but I just have this feeling about the Saints right now.

Another Bear fan in SC? Amazing ... too bad your college choice wasn't as good! jk!

*hugs* to you too Buzzman. I shall never waiver from my Tigers... my blood runneth orange. I have a Clemson Flag and a Chicago Bears flag hanging from my house.

[BUZZMAN2333]

I actually root for Clemson when they don't play the Gamecocks ...
(and if I stay off the message boardS!)

You guys are doing great in Basketball this year!

I am glad to see another Bear supporter out here ... Everyone wants to jump on the Saints bandwagon!

I am looking for a rematch of the 85 game ... and hopefully the same results!!!

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

This is going to be another classic NFC championship game. I can't wait.

Time for kickoff! I don't have a strong favorite in this game so I'm just pulling for a spectacular football game. Looking forward to seeing who Peyton will play against in Miami

Yep, we'll have a good chat later

Before the BEars stopped the drive, I was about to ask... what would it take for the Saints to take the crowd out of the game? Not just silence them for a bit, I mean REALLY, REALLY take the crowd out of the game?

Maybe a quick 14 pt lead?

Or is there no freaking way that the Chicago fans get that down on their team in this game, even if they're down by a bunch?

[EmpireWF]

Looks like this will be a back and forth day.

[rmjvol]

Well, I had been thinking that the Chicago defense wasn't going to look good today. So far, I'm wrong. They gave up that 1 big pass on the opening drive but they've been pretty solid since then.

Saints got lucky that fumble wasn't scooped up by da Bears.

[rmjvol]

But they don't get lucky twice! Short field for Grossman after the Saints fumble.

[rmjvol]

Bears defense is killing the Saints... but it's only 6-0.

Is the Saints defense that good or does the Bears offense really suck?

[rmjvol]

Bears FINALLY get a TD but the Saints answer. Looks like it'll be anybody's game in the 2nd half.
