Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

Does anyone doubt that we could play in the cold weather?

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

I don't think that will be a factor. Remember the Steelers game? I know we lost, but it was close, and if I remember correctly, it was cold that day.

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

Yea, it was cold.. I was there at that one...

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

Nope. Brees is better outdoors, and the Bears had all kinds of trouble trying to stop Alexander...Deuce runs with more power than he does and Reggie is well...Reggie.

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

We do have a better road record than a home record. And you are right. Alexander doesnt run with that much power... I believe Duece and our O line will open a lot of holes

turnovers are teh only thing that concern me in chicago

I checked the weather, its gunna be cold, in the 30's, but not the wintry mix they had today, it should be sunny or partly cloudy, no snow or rain or anything like that Thursday thru Tuesday, so that shouldnt matter much. We just need to run the ball hard, smack them in the mouth, and go for the deep strike 3 times a half. and we will get 2 of them. My early prediction, 17-14 Saints baby, and then im flying my A$$ to Miami where its nice....

yeah i was going to post that to saintsfan. mostly sunny high in the mid 30's, low in the mid20's. since we will almost certainly get the early game it should be at its peak as far as temp. a bomby 30-34. if the cold doesn't get to us i think we win this game. their offense is not as good as the eagles and their d didn't look to great against a not so wonderful offense of the hawks

I'm not too worried about the cold. Just hope there is not a lot of wind.

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

Weather.com extended forecast has the high next Sunday at 34, low 26. The game is scheduled for 2pm CST so at least it`ll be the warmest part of the day.

Are you guys forgetting that cold windy game against the Giants? We'll be just fine in Chi-Town baby. GO SOUTH DIVISION CHAMPION SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

The colder the better. Get the field nice and hard, perfect running conditions just like running on faux turf!

RE: Playing in the Cold? Soldier Field
 

Rain or snow... we'll be ready to hunt. We're going to maul those Bears. I don't think I've ever been so confident in a Saints win in my life.

People are making it like the Saints are the only team that will have to play in the cold. The Bears have to play in it too.

What ever the weather conditions are, it will be the same on both ends of the field! As far as the cold, it should be around 32 degrees, great football weather, its just a state of mind. The only impact that could hurt the passing game is a lot of snow, again it would snow on both ends of the field.
My biggest fear was the Eagles and that is behind us. If deuce continues to carry the mail and Bush protects the pig skin, the Saints should win this one!

the wind chill is supposed to be 17 degrees...and it wasnt a "wintry mix" for the Seahawks game, there was no snow/rain at all. Actually I was quite warm at the game. The Bears have to play in it too, but we play in it all the time...

Here are the Bears game conditions for the last 10 games:

Nov5 - Miami - 54/Sunny/SW8 (loss)
Nov12- @NYG - 48/Night/NNE9 (win)
Nov19 - @NYJ - 47/OvCst/W5 (win)
Nov26 - @NE - 54/Cldy/WSW7 (loss)
Dec3 - Minn - 20/MCldy/W15 (win)
Dec11 - @StL - Indoors (win)
Dec18 - TB - 46/Clear/noW (win)
Dec25 - @DET - Indoors (win)
Jan1 - GB - 50/Night/SW10 (loss)
Jan14 - SEA - 32/Cldy/N8 (win)

Get the facts straight. The Bears have played TWO games in temperatures less than 45 degrees this season, which is only ONE more than the Saints. Both teams practice indoors. There is no conclusion that can be made from this data.

Denial (or ignorance) of reality leads to overconfidence, which leads to getting a deserved beatdown. Keep your Bushian beliefs, dabears, they will provide little warmth as they burn.

For the third time this season, the playing surface at Soldier Field has been resodded and sprayed with a vegetable dye to make it a deep shade of green.

How About That? New Orleans QB Drew Brees hasn’t played a game at under 40 degrees since 2004. Sunday’s preliminary Chicago forecast calls for game-time temperatures of 32 degrees. Brees grew up in toasty Texas. But, of course, he played his college ball at Purdue, in chilly Indiana.

And there's Ice and Snow in south Texas as I type. Could be an omen. ;)

25 degrees with a chance of snow, but the field is right on the lake so its always colder...so probably about 15 to 20 degrees...and its been snowing the past 2 days and doesnt show signs of letting up.

BEARDOWN EVERYONE

Time for the Bears to hibernate.
