Hero - Mark Ingram, has his breakout day.
Goat - Harper, won't have a bad game, but if he gives up 1 completion all game he'll be blasted.

Oh thats right. I forgot.

He's got a bum ankle and might not play. I haven't heard anything about it today. Anyway, even if he doesn't play he'll be blamed for something I'm sure.

The whole key to this game is Urlacher. He's the main reason the blueprint to beating a cover-2 doesn't work well against Chicago. We need to get up early and keep them guessing.

Yeah Urlacher might be full of emotion today...he could have a monster day or be overcome with the death of his mom...i feel bad for him...but i think he gets lit up..If we can get our running game going it will be a long day for that Tampa 2...Im worried about Nicks..friday he was sick with some illness..hope he can play and play well..very crucial to our run game...i think Kruetz will be a bit emotional as well...but he should be ok being the old vet he is..gonna be a battle..but we come out on top

28 to 17 Saints

I hope you're right, but I have a bad feeling that Brees will be running for his life all game. The team dedicated this game to his Mom and usually that translates to everyone playing with high intensity for all 60 minutes.

This game went from our 4th toughest to 2nd toughest on our schedule.

Thats why im hoping we can get the running game going..and Meg Ryan did have some success with the playaction..Turner also had over a 100 yards and them...we will see how it all plays out..We have to punch it in on goal line situations. No FGs

I think Urlacher may be emotionally drained. I know I would be. I don't think he'll be totally focused, but we'll see. I don't think it's bad for us that they dedicated this game to his mom either. They just put more pressure on themselves when they didn't have to.

Saints 38
Bears 24
