Nice post I have to agree.

But Geaux Saints

When you look at the teams and the match of your defense and our offense against one another, this could be an epic battle. Drew Vs. Brain. Who knows this match up may go for years. We only can hope. Two of the top players in the NFL on opposing sides battling it out with the play calling. Sweet

This will be the 11th time since the merger that a conference's top-ranked offense (New Orleans) is facing the top-ranked defense (Chicago). In the first 10 such matchups, the top offense has defeated the top defense seven times. In two of those games, the top offense shut out the top defense (Cowboys over Rams in 1978; 49ers over Bears in 1984). http://www.superbowl.com/news/story/9937316

The real key is which team will win on the opposite side of the ball. Saints defense Vs. Bears offense.

Which Bears QB will show up???????? You guys are not even sure.

Can the Saints get a good enough pass? Can the Saints LBers control the run enough to keep the Bears under 175 yards rushing? Can the Saints secondary give up no more than 1 big play? I have to answer yes, IMO. While the D is not ranked in the top 10 they have faced all the so called hottest teams late in the season and done well enough to win.

By the way the saints defense is ranked 11th. Bears offense is 19th.

Advantage Saints

This should be like all the other playoff games this year and be a battle to the end. The weather is your best friend right now. Our is it? Can the kid from Florida throw in the cold well enough to win? Another untested tid bit. Drew will be fine remember he was a boilermaker and closton is a new yorker. There are more than a few cold weather players on the saints so maybe it wont be as big of an issue as we think.

Hester scares me I must admit. Man he was a steal.

What should scare the Bears is the fact the Saints were a better road team this year than a home team. By the way you have to admit the rest of the NFC North was lame this year also when you compair records.

We Saints Fans will not mention the snow ball event a few years back either. I loved the two years I lived in the windy city and miss roaming the gold coast in the summer. So I know that those were not true bears fans.

Best of luck and may you take the beating well.
