We are a better football team. Fact. We are explosive on offence and our defence is playing superbly. We may not generate the turnovers they do but we get more pressure and we ship a lot less points.

Having said that, we are playing at their house. Like it or not, Drew is not the player on grass and away from home that he is AT home and on astro. Don't also rule out the inside slant that Aaron Kromer and Jermon Bushrod will be able to offer on the Saints as a whole.

I still think the Saints will win but it is incredibly close. Foolish to think otherwise.

Totally agree. This will be tough. They have owned us up there in the Payton era. I do think we win this one but its going to come down to the wire and its going to be all about turnovers. They are gonna we the field.

Agreed. The line is currently PK which has me itching.

The Bears have their weapons too. Forte is no slouch and Marshall can take over a game if his head is right and Cutler is accurate. One bad game against the Lions doesn't mean they suck. They are a worthy opponent.

Every time we've played in soldier field has it been winter/December? I know Drew may not play well in wind but as long as he doesn't throw pics. We can do it

Another win.. = More media attention. Get the bandwagon ready Alfred!

trap is believing your that good and the other team saying they are not as bad as their last game.

throw records out of the window the day after a game and suit up for the next.

one game at a time

My mantra so far this season & it will continue to be my mantra throughout the season.
