New Orleans at Chicago

[maveric]

As much as I like the Saints, I feel that Da Bears will win this game easily.

My prediction: Chicago 24 - New Orleans 10

[maxsolomon]

1. screw chicago

NO needs it more.

Love, Seattle

[AngryAmish]

8. hater

[maxsolomon]

23. sore loser, actually

we wuz robbed!

(actually the 'hawks played fairly well for a team with no secondary, a running back with a broken foot, and a quarterback with a broken hand!)

[AngryAmish]

12. And what good will a NO victory be to the residents?

Will anyone get their grandma back?

Will anyone get to move home?

Will anyone leave a crappy government trailer?

No, no and no. This is a football game. The NO residents may be entertained for an afternoon but in the big picture it means nothing.

[TheMightyFavog]

13. It would be much more than just a football game.

A Super Bowl win would give New Orleans, a City that hasn't had a lot to smile about a reason to smile again.

[jus_the_facts]

14. It means some extra REVENUE for the state....

...we need all the POSITIVE attention we can get to hopefully get some tourism revenues back down here. :think:

[AngryAmish]

18. Sunday's game is in Chicago

The Super Bowl is in Miami. The team (owned by rich folks) may get some incrimental revenue, but for the people of NO - they get nothing.

[mentalsolstice]

19. How about something to be proud about

And for revenue, yes it could bring some money into NOLA. Tourists will be more likely to Saints souvenirs if they were champions...take it from one who has lived in a SB champion's town.

[jus_the_facts]

21. Thank You!

[maxsolomon]

27. this whole thread is about a football game

if it makes a poor NO family have joy & hometown pride for 3 hours in their POS gov't. trailer out in some LA swamp, will you relax?

[AngryAmish]

30. No, because their happiness is predicated on my unhappiness

I do not like to be unhappy.

[flamingyouth]

25. LOL

You're so subtle. :D

[Giant Robot]

2. I think I want the Da Bears to win, but....

I think NO is going to win. Da Bears I don't think are as good as their hype and their offensive line is erratic at best. NO has consistency throughout their offense and defense.

[AngryAmish]

10. The line is Bears giving 2 1/2 right now

The line will change (by Sunday it will be Bears 3 1/2 to 4 - just because there will be more Bear money and the lines will change accordingly).

Anyway, I am biased but I like the Bears. The Bears can run the ball, too. They are at home.

But mostly, the Bears have 3 fewer losses right now. The are no longer dominating on defense but they can score. Also, on offense the Saints rely on their speed. There is not a faster team in football than the Bears and you cannot run outside on them. Ask Ron Mexico how much he likes playing against the Bears.

[Auggie]

3. I want a weather report first. But I lean towards New Orleans. They can

run the ball.

[Beer Snob-50]

4. Da Bears

and then a rematch with the Patriots. this time no tony eason to crumble under the pressure of the bears rush.

[maveric]

6. They shoulda started Grogan!

Eason sucked from day #1!

[Beer Snob-50]

7. He got a couple of shots at the start of his career

and he went down at the slightest pass rush by the opposition.

[mvd]

5. Hard one to call

Unless Chicago's defense returns to form a little, I see the Saints winning. It might look like the Eagles game.

I'm still sad over that Eagles loss, even though it was a good season considering. Guess it was how it happened. There were a couple of bad calls by the refs and more mistakes in the playoffs from Reid (who I'm still not sold on yet,) but when the defense gives up more than 200 yards rushing, you aren't going to be in a good position. It all went downhill after the Saints scored right after Westbrook's TD.

Next year, the Eagles must beef up the defensive line, linebacker, and fullback spots. And resign Garcia or another capable backup.

[The Sushi Bandit]

9. NO 23 Chi 13

[evlbstrd]

11. Saints.

They've been my sentimental pick all season.

[lies and propaganda]

15. Brees has some weaponry though...

and he can play in the cold. Plus i think Sexy Rexy is a joke.. or maybe i just cant take his eyebrows seriously.

Either way, Hometown team!

Geaux Saints! 35-17

[Broken_Hero]

16. New Orleans, I just think

Grossman will hurt the Bears a TON....

[Catshrink]

17. Oh when the Saints come marching in

to Chicago.... my Bears are gonna kick their butts! This is why:

[XNASA]

20. Whoever wins, one thing is certain.

The NFC Champs will have fantastic uniforms. Two of the best lookin' unis out there, the classic Bears look and the very stylish, dare I say elegant, look of the Saints.

Am I right people?

[jus_the_facts]

22. Yessiree....always liked the black and gold with the fleur de lis....

....I DARE say!! :D :hi:

:bounce:

[flamingyouth]

24. I think the Saints will win

The Bears barely beat Seattle this past week. The Saints definitely have a chance to win this.

[terrya]

29. I agree.

And while I'm a Chicagoan, I wouldn't be all THAT upset if the New Orleans Saints won.

[genie_weenie]

26. Saints win because this friggin' game will be fixed!

Oooohh! The Saints are a team of destiny and all that crap. The NFL realizes it can get more money if they hype up a SB matchup of PRodigal Son Manning versus the New Orleans Saints America's Team of Destiny. So to make this more exciting Manning has to beat the Big Bad Guys of the NFL (currently the NE Patriots) and take the next step, but he will be unable to pull off the defeat of the *god* blessed Saints. And Manning will be unhappy but say "If I couldn't win, I'm glad my Dad's team was the winner..."

The NFL pulled this same stunt when the Raiders (read: Terrorists) played the Patriots in 2001. Do you really think America was going to have the Patriots lose?

The NFL is fixed.

[RetroLounge]

28. Bears 27, 'Aints 13

:hi:

[JoDog]

31. Da Bears Need to wake up

I love my Bears, but unless they can hobble the Saints' passing game, they're toast. Out of loyalty, I'm predicting Bears 17, Saints 14.

[GalleryGod]

32. What's that Eubonics all you youngin's use?

MEH !
