NFC Championship: Saints at Bears(-2.5)

[Mike80]

Seriously, how many turnovers and screw-ups can you squeeze into one game?

Did anyone actually think that it would be mistakes by Drew Brees costing the Saints instead of errors by Rex Grossman costing the Bears?

Honest answer, no.

This has turned into a rout. A very sad end to the Saints season. Home field and disciplined football wins out.

watching the bears in the super bowl will be painful.

if it's the bears vs the patriots it will be extremely bad

Now it's just getting ugly.

Too bad Chris Farley and the gang aren't around to do another rendition of the SNL Bears Superfans.

New Orleans deserves a LOT of credit for this season though. 3-13 last year. New coach. New QB. Rookies starting all over the place. Great season in spite of it all.

This reminds me how impressive the Bucks win over scUM this year was. Turnovers kill.

So, is Drew Brees still taking his O-Line to Hawaii with him?

Quick quiz:

How many Saints turnovers have NOT lead to points for the Bears?

How many Saints mistakes have not lead to points for the home team?

Add those two numbers together. Is the result divisible by one?

Time to bring back the Superbowl Shuffle.

Interesting stat...

Grossman's net QB rating for the season was 73.9 Today was 73.2. Neither of those is spectacular, but it proves that the Bears are good enough to win with an average QB--just as long as he doesn't lose the game for them.

They have already started the "first african american to coach in the super bowl" talk. It drives me crazy. If we are ever going to get past color and see people as human beings, then we need to stop this kind of stuff.

The media will spend more time talking about Lovie's skin color than his accomplishments as a coach.

 

[milkman21]

I agree.

Congrats Chicago!
