    He is a finalist for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job. But if the Bears win this Sunday, then the Steelers won't wait until Feb 5th to name a head coach and select him.

    Look for the Saints offense to inexplicably slice thru the Bears defense like butter this Sunday. Oh wait, we were gonna do that anyways. :rofl:

    Nobody can stop the Saint's. The Bear's D has been weak the second half of the season, and they haven't played the number 1 offense in the NFL yet.

    Deuce = 150 yds.
    Reg = 120 all purpose yds.
    Colston = 100 yds recieving
    Brees = throws for over 250
    Henderson = one long TD catch

    Saints beat the Bears 42-28

    I don't see it happenin' that way. Maybe because I've never been that big of a Saints fan. I always root for them and watch them when I can, but I don't follow up on them like I do with LSU. But beating a team like Chicago (probably) in the snow? They can pull it off, but I don't see them running away with it. I digress, I'm not much on professional sports, but I hope the Saints make it all the way!

    That must include this season also. Unless they have a compete meltdown I don't see them scoring less than 30. Saints of the past melt down, the new and improved Saints fight until the end.

    yup, case in point in the Phily game, Westbrook runs for 68 yards and the Eagles take a 21-13 lead. Saints take it down the field cool as a cucumber. There is never any sense of desperation with this team. Look back at the Green Bay game and how horribly that started with the 2 turnovers by Brees. Didn't matter, we came back strong.

    An idiot Bears fan who is in flight school with me informed me today that the Bears are going to kill the Saints because the Saints suck and haven't played anyone this season, while the Bears have had a ridiculously hard schedule.

    It gave me a good chuckle.

    And boy can we eat up some clock! 11 play drives going 8 minutes compared to Phillies desparate plays.

    unfortunately that game was much closer than it should have been....you could clearly tell who the better team was but give credit to Garcia...he's a gamer

    Saints need to do a better job of actually getting to the QB rather than just getting some pressure like they did against Philly....for some reason they don't seem to take a direct line to the QB but end up with glancing blows (especially our LBs).
