NFC Championship: Saints vs Bears

Mike · January 18th, 2007, 02:33 PM

Okay so this is the first time that the Saints have been in the NFC Championship this weekend, but after watching the Bears play against the Seahawks, I am going with the Saints

To me
Brees will make the difference and so will Bush and Duece

Wheather will not have an outcome

Saints 21 Bears 10

I like the Saints because;

Brees and their running backs.

Grossman is the Bears QB.

My nephews root for them.

I take the Saints here too. The Bears losses on D really took a serious toll.

You're really going out on a limb thinking that Brees, Bush, and Deuce will be the major factors, lol.

If the Bears want to win, obviously their D has to step back up, but they really need to be able to run the ball and run it well. The Saints secondary can be beat.

I dont think that it will come down to the Saints secondary, I mean they have been beaten sometimes this year and really have a bunch of no names out there

I'm picking the Bears here, but i'm certainly not over confident with that pick. I think Rex will actually have another good game and they will win in a very close game. I think their D will be good enough to limit the Saints. Not enough playoff experience for me with the Saints.

Mike · January 18th, 2007, 02:49 PM

I dont think that the Saints not having enough playoff experience will make that big a difference. Look at the Bears! How many playoff games has Rex played in, hmmmmmm....

Well not a good point!

BtownBeers · January 18th, 2007, 02:52 PM

Two factors lead me to the Saints that relate to each other. The Bears run D has become very beatable and the Saints have a great rushing attack that shows power from Deuce and Speed from Bush, I also include their good screen game as part of their rushing attack. However I think the Bears fast LB's will match up well with Bush so a power running game should be their priority and mix Bush in as a change of pace.

If the Bears can run the ball effectivley and often that will open things up for Rex in the vertical pass game, which he can manage effectivley when he is on, that is when the saints somewhat soft secondary comes into play. The Bears receivers have a lot of speed.

BaldBil · January 18th, 2007, 02:52 PM

I like the Saints offense to take the game to the Bears. A good game by Brees & the backfield will keep the Saints suspect secondary off the field long enough to make the difference.

I like the Saints in this one too. The only thing that confuses me is that Sean Peyton is practicing in a dome when the temp in NO this week is much closer to Chicago. Not sure why he would do this??

I like the Saints as well. The Bears offense just doesn't scare me at all.

dieselwk · January 19th, 2007, 10:53 AM

would love to see the saints win, but i think to many people are thinking that its the saints destiny. just have that feeling that its going to be the bears in the end, and that we will have the 1985 super bowl rematch.

i'm taking the bears....lance briggs is the best linebacker in the game and he'll spy reggie bush and shut him down....the bears ground game is legit with jones and benson pounding the ball up the middle....berrian will make a least 1 50+ catch and hester will be a major factor....and it will be -599 degrees so i think weather is a factor...the bears are down to there 3rd string dt so i think they'll stack the box to shut down deuce and force brees and the wr corp to beat them....also rex just has to stay within the game plan which he's tryin to do more of...just take care of the ball

bears vs. colts
