[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

SOONER-BEARSSS GO FOR IT. See ya in the Super Bowl!

[Chuck Bao]

Sic'em Bears!

No wait...

Okay, not my Alma Mater, but I'm still giving the cheer.

[SleestakSooner]

Stuck working with no TV access for this one, anyone know of a live update gamestat for this that is free?

[SleestakSooner]

never mind, found this (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/gameTrax?gameId=20070121003&refreshRate=60&view=stats) which should do from foxsports.

[MissouriSooner]

The NFL site also has a game tracker

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Benson running harder than he ever did in Gaystin! Go Bearsss!

[sooner518]

geez great goal line stand by the Saints although Grossman had a wide open receiver on 1st and goal.

Bears-3
Aints-0

[Chuck Bao]

Vasher and Benson. I'm having second thoughts about my precious vmoney on this game.

[MissouriSooner]

Grossman is gonna cost the Bears this game unless the Chicago D saves his bacon.

[sooner518]

whats the rule on this fumble? the ball had moved a bit in his hands on the way down, then the knee hits, then he completes the strip of the ball.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Grossman is gonna cost the Bears this game unless the Chicago D saves his bacon.Naw, he's gonna start playing well...Bearsss!

[MissouriSooner]

Bears 9, Saints 0, 8:52 2Q

[AllAboutThe'O']

Bears 9, Saints 0, 8:52 2Q
Actually, it's Robbie Gould 9, Saints 0.
And the Bears are in field goal range once again.

[MissouriSooner]

Roger that. If da Bears don't get a touch here, I'm gonna really get worried.

[MissouriSooner]

TD Bears!

[Newbomb Turk]

Thomas Jones is da man. Showed Ced how it is done.

[MissouriSooner]

TJ's showing Ced who's THE back.

[MissouriSooner]

TD Saints. The game is afoot.

[Newbomb Turk]

good answer there by the Saints. that was a must for them to hang in this game.

[MissouriSooner]

Grossman is a dumbass.

[North Dakota Sooner]

Grossman is a dumbass.


He always looks lost like he doesnt have a clue:mack:

[Chuck Bao]

46 seconds left.

I hate when they do that.

[MissouriSooner]

Bears 16, Saints 7, Halftime

[MissouriSooner]

Bradshaw is right on the halftime show; the Bears are taking the ball out of Grossman's hands, but that tactic ain't gonna work for the entire game. At some point, he's gonna have to step up and play QB.

[TUSooner]

Just checkin in. Saints are just hangin on.
On the Nervous Wreck scale I'm at 7; but my average for an OU game is 8.5, so I think I'll make it without barfing. :)

[MissouriSooner]

Crap!

[Sooner98]

Sweet fancy Moses, Bush is amazing.

[tommieharris91]

That play brought up bad memories... and bad thoughts...

[SoonerInKCMO]

Still a prick though.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Still a prick though.Didn'tcha love his celebration?

[MissouriSooner]

Grossman time...

[North Dakota Sooner]

Grossman time...

If by Grossman time, you mean mediocre at best quarterbacking than I am with ya

[MissouriSooner]

If by Grossman time, you mean mediocre at best quarterbacking than I am with ya
Yeah, that's what I meant; when you have to depend on Grossman to get momentum back, you're in deep doo-doo.

[MissouriSooner]

Good stop by Bears D.

[SleestakSooner]

Did he leave that kick short? Was it against the wind? Oh and is it snowing up there during the game?

[MissouriSooner]

Bears 16, Saints 14, 6:57 3Q

[North Dakota Sooner]

Yeah it was coupled with the cundiff miss, bears have pretty good field position

[WASOONERFAN]

Bears D needs to come up again. It might be to much to ask?

[Newbomb Turk]

He always looks lost like he doesnt have a clue:mack:

it's more than a look.

[MissouriSooner]

Safety = big break for Bears.

[North Dakota Sooner]

Saints D is steppin up doin their part

[Chuck Bao]

Nothing going, but may be going to Super Bowl?

I may change to root for the Saints.

Reggie at least gives us some entertainment value.

[Newbomb Turk]

Saints D is steppin up doin their part

their D has played pretty darn well. considering the field position Chicago had in the 1st half.

[MissouriSooner]

I want Bears to win, but fear that Saints will because they have a QB.

[Newbomb Turk]

I may change to root for the Saints.


I guess I'm pulling for the Bears, but I don't have a problem with the Saints going to the Super Bowl.

[birddog]

bears all the way!!

i hope game 2 today is as close as this one.

[MissouriSooner]

YES!! Great catch!

[tommieharris91]

OMG WHAT A CATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I think y'all know who I'm looking for.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Rex comes through when he has to, like he did all year! GO BEARSSS!

[GrapevineSooner]

Dear Fox,

Thank you for waiting until AFTER the PAT to show us and the Saints the replay on that catch thereby preventing New Orleans from having a good look to decide to challenge the play.

I realize that it simply would have setup the Bears on their own one instead of giving them a TD. But anything can happen.

Seriously, the NFL needs to incorporate some system to allow coaches more time to decide whether they want to challenge a play when the network totally drops the ball on showing a replay.

[garland sooner]

oh... that looks like bears ball.

[MissouriSooner]

If NO puts Fred Thomas back in as DB, the Bears should throw every pass at the receiver he's covering.

[MissouriSooner]

As an aside, what's up with the prison-issue outfits worn by some of the NLF refs this year?

[Newbomb Turk]

seems like it should be Chicago ball to me.

[tommieharris91]

I thought, in the NFL, teams usually get to see replays of any play whenever they want to. They just have to tell a ref before the next play goes.

By the way, the only thing that was in question on the catch was if it was a TD or not.

[Newbomb Turk]

I don't think so - not without a challenge.

[MissouriSooner]

Bears can start tuning up to sing the Super Bowl Shuffle...

[Rhino]

Collegiate allegiances aside, that was a helluva run by Benson.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Reggie at least gives us some entertainment value.Ugly, ugly post! GO BEARSSS!

[tommieharris91]

This is how the Bears were blowing out everybody in the beginning of the season. Defense forces turnovers that put the offense with good field position.

[tommieharris91]

Ohh, and that Gary Gibbs-led defense is starting to rear its ugly head.

[Sooner98]

Well, it looks more and more like the Bears are who we thought they were. I'm gonna go ahead and crown their asses. :D

[tommieharris91]

I don't think so - not without a challenge.

I've heard some do, and some don't. Sean Payton was ready to throw his red flag after that play anyway.

[Rhino]

And, a helluva INT by Vasher.

[tommieharris91]

Texass fans must be going crazy right now.

Wish Harris and Bradley and that gang were healthy.

[Sooner_Bob]

Nice to see that DaBears are winning this game despite Rex Grossman not playing that great.

[TUSooner]

Wellp, that's the 4th Saint TO (+ a 25yd loss on another fumble). That and the Bears' D is the story. Brees has had a real stinker of a game, mostly great D, but also bad throws. Also, no TOs and no penalties :eek: for the Bears. That ads up to a solid loss for my guys. Ouch.

[TUSooner]

I've heard some do, and some don't. Sean Payton was ready to throw his red flag after that play anyway.
He would have lost a challenge anyway.

Saints #1 draft priority - a replacement for Freddie "Burned More Often Than Toast" Thomas.

[TUSooner]

Jamal (and the rest of the NO O-line) has had a pretty poor game, too. :(

[Octavian]

Troy loves to brag on JJ...



Nothing wrong w/ that but I love how it just kills him that they won another one under Switz

[MissouriSooner]

T.Jones had a HUGE day!

[TUSooner]

At the start of the season, when I never dreamed the Saints would be in the playoffs, I pegged the Bears as my NFC favorite. (Another Bear TD, btw :( )
If the Pats win, I'll be for the Bears; but if Indy wins, I'll be for the Colts.

[soonerboomer93]

I have a hard time going against Brady in the playoffs

[SoonerInKCMO]

Text message from a Bears fan friend of mine:


Can u tell joe buck to get off NO's dick?

:D

[BeetDigger]

Dear Lovie Smith,

The good news is that you are going to the Super Bowl.

The bad news is Rex Grossman is still your quarterback.

It could be the Grossman that has a 100+ QB rating or the Grossman that has a rating of less than 40. Not sure I would like to go into the big game wondering who shows up. I guess if your defense can create four turnovers, you will be alright. Not sure if you can count on that however.

Exactly. I think the Bears (because of their D) have a better chance of beating Indy than they do of beating Brady & Belichek & a better balaced Patriots.
Lemme tell ya, I don't enjoy the Saints losing, but it's WAAAAAY easier to handle than ANY OU loss. The Saints had a great season, so I can't kick much. Plus, Mrs. TU won $125 with 9 & 4 on her office "square" pool. :D

[Newbomb Turk]

TU - sorry the Saints lost. Would have been a great story if they would have made the Super Bowl. Heck of a season though.

[TUSooner]

Thanks. ;)

[tommieharris91]

Still a heckuva season for y'all. I actually thought you guys would be like 8-8 and be in the hunt for the playoffs this year. But yyour team went a lot farther than anyone expected. Great story, still. Sean Payton will finish his Saints career with a Super Bowl ring. Don't know when, but it will happen.

[Jello Biafra]

they made it to the superbowl. thats all i cared about really. grossman just doesn't give me warm fuzzy's. as sad as it is to say that, i think next years team will be better (at least on defense)

rex better grow up quickly or he will be a professional clipboard holder in the next couple of years. i don't know why......im just not as happy as i was when the 85 team won the nfc.........

[TUSooner]

At this point, it looks like the Bears vs Pats. Unless the Bear defense can throttle Brady (doubtful), it seeems likely that the Patriots' D will find away to force Grossman into a 0 QB rating.
For me football season is over after the Conference championships, because the 2-week wait for 1 overhyped game is, well . . . just not part of the season. I'll be pulling for the Bears, but not with much hope.

[birddog]

colts-pats now tied at 21 after pats jumped out to 21-3 lead.

Yeah, win or lose, there is no question that the Bears will be looking for a veteran QB next year. I don't think that they will get rid of Grossman, but I think that they bring in someone for a safety net. And not someone of Griese's caliber. They will be looking for a veteran who can step in and start.

[Ash]

Bears v Colts in teh supa bowl

[setem]

Did enyone else see the Bears fans that were flipping the bird on national tv right before the 1st half was over?

As I was saying... I expect the Colts to make a great comeback to beat the Pats. :O I don't think the Colts' D is as good as the Pats', so Grossman might get some slack. And the Bears' D is back to near-Monster form, so I give the Bears a decent chance.

Still, Grossman always looks like a clueless 13-year-old behind the steering wheel of a cement truck: Somebody's gonna get hurt, but you don't know if it's the Bears or their opponent.

Go, Colts!

hahaha! great imagery! (and, unfortunately, very apt) :D


....perhaps sig worthy?

[SoonerStormchaser]

I think Peyton's gonna get bruised and battered by the Bears D.

Right now, I'd take Bears against the spread...but Colts winning.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

It'll be DA BEARSSS!

[springs sooner]

Now that i have sobbered up after the post game celebration. good game by the bears D to not let NO get rolling in the 2nd half.

By the way Reggie way to be class act by taunting Urlacher down the field. Your team did not do squat after that.
