NFC Championship: Bears vs. Saints - Sun Jan 21, 2 pm CST

[Omar]

Smart plays by Turner so far.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

This is a bad sign man. They score one TD and now we don't even know what we're doing?

 

We're in trouble.

 

Hopefully they will go in the locker room, talk about it, and fix it.

 

Bears were confused at the half last week too. Remember Lovies timeout with 2 secs left?

wasnt that at the end of the regulation?

yep

[USSoccer]

Rex looks jittery. It would be nice to see some pass plays called to get him in a rythym.

 

Great D and special teams, last drive notwithstanding.

You could be right...nonetheless, they don't seem to have the clock management aspect ironed out.

[Mizzou]

20 pages since the start of the game? I've never understood how you guys can post in this thread, yet enjoy the game at the same time.

 

What was up with the confusion with Grossman at the end of the half there?

Rex looks jittery. It would be nice to see some pass plays called to get him in a rythym.

 

Great D and special teams, last drive notwithstanding.

 

Short pass plays.. screen them if you have to.

[Coach C]

This Is Our Country #6 time??

 

and it wasn't the first commercial

 

It was almost the second, cadillac is a GM product, but no song

 

Number #?? NO!!!!

 

HOLY COW, I don't know what to make of this?

 

There was a score, there has to be a truck commercial

 

Fourth??? NO it was a toyota commercial

 

Fifth, it has to be the fifth commercial, chrysler, all the autos but chevy.

 

They didn't do it, I'm so dissapointed, maybe it's only after FGs

Unfortunately, looked like the Saints finally found something on that last drive. Remember those two times we had to settle for FGs instead of punching it in. I'm worried that will come back to haunt us big time.

[Mark_R]

Smart plays by Turner so far.

 

I was actually shocked to see him not go for a gimme TD on the TJ drive with a play action to Dez. Although nothing is a gimme with Rex throwing the ball :lol:

Yeah, use the tight ends and backs a little bit. Stuff like that to get him in a groove. If he gets on track, we're winning this game.

[Omar]

Is the game coming back after the next commercial?

We'll see. The Saints get to go in, get warm, and come back out in the cold...lets see if they can catch when they come back out.

[Mark_R]

I wouldn't be shocked to see Payton try a surprise onside kick.

I believe we need points on the first drive after halftime to stem the momentum of the Saints.

No.

[Brian]

this 2nd half may kill me. Long sustained drive for a TD please!

:shock:

:shock:

 

I remember the New York Jets tried that.. to start the second half. Someone (Forgot who) caught it.

[Banedon]

Snow.

 

Payton plans on throwing the ball more...

[Mark_R]

:shock:

 

He did it against Dallas, (albeit in a different situation) but his team really got outplayed in the first half and what they need is to sustain momentum

[moorecg]

After the 5 beer first half there is a good chance the 2nd half won't be good to me...

[Mark_R]

Didn't do it, but a nice wrap up on Hester.

[Coach C]

Hester almost lost it...
