oh boo hooo we've had amazing luck all friggen year long. we need to win a game where the conditions are against us. yes, the cold and snow will likely help the Vikings and their junior high QB. Who grew up in the South. and hasn't played in the deep cold. ok. yes, the game is STILL in Minnesota. yes, all the local yokals in Minneapolis will be out bragging of football in the cold, and likely will be plenty hyper for the game at its start. and yes, if the Bears start slow, that could snowball. but the Bears haven't beaten the Vikings in Minnesota since 2006. So much for that Tamp 2 dominating on field turf. Also, the past 2 years, the Vikings have routed us there. Good riddance, RollerDome. so now we need a game completely away from Minneapolis to feel good about ourselves? The injury concern is the only meaningful slam on this game, and I'm not yet convinced its a real concern.
