People are writing off both NO and indy as they had poor starts to the season, but both have been looking very good as of late.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we have a repeat of last year.



It is easy to write teams off based on past performance and stats, but odd things do happen.  Just look at Seattle, who would have thought a 7-9 team would ever make the playoffs.  All it takes is one key turnover, one bad penalty, one shanked field goal attempt, and even the worst teams can win a game.

After last nights results I'll just shut up  :-X ;D ;D

I dont really mind who wins it as long as its not the Pats. Wouldn't mind Seattle, just to make up for the fix of 2005. But I think NO lost that game last night as much as Seattle won it.

The Bears should have finished off Green Bay in the last season game. Before that game, some of the Chicago players were saying this game isn't important and then went to the game and only went through the motions to get the game over with. Now Green Bay is back in thier faces.
(If the bears can win one today.)

Yeah.. big game.. lotsa history.

I'll disagree though, that they went through the motions. They know how dangerous that Packers are right now, and wanted them knocked out... that game was a battle deluxe.

Over the last few weeks; the Packers have shoutout the Jets in NY, and almost beat the Pats in Boston, with Rodgers on the bench.. They just beat the Eagles in Philly, and destroyed the Falcons in Atlanta..

Yeah, your right on about the packers Brett. A little wager, though.. If the Pack beat the Bears next week I'll eat 2 pounds of Cheddar cheese from a stainless steel mouse trap!  ::):P

Nah.. I wouldn't let you do that to yourself..  :D

I know better than to get confident about a Packer/Bear game..  but right now; they're playing on a different level. Unbeatable in a fragile kinda way..  the wheels can come off for a team on a run.. so I'll just cross my fingers and know that I'll be watching history.
