NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

New Orleans Saints (11-6) AT Chicago Bears (14-3)

I'm not going to be on here much during the game today guys, but thought I would get this started for those who want to chat during the game. Should be a great game. ONE WIN FROM THE SUPER BOWL! GO BEARS!! :D

[Webgem]

I have butterflys.....:eek:

[scuba]

Me too, gem, but in a good way. I just have a feeling they are going to play well today. ;)

[DLee25]

Me too, anyone know if Soldier has any snow? Eastern Iowa just got about 6 inches and It looks like it's going up that way.

I think the bears need to come out and set the tone early.

[Webgem]

It's been snowing off and on there but the field has been covered.

BEAR DOWN.....20 minutes.:eek:

[VanMan]

Each team had a rather uneventful possession, and then the Bears got a sack and forced fumble. I wonder what Agunlye was trying to do? Fall on the d--n ball!

Rex almost gave up a pick. Thomas knocked an underthrown ball away from Berrian.

[VanMan]

Grossman through two possessions, 0-4, 0 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT (though the Saints almost got one on that batted ball).

[VanMan]

Colston fumbled!!!!! Vasher recovers and takes it to the 36!!!!!!

[VanMan]

Bears now face a fourth and 1 on the 3.

[VanMan]

Bears call time out after they showed they would go for it.

I think they should kick for three at this point in the game, with it scoreless with 2:35 left in the first quarter, however, they'll go for it.

[VanMan]

Got the first down, then just over threw a wide open Dez.

[VanMan]

Now the Bears go for three on fourth and goal from the 1.

[VanMan]

FOX just showed a sign that says, "Ditka is a God, not a Saint." LOL

[VanMan]

Bears just got a fumble on the kickoff, but I think Sean Payton will challenge.

[VanMan]

"After review, the call on the field stands."

Second turnover by New Orleans today on their third fumble.

[VanMan]

End of the first quarter, Bears 3, New Orleans 0.

[VanMan]

Benson slipped on 3rd and 2 at the 22 to make it 4th and 5 on the 25 and a FG try. Benson needs to go to the pits and get four new tires... Oh, wait, wrong sport.

Gould is 24K again, 6-0 Bears.

[VanMan]

Copper gets called for a tick-tack Offensive PI, then an incomplete pass, then Bush can't get anything going on a 1-yard gain. Brees can't get Colston on third down, so a three-and-out.

[VanMan]

Big gainer to Dez for 30 yards on second down!

[VanMan]

Bears are pounding the ball now with Benson. First and goal coming up on the Saint 7.

[WrigleyFielder]

Go Redskins!

:(

[VanMan]

Go Redskins!

:(
Redskins? You sound like either my dad or my cousin's husband.

[VanMan]

Another third and goal coming up on the 6 after throwing behind Jones.

[WrigleyFielder]

Redskins? You sound like either my dad or my cousin's husband.

Two very smart men I take it :)

It was a rough season, enjoy this game, it'll be good

[VanMan]

Rex threw it away, so Robbie puts another three on the board, 9-0 Bears.

[VanMan]

Two very smart men I take it :)

Hey, at least I'm not talking to myself. Where's everyone else?

[WrigleyFielder]

I've never seen such a lopsided 9-0 game lol

[VanMan]

So far for Rex, 3-11, 37 yards.

[WrigleyFielder]

Hey, at least I'm not talking to myself. Where's everyone else?

I dunno where everyone is I figured a game as big as this would have a lot more folks in it

[VanMan]

Brees scrambles for a first down on third and 5.

[VanMan]

I dunno where everyone is I figured a game as big as this would have a lot more folks in it
I'll bet everyone else is at a sports bar, maybe not the same sports bar the Guiness guys were at in one of those commercials.

[WrigleyFielder]

Brilliant!

[VanMan]

Tillman with a big pass DEF on third and two, forcing NO to punt.

[VanMan]

14 yards for Jones on first down after the punt, off-tackle.

[VanMan]

Jones breaks off another big run of 33! I guess Lovie felt he'd give NO a healthy diet of Benson, then have them softened up for Jones.

[WrigleyFielder]

Bears are about to tear this one open

[VanMan]

First and goal inside the 10.

Just keep feeding it to Jones, and see if they can stop it.

[VanMan]

Jones to the 2 on first and goal, approaching the 2:00 Warning.

[VanMan]

Jones now as 7 rushes for 67 yards.

[VanMan]

Make that 8 rushes for 69 yards and a touchdown!

TOUCHDOWN BEARS!!!

[VanMan]

Hey, could someone type up the words for the Bears' fight song?

[VanMan]

Brees finally got one to Colston to the Bears 44, followed by Henderson catching one at the Bears 27.

[VanMan]

Third and 10 now on the Bears 27. Big play here.

[VanMan]

Copper got a first-down catch.

[VanMan]

Colston with a touchdown, :46 left in the half. Bears 16, Saints 7. Hope this isn't a momentum swinger.

[VanMan]

Bears in a hurry-up? Lot of miscommunication there.

[VanMan]

It's halftime, Bears 16, Saints 7.

I'm going to shut down and get ready for work. Go Bears!

[Webgem]

16-7 at halftime....still anyone's ballgame.

[dundeecub]

Bollocks!

16-14

[diehardnorthsider]

WOW I have been busy all day and I just now turn on the tv. Looks like Superbowl Shuffle II!!!

[NeifiPerezMVP2007]

I wonder ??????? hmmmm??????:cool:

[dundeecub]

My, oh, my. That was terribly satisfying...

[Webgem]

Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.

[ryno4ever]

Bears vs. Colts!!!!!!! Go Bears!!!!!
