in NFC North
314 comments
In approximately two hours, the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears will kick things off at Soldier Field in a game that's off immense interest to Vikings fans.
If the Bears were to lose to the Saints tonight, the Vikings would have to win just one of their remaining three ball games to wrap up the NFC North division and a playoff spot. Also, a Saints victory tonight would pretty much ensure that the Vikings would be the only NFC North team this season with ANY victories over any of the teams in the NFC South. The Vikings are currently 2-1 against the NFC's best division (in my opinion). . .the Packers have already gone 0-4 against the NFC South, the Bears are currently 0-3 against them going into tonight's game, and the Lions are 0-3 against the NFC South, and they'll host New Orleans in Week 16.
So, let's all gather around the NFL Network (or the online stream here if you don't get that channel) and pull for favor to smile down upon the Beloved Purple. It's already done so once with the announcement about the StarCaps case, but one more time isn't too much to ask, is it?
Discuss the game here, folks. . .I'll be watching, and I hope that you will be, too.
GEAUX SAINTS!!

Williams Tackles
ESPN reported: A Minnesota judge extended his injunction against the suspension of five players for violating the NFL’s anti-doping policy on Thursday, clearing the way for them to play at least the next two weeks and into the postseason.
Wow! As a die hard I’m shocked. Good news.

31 yards in 6 plays, taking 2:12 off the clock.
Hartley converts the extra point, and the Saints lead 24-21 with 3:05 left in the ball game.
Now all the Saints have to do is make sure Daniel Manning doesn’t get a huge kick return, and with the way the Bears’ offense has looked in the second half, they should be alright.

I don't know why NFLN doesn't have it
But the Bears now have 1 left, as do the Saints.
And they need to re-spot this one so it’s 3rd and short for Chicago rather than a first down.

Bears to the 10
And they get out of bounds.
12 seconds left on the clock.

That was close.
Don’t know how they didn’t call Pass Interference there.

Damn!
Collinsworth actually makes a good point. . .had the Saints let Orton go, the clock would have ran out.
But players don’t think like that, so Gould will come on to attempt a 27-yard FG for the tie after the Bears call their last time out.

I think Collinsworth is a pretty good announcer.

Solid Gould
Robbie knocks it home, and it’s tied at 24.

Okay, having failed that. . .
We need Kyle Orton to remember that he’s still Kyle Orton.

The Saints need a stop here.

Jeebus, the friggin' Saints
generally outplay these idiots the whole game and then this. Coin toss goes the other way, different outcome.

I don’t like our chances of winning all three of our remaining games since they’re probably against playoff teams. I guess Atlanta at home is our best shot. It’ not that our pass D is so bad, it’s just that I don’t think Childress can have his offense keep up with the Cardinals. And I heard Antonio Pierce say on the radio the other day that they planned on playing their starters all year regardless of record.
Chicago only has two more games against Green Bay and at Houston, so their schedule is miles easier than ours. I’m not optimistic about making the playoffs, but on a brighter note, I’m more optimistic about Childress getting fired.
