End Game
More Game
Okay, so Brees chucks out of the end zone and is called for intentional grounding – okay call. That’s a safety, so it’s 18-14 Bears.
It makes you wonder how Bill Belichick can keep protecting Brady year after year, with all the injuries their OL has suffered.
Two good throws for Rex and the Bears are threatening, at the Saints 40. It’s started to snow, which is an advantage for the Bears.
Fourth Quarter.
It’s the Championship Quarter. Really, New Orleans can’t argue with a four-point deficit (although it should only be one). If they have what it takes to be a Super Bowl contender, they will win this quarter. To be a champion you have to play like a champion.
Berrian for 11, Berrian for 33 – TD Bears! Great work on an under-thrown ball that the DB was in the way of. It could easily have been picked. Berrian caught it on his back. Rex was getting clobbered by a Saints DL and just got the throw off.
Bears 25-14.
Nice drive by Rex. He was four for four and got the TD under heavy pressure. This is Bears football – a fluky play here and there, solid D and a defensive score, all covering up some terrible plays by the offense.
Rex is nightmarishly streaky.
Lovie is challenging a non-fumble by Brees, and he might get the call (these refs are proving to be homers). But after the Bears picked up the ball, they dropped it and a Saint fell on it – how far will the review go? They’re supposed to review everything they see – beyond the scope of the original challenge.
Replay shows that a Saint touched the Bear (Ogunleye) who recovered the non-fumble, so he’d be down there. It’s a turn-over. Not a bad call.
Bears ball at the NO 30. Five-yard loss by Jones – but flag on NO. The refs are officially killing them. That bogus three in the first half doesn’t look so big now.
Down to 12:00 in the game. Bears at the 11.
Which is the exact number of yards that Cedric Benson runs for a TD.
Bears 32-14.
It’s so odd because it doesn’t feel like the Bears are killing them, but things just break their way and they get scores. Not that they aren’t earning the points, because they are (for the most part).
I’m not terribly bummed at the outcome for two reasons. First, NO would be such a sentimental favorite in the Super Bowl that the Pats would be complete WWE style bad guys for beating them. We don’t need any more writers calling Belichick and company names for being cold and efficient football machines.
Second, we can get sweet revenge for 1985 at last. It will be so nice. I hope we can crush the spirit of the whole region, I really do.
Hmm. Maybe that’s why people don’t like Pats fans.
Brees throws a pick – but it seemed like equal possession. Doesn’t a tie go to the offense? No matter – Bears run a play.
10:00 left. The thing about Pats fans is that we’ve really been through the fan’s meat grinder over the years, and have suffered more than our share of taunting by opponents. And we don’t really taunt at all. We’re like our great coach – we celebrate when it’s time to celebrate.
Like last week’s Chargers game – Shawn Merriman does a dance when he makes a play. Our guys mocked that dance after we won the game. It was his dance – if it was so offensive, why wasn’t it offensive when he did it? And our guys did it after we won, not when the game was being contested. They celebrated only when they had something to celebrate.
Two firsts for Bush, clock stopped at 8:16. The Fat Lady is warming up with hot lemon tea.
Urlacher pastes Colston over the middle so he drops a pass. Honestly, how can a QB put one upstairs to a guy in front of a Pro Bowl middle linebacker? 4th and 13 – incomplete. Bears ball.
Is that an aria I hear?
Pats-Colts in 30 minutes. I won’t be able to do anything but scream during that one. In 2004 I yelled so loud during the Super Bowl that I set off the house alarm (true story).
I know it’s moot, but a Saint just pushed the Bears FB out of bounds and the refs wound the clock anyway. They must really need to get to the bar.
TD Jones – and the song is sung for good.
39-14 Bears.
Great season for the Saints. One of the buggers about football is that the disappointment of a loss lingers more than anything, obscuring a great season - or is that just me? This Saints team has a bright future and I hope the city has some sort of silly-ass parade and bacchanal for them.
That goes for the Bears as well, because the Pats are going to shred them. The Pats don’t make the kind of (forced) errors that the Bears need to win. They’re too disciplined and too well-coached.
Signing off. Go Patriots!
