Saints @ Bears: Pre-Game Open Thread

by Dave Cariello on Dec 11, 2008 6:07 PM CST

Since CSC has been so active today (Lot's of FanPosts!! I am lovin' it! Great work everybody, you are finally getting the hang of it!) and there has been so much going on in Who Dat Nation (snow, Deuce's dad, StarCaps, Doug Marrone) I figured I would throw up a pre-game open thread for anyone who is sitting around waiting for the game to get started like myself.

Meet you at the Tostitos!

I'll be watching at home with my wife

and I’ve already planned to take another sick day tomorrow

I’m not sure if I can be in the open thread during the game, b/c the Saints are 0-2 this season when I’m on the thread (Minnesota, and @ TB). I don’t want to mess up our playoff chances…

I really need to get that video capture card

NFL Network had Payton diagramming plays on the flatscreen, showed Reggie’s big play in the Dallas game and another one.

Biggest game of the year, for me. I am nervous as a cat.

Valerie Bertinelli??? at Soldier Field???

man, I really like watching Prime Time, Sapp, Mooch, and Eisen and Faulk on this pregame. And I forgot that Faulk was coached by Payton @ SDSU.

and now the Saints are out on the field, warming up in their uniforms

46 minutes til KO, and I’m twitching and shaking – not epillepsy, just all nervous about the game

Very excited..

Very nervous. Da Bears haven’t been very kind to us lately. I say it’s time to return the favor. My pick for player of the game is Colston..I’m feeling a BIG BIG day from him.

Geaux Saints!!
