Ah, now that's how playoff football is supposed to be. None of this dome [censored].

I got bored and it looks like the avg GB attempt against was ~35.5 yds and NE's was 37.2 yds.

Thanks! That seems pretty negligable - maybe worth a point.

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Payton's decision to practice indoors. I know it's supposed to be only in the high 20's with some possible snow, but that's still probably the coldest conditions in which the Saints have played in several years.

And hearing McAllister talk about it is somewhat concerning. He said something like you can't let the conditions affect you in a big game like this. Which sounds nice, until you get out there and your fingers are numb and Urlacher is slamming you into the frozen mud.

May not be an issue, but I think it's a definite mistake to practice indoors.

I do think the whole weather factor is a overrated. I've seen the Bears get their asses handed to them by too many warm weather road teams during "Bear Weather" in seasons past. I refuse to acknowledge that this will be a factor.

embarrassing field

when will northern teams just admit grass doesn't last long enough into the year and just use athletic turf?
