The monsters of the Midway eventually prevailed after a strong start to the third quarter by the Saints offense. Hats off to the Bears though. What a relentless defense, and you’ve just got to love Rex…he showed what he really has today. Kudos to UT alums Vasher and Benson, both of whom had some big plays.

Even though I am disappointed by today’s loss, I am really excited about the Saints future prospects. If they are this good at this stage of the game, they could be a force to contend with for several years to come. They have nothing to hang their heads about either. It was a great game today, and it was a wonderful season. Now I can just sit back and enjoy the superbowl, not having to worry about who will win. I like all the remaining teams and I am hoping for a couple more exciting and well played games before kissing this NFL season goodbye.

On a sidebar – Roger Federer and Andy Roddick are both playing well at the Australian Open (as is James Blake). If they both continue to win they will meet in the semifinals, and if Nadal keeps winning on his side of the draw we could see a Nadal – Federer or Nadal – Roddick final. Something to look forward to.

They were methodical and well balanced. The score (27-24) was a true reflection of the game. The Saints had a clear advantage in terms of ball possession and rushing yards – the Eagles had a few big plays. I love watching this team play! They are so well coached, the play calling is right on, and the execution is excellent most of the time – keep in mind, there are a lot of young players on this team.

Go Saints!! You are America’s “new” team!
