The field will be a POS. It has been resodded but there is no way the roots have taken. Teams will be wearing the longest cleat they can. The rain, sleet, snow will not help any either. Footing will be treacherous. Latest weather prediction calls for gusts of 40 mph, sub zero wind chills and snow. Sounds like Siberia.
The running games will decide this game. I like how the BJGE runs the ball and you guys have a great O line. Bear D line has to bring it and our LBs are tops.
Our O line worries me especially with Wilfork.
Could be a sloppy game.

Bear weather at it's finest. =)
People keep talking about the bad field and snow. Those are totally insignificant. All NFL teams deal with it a couple times per year. What will have an effect is being wet + 45 mph winds and temps in the teens. It's going to be just miserable and when those big gusts of winds swirl in off the lake and hit wet gloves, shoes, pants, jerseys... It will be a test of will just to stand out on the field. I know you guys play in the snow but this week end the Pats will get a taste of Chicago's finest weather.
These are the games the Bears and Bear fans love the most. =)
