I am obviously a big homer for the Bears, but trying to look at it objectively, I think that a lot of people are missing one huge point.

The Bears D is obviously a shell of what it was earlier this season without Harris on the line -- but people are forgetting that the Saints D has given up more long passes (the criteria was either 30 or 40 yards) than any team in the entire NFL. That's where Grossman excels -- finding seams for long balls to Clark and Berrian.

In that sense, while the Bears don't have the offensive weaponry that the Saints do, the Saints D seems to have a lot of gaping holes in their secondary that can be exploited by that trio of guys.

I don't have an overwhelming feeling of success for the Bears tomorrow (unless I'm talking to Jamie, then I am 100% positive they will win), but I think that people aren't giving them enough credit because the Saints have the flashiness and the story this year.
