4. Going for an interception when it was 4th down for the Pats. (On 4th down, you're supposed to bat the ball down)
5. Fumbling said interception, giving the ball back to the Pats.
6. Marty wasting a timeout to challenge "that the charger player was not down by contact." wtf?
7. Not running Ladainian Tomlinson more.

I'm sure there's more over that, as well. Chargers gave that game away, and Pats did just enough to win.

Strangely, both NFC teams look more deserving to be where they are, than the offensively-struggling Colts and lucky soft-schedule Pats.

Eric Parker fumble and then trying to pick it up rather than dropping on it.

The Bears had the easiest schedule in the league.

Patriots had the 3rd most difficult schedule in the NFL and are now 14-4.

Bears had the 2nd easiest schedule in the NFL.

Well down at the half, but huge drive to get on the board, and still in the game despite the turnovers. The Lewis fumble on the kickoff was a completely bull **** call though, not sure you can be more down than that, CFL guys would have gotten that right.

Grossman isn't getting any help from his line or wr's when he throws

Saint Troy, it was a close call, the ball was loose for second on his way down.

Anyway, momentum is turning. I changed my Reggie Bush for my Sam Mills jersey at 16-0 ... clearly that has made a big difference.

History was against the Saints. They are the 10th Dome team in a row to lose on the road, out doors in a Championship game.

If the Colts win, they will have done it with the 3rd worst overall defense in 20 years. They allow 5.3 yards per carry, which is a full yard more than the worst championship defense (the 2001 New England Patriots). Only Detroit and Houston allowed a higher completion percentage.

History says the team with the better defense and the better game on the ground usually wins....From that perspective, Chicago looks like the safer pick.
