Chicago fans & radio think the Saints aren't the same out of the dome

So, I live in Chicago...which as a Saints fan it gives me a look into what others think outside of Louisiana.
All week on their sports talk radio, I've been hearing the same thing: The bears have the advantage because the saints aren't the same team outside of the dome.
So one of the producers of the show I'm listening to looked into this stat and it revealed that since 2009, the saints are 22-11 on the road, which is the best in the NFL.
I lol'd

They're still an excellent team away from home, but there's no denying we have a huge advantage at home. Our team feeds off of it.

Every team plays better at home
I will say I'm not as optimistic as most. This O line scares me still. This stretch of games will be the true test.

It seems the saints are not the same on grass but im not looking at any stats to prove it.

Might want to adjust your thread title so posters reading get the point that your de-bunking the myth

I don't know - the bears defensive line is in shambles right now. they picked up a guy off the streets last Friday and played 12 snaps on Sunday against Detroit.
I guess I'm more optimistic than most because I hear everything bears related here and it just doesn't seem like the bears can win this game.

Payton/Brees are 0-3 at Soldier Field so they're not totally off base,
2006 NFC Championship L 39-14 (28°)
December 2007 - L 33-25 (couldn't find temp)
December 2008 - L 27-24 (28°)
That said, I like our chances this week though, low of 48° on Sunday.

I was at that game...such a miserable experience because of the weather. that game was all Devin Hester though...he took a punt to the house. I was in the upper deck end zone seats he was running to and saw the hole and knew immediately he was going to score.
I was at a local bar during the NFC championship game. being the only saints fan there, the experience wasn't all that bad. I got some good natured in your face ribbing but for the most part it was all good. I just remember right before the game started, a bears fan came up to me for some small talk, leaving me with, "I put $200 on the Saints so I hope they win"
I knew we were jinxed from there on out

What are you talking about?
NVM...gotcha. It was pretty funny listening to the uncomfortable silence after that stat was mentioned
