Field condition

They keep slipping, but on that drive that started from the freaking 3 yard line should have been 7.

All those weapons, and you run, on a shitty field, with a line who can't block, then throw to Jed?

Get the ball to graham, colston, etc... Terrible play calling by payton.

Pretty shitty

I wouldn't be surprised If they did

I thought they were both playing on the same field. Do the saints not have the same access to cleats as the bears? I'd they do, I see no problem at all.

Lol at these idiots that think like this pt woulda walked in on a decent field.

How's it a big advantage for the Bears? They're playing on the same field.

Anyway, I hate these kind of excuses. ARe the Bears not playing on the same field?

You have a point. But it's nonsensical to suggest the impact upon a team like N.O. is the same as the impact on the Bears.

When there is a speed disparity, one waters down the field, lets the grass grow long, etc. It's the equivalent of groundskeepers watering down the base paths when the opposing team steals a lot of bases. Does NOT affect both teams equally, unless the teams have the same team speed. Think about that abomination of a field for the Capital One bowl against Sandusky U. Was it better to slow the game down for them or us?

Because it's their own field ! They are used to it

same is true for the Dome. It's part of a "home field advantage".
