I wasn't so much saying the Pats can't play in the snow, more that I think it favours the Bears. They have, arguably a more consistent run game and a better D.

We look shocking so far so we could do with a hand from the Pats but i just have a feeling the Bears will win.

We've got Martz and Cutler on our O and I hope they go to the run but you just know they'll try something stupid at times in the game where Brady and co will do what it takes to sneak out a win.I hope your right but I think Martz will cost us the game with his play calling.

What exactly is the roof of the Minnesota dome made of? Looks like some sort of fabric, amazed it's not gone before looking at how flimsy it is.

It an inflatable roof apparently(well was) , it looks like bubble wrap to me

EDIT:- from wikipedia "The stadium is well known for its fiberglass fabric roof that is self-supported by air-pressure. This roof is also known to collapse in snowy weather. The Metrodome was also the second major sports facility to have a domed roof supported completely by air"

Nice. I bet you would be going blind had Brett Favre been stood under it when it went wouldn't you?

Speaking of Favre hes come out and said he doesn`t expect to play, so expect him to start then

Landon Johnson (sp) of the Lions looks like he could be badly injured. Hope it's not as bad as it looks, he's been down on the floor for a good few minutes. Think I saw him move his legs at one point.

Heres the hit on Rodgers for St Conroy http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-high ... _headlines Looks worse from the 2nd "front on" angle IMO

Rodgers becomes a runner and is still in the act of being tackled when the concussion hit comes. I stand to be corrected but that looks legal to me.
