Week 1: Bears @ Green Bay - Sunday Sept. 10th, 3:15 pm CST

[BigbadB]

Fired up for a new season, one of the best defenses in the entire NFL going against a horrible offensive line and a quarterback who needs time to find open receivers against a division rival could spell excellent field position for the offense.

 

I think this game will be +10 Bears.

Wow...Peter King must really be harboring some kind of ill will against the Bears. The only mention he has of the Bears in his Monday Morning Quarterback column is in his Top 15 section, where he puts the Bears 4th, but says:

Who knows what a 26-0 win over Green Bay means.

 

Other than that, no mention of the Bears, of Grossman, of the defense, anything. Only quick mentions of how bad the Packers are.

We outright dominated the Packers but I have to agree with him. The Packers look to be a VERY bad team. I would like to see us play a team from a different division to be honest but there is no question our offense is much improved over Orton and company from last year.

 

I criticized Angelo for his draft picks but he's making me look like a fool right now. Hester looks to be the real deal and D.Manning had a INT. One way or another I just want my team to win :)

Update:

 

I hate you all. Damn Bears fans.

 

No offense but you had the 10 years prior to last. We sat there and listened to people say how the rivalry didn't mean anything anymore because only one side was keeping up their end of it. We listened to all the Packer love from the national media and took it. We watched Chicagoans like Mark R grow up and become Packers fans (in our own territory!). Even if this reversal is only temporary, it was worth the wait.

 

EXACTLY

 

No offense erik, but we've had to put up with obnoxious Packer fans and their "Bears still suck" song over & over again for over 10 years.

 

It's about time the shoe was on the other foot.

 

The shock and awe in Lambeau yesterday was a thing of beauty.

 

It's ok.

 

For 12 years the Bears were like a pesky fly. They would come around every so often, but would be easily squashed until the next time they showed up.

 

The Packers had an unusual string of seasons at or above .500. It finally caught up to them. They'll be bad for a few years, then hopefully all the high draft picks will pan out and mature and we'll be contenders again.

 

Enjoy it while it lasts. And even though you're the better team, I still hate the Vikings infinately more than I hate the Bears.

 

I intend to, but my optimism is of the cautious variety. I still see problems on the Bears; problems that can be exploited fairly easily. Nothing can be determined from one game.

 

The Packers continued having good seasons because Favre was holding that team together with Mississippi chicken wire. Most folks have realized the Pack were fielding teams that didn't match up to the records that were being produced. It's a testament to Brett Favre -- he's been amazing. What's really caught up to the Packers is just the fact that Favre is older now, and can't produce all those amazing comebacks any more.

 

AJ Hawk is a good start to the rebuilding plan, IMHO. The next logical step is to trade Favre, or politely ask him to retire. Aaron Rodgers has been wasting away on that bench for far too long already.

This is what my dad and i were talking abou today. No credit to the Bears all about how bad the packers are. Everybody knows that defenses win. The Bears have championship defense no doubt, no question. The question is the offense. Now yesterday that question probably wasnt fully answered by the offense but it was a significant improvement over last years team no doubt. This is big news people. If the Bears can put together a top 15 offense they are a....SUPER BOWL CONTENDER. Yeah you can say that again. Pay attention media.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

In other words, enjoy it for many years. :D
