Better to start the season with some tough teams on the
schedule...
Nice to have the bye week mid-season

I think this is actually the friendliest schedule we've had in a
few years.
The bye week is extremely well timed, and even though those
first 3 games are a mutha, 3 of our first 4 are at home which
will allow the Bears to get their feet under them in Soldiers
(literally), and assuming they play well and win, build up a lot
of positive vibe with the home crowd early in the season. I
like the fact that we are playing 3 quality teams right out of
the chute... By the end of that 3rd game we should have a very
clear read on if these 2011 Bears have the talent and brains to
repeat in the playoffs or if it was all just smoke and mirrors
last year as many want to clain.
Obviously the league bias for the Packers shows in us again
having to go up to Lambeau late in the season, but other than
that it looks like a pretty fair hand. It's kind of weird
having all four of the AFC West games lined up in one stretch
but I don't see those being particularly tough matchups although
the Raiders could surprise some people this year.

Pompeii is ****ing about the Bears having 5 preseason games...
I say, bring 'em on.
Lovie's teams are never prepared for the regular season so if a
5th preseason game forces them to do the work they don't do in
training camp, then so much the better.
Our offense, especially, needs as much preseason work against
live opponents as it can get.
Likewise, if the threat of being 0-3 after the first three
regular season games doesn't get our boys motivated in training
camp, then there's really no hope.

the other thing about 5 preseason games is we get to start a
week earlier which means the players and coaches have an extra
week to work on things that other teams don't get.
I was thinking a few minutes ago.
If there were no cap and each NFL team had to operate on their
own...
Would Chicago spend more or less money on players?
Dallas, Wash and likely NYG would spend more I am sure.
What about Chicago though.
At one time I would have thought they would have spent less but
not sure now.

The first 5 of the last 7 games look winnable, but Bears always
seem to suck traveling West, so it's worriesome. If they dig
themselves a big hole in the 1st 3 weeks, it looks like they'd
have a chance to dig out of it there

The one thing that stinks about that opening schedule is that
not only are they 3 very good teams, but they are all NFC teams.
Certainly we can recover from an 0-3 start... but losing to the
Falcons, Saints and Packers would severely hurt our playoff
chances because the only way we are likely to make the playoffs
this year is as a wildcard... and not having the head-to-head
advantage against any of those teams could be devastating in a
tiebreaking scenario.
I also see we have 4 night games. That's not so great.
Cutler's return to Denver on Dec. 11 should be fun... assuming
he's not on IR by then.

There won't be an agreement in place between the owners and the
players soon enough to allow for 5 preseason games. I'll be
surprised to see 2.

The word was witch with a b.
Also, incredibly, this site hashes out the word "****" (rhymes
with "ramble" and starts with g, people go to Vegas to do it).
Seriously... are the Mormons running this site or something?
Weird.
