Yeah, at kick-off (my house) everyone was all in good spirits, doing shots and being generally talkative, by the end of the game some had gone home and most were just stunned into silence. I mean the Packers were 15-1 last season, but still we coulda made a better effort. The Bears need a better offensive line.

My buddy dusted off his Sayers jersey and was wearing his old school Bronko Nagurskie style helmet for about an hour. They ended up being thrown across the room against the wall. He couldn't believe how lifeless their play was.

Ill just put my two cents in here by saying this. The Bears havent done anything to impress me really since they faced off with New Orleans in the NFC championship game. I cant remember how long ago that was now but even then I knew they wouldnt win cause of the Q.B. situation{rex grossman) and its still the same.(cutler) Only now their deffense is starting to get old which is the only thing they could ever bank on to carry them very far anyway. Cutler to me isn't that great of a Q.B. other than getting hot a couple games at a time. He reminds me of Romo or someone of that caliber. You kind of hope he can pull it together and find some sort of consistency but it never happens. I like several of the players on the Bears so dont get me wrong im not just out to bash them but I dont think they are a super bowl caliber team in the slightest.
As far as the Pack I wouldnt lose any sleep over them looking a little rusty. They can get as hot as any team in the league when they want to. Anything short of Aaron Rodgers getting hurt and you can count on them being a force to reckon with as usual im sure. But thats just my opinion...I could be wrong.

No, thats pretty much spot on.

I think he nailed it also. Although Forte is a hell of a running back thats one place they are seemingly solid. Still its only one loss. They do have to find away to get by Detroit and Minnesota in divisional play or its gonna be a long season. Last season I thought da bears were coasting pretty well until the Cutler broken finger. I don't see them getting by Detroit and GB though, which is gonna knock them out of the wildcard race.

Freakin cowboys blew it Sunday! Same old story

My Chargers and 'Niners are both looking good.

Yep, 9ers look pretty solid.
