It's going to give me the warm and tinglies watching the Pack rough the Bears up the first game of the season. I can't wait. Our new blitzing scheme vs the revamped (and most likely dreadful) Bears offensive line. Good luck Orton.

I "almost" feel sorry for Kyle Orton. Living this close to Purdue, I saw alot of that guy. Enjoyed the way he beat up on Notre Dame AND Penn State. Orton will probably be the first real QB da bears have had in a decade. It should make the black & blue rivalry more fun to watch.
=======================
Here's a thought. The Pack goes to Ford Field, MetroDome and Soldier Field - all in September. Then in December, we invite those teams to Lambeau, to finish out the Season. For the longest time, it's been the reverse.

I don't really mind the Turkey Day game all that much. The last Packers/Lions game, on Turkey Day, was a barn-burner. One for the history books. I'm looking for that on film if anyone has a lead.

Wow, opening night in front of a national audience for our new defense?
I think I will fly home for this game. I bet tickets just went up a hundred bucks on ebay today.

Well maybe having the Bears game at home this early will allow us to play at Chicago some time before Soldier Field turns into mush.
