Well, its that time of year again! The
2009 schedule has just been released, so get your popcorn ready and take a look!
As a Bears fan, I couldn't be more excited. Our first game is against Green Pay, on Sunday Night, the premier of Jay Cutler as a Bear! We've gone through 20 or so QB's since Farve began with the pack, and our chances seem good that we've got a long term solution.
As far as expectations, anything less than the playoffs is a complete failure. Last year, we were one game away, or should I say one play away (err...stupid squib kick to Atlanta...grrr) from making it in. This year, our schedule is one of the easiest in the league. We face only 7 teams who had a winning schedule last year and 5 of those games are at home. As far as our division, each team still has its own mess to worry about. This is a huge opportunity for the Windy City after a couple years of mediocrity.
