CHICAGO BEARS 2009 SCHEDULE

The NFL finally released their schedules today, and the internet is buzzing. The Bears have been given five prime time games this year. Wow the Jay Cutler effect is in full force huh? And our first two games are sick. We start the season off at Green Bay, and then we get the Super Bowl Champions here for our home opener. Should be fun, can't wait.

I won't be really making any predictions right now until I see what we do in the draft and during the rest of the off season, but as of now, I am really liking our overall schedule. Yes we have two hard games right off of the bat, but if we can win those, things should be smooth sailing from there. I also like the fact that we play the Steelers and Cardinals at home, and the Niners as our Thursday game. Let's see how it pans out.
