March 31, 200817 yr comment_34799 Works for me! I'm hoping for a game at Soldier Field in week 2. I'll be in US on vacation then and plan to go to Chicago! Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34800 I'd say it's decent odds if we're on the road in week 1! And if not, hit one of the many bars and watch the game with a ton of Bears fans in Chicago! Works for me!

March 31, 200817 yr comment_34804 I am about as excited about that game as I was seeing we had to play at San Diego last year. Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34805 No! (We'll be kicking off to them...) But, I would say yes if theya re kicking to us. I think there's this odd pride thing that'll get in the way! (I hope...) Question is, will they kickoff to hester to start the game? Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34806 Is that a good thing? I hope the result is much better! Having been at that SD game in person, it was pretty darn disappointing. Here's hoping for much better! I am about as excited about that game as I was seeing we had to play at San Diego last year. Report

March 31, 200817 yr comment_34809 I don't mind an away game in Indy because it will have a lot of Bears fans. Also, I would rather catch the Colts early when they are rusty compared to later in the season. Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34810 If we lose, I just hope it's not a massacre for the whole nation to watch. Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34814 You're probably right...but given that it's the first game and would be first kick to him of the season, I could see them potentially testing the waters... Probably just a pipe-dream! I just hope if they don't we can capitalize on the good field position! I dont think Dungy is gonna let his pride get in the way of kicking to Hester after the Super Bowl.

March 31, 200817 yr comment_34815 Good point... Steal one early... I don't mind an away game in Indy because it will have a lot of Bears fans. Also, I would rather catch the Colts early when they are rusty compared to later in the season. Report
March 31, 200817 yr comment_34816 Let's open the kool aid keg before the season starts! We could catch them by surprise... If we lose, I just hope it's not a massacre for the whole nation to watch. Report
April 1, 200817 yr comment_34817 Good point... Steal one early... I dunno. It seems Indy has started out like 8-0 for the past 5 seasons. I dont think they will be very rusty because they pretty much have all the same players every year. Us on the other hand... Report
April 1, 200817 yr comment_34819 Well, in all fairness you're right. Odss are we will get our butt's handed to us. The Bears need to prove otherwise, or else we best assume history will just repeat itself. I dunno. It seems Indy has started out like 8-0 for the past 5 seasons.

April 1, 200817 yr comment_34822 I think we all know what holds the key to victory in week 1.... ....How deep into the game Mike Brown last before he gets injured Report
April 1, 200817 yr comment_34826 Honestly...is there one other guy on the team that seems to be the complete barometer of its success? Kind of interesting and sad... Urlacher is close...but it really seems like the presence of Brown dictates the team's success or failure.

Urlacher is close...but it really seems like the presence of Brown dictates the team's success or failure. Like you said Urlacher is just as valuable. I honestly think Mike Brown is one of the best players in the NFL and if he could have stayed healthy he might have gone down as one of the biggest game changers in terms of presence of all time.
