The official NFL schedule isn’t announced ’til Weds 8PM EA
So I was musing which opponents I’d like the Bears to face for their opener. Here’s a few

@ Philly. Thurs Night coronation. If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best. This will be like when Rocky wanted to fight Drago in Russia
 
 vs DET. Yeah, I know, div opponents normally don’t play ea other ‘til late season, but c’mon now. BJ and the Loins are already trash talking ea other. This might be too enticing to pass for the opener 
 
@ Wash. Caleb-v-Daniels will always be a thing. Let’s just hope it’s an Elway-v-Marino thing and not a Ken O’Brien-v-Marino thing. What better way to exorcise Flus’ fail-Mary than this? Christen a new regime! Be awesome if the Pope attends and Bears win with their own Hail Mary. The internet would explode
 
Home-v-Steelers. It’s Aaron “Darkness” Rodgers. Need I say more? 
 
‘C’mon Butch, gimme an easy “4” at closing time! ‘

Butch pulls out ole faded Roledex… 
Well, dealer’s choice:  
Home-v-Gmen, Browns or Saints

Opening up against a ‘weak’ opponent def has its perks – namely, building confidence and a winning culture from game 1 [theoretically]

However, we’ve seen dogs score major upsets in week 1. Last year the Pats beat the Bengals at Cincy 16-10. How many lost mula on that one?

I know the 9ers ended up playing with a backup bust QB in a monsoon; still, they were heavily favored and on paper shoulda beat the Bears week 1 in ’22

Sometimes those big dogs aren’t ready for the chihuahua bite!

So who you want as Bears’ opener?
