The Bears Den: September 9, 2015

A few days ahead of the first regular season game of the year, many Chicago Bears fans are not only excited, but a little bit nervous.  To kick off the season against the undisputed NFC North champs (they've won the division four years running now, in case you'd forgotten) in front of a restless Chicago Bears crowd at Soldier Field can make even the most even-keeled person a bit edgy.

No one likes to lose the first game of the season, at home, against a division rival-- so hopefully the Bears can field a team that can at least make it a good football game.
