The NFL does not need to schedule important divisional matches in Week 1 to ‘spark’ interest in a new season. But, what’s done is done, so let’s focus on what will dominate focus tonight: Bears QB Jay Cutler taking on Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.
With Rodgers now an entrenched starting QB, I feel that he is actually ahead of Cutler. This is especially so early in the season. Coming out of the fair-weather Pac-10, Rodgers is an excellent fast-track quarterback. His opening month last season was something special. Cutler is a prototype pocket passer, but dropping from 8-5 to 8-8 and elimination must pose a question over his leadership abilities.
There have already been some disastrous home opener losses today: Carolina and Tampa Bay headline those. I think that the Packers will be too good at scrimmage. For the Bears to win, turnovers and special teams will need to work in their favour.
