Broncos coach Vic Fangio is not one of them.“I had no reaction Kerrith Whyte Jersey Color Rush , really,” Fango told reporters on Thursday. “I’m only interested to see who we play the first two weeks because that’s who you’ll start planning on in the offseason. Other than that, the schedule at this point in the season is really kind of irrelevant. Where the schedule does matter sometimes is during the season you may play teams that might be missing players. That helps you. Or, you might be missing your own players. That hurts you. Or, you get a team that’s on a hot streak and you get them right in the middle of their hot streak, or you get them when they’re playing down a little bit. There’s no way to predict what’s a good schedule.”Still, one of those first two opponents is the Bears, the team for which Fangio most recently worked.“It’ll just be another game,” Fangio said. “I’m sure there’ll be a little bit of build up to it, but it will be special to go against those guys. Those guys were great players and great people. I loved being around them, but for those 60 minutes it’ll be another NFL game.”The Broncos are hoping Fangio isn’t just another coach. In this era of young offensive minds Kerrith Whyte Chicago Bears Jerseys , Fangio’s no-nonsense, old-school attitude could be exactly what Denver needs.

CDTShareTweetShareShareIf you don’t think the Bears should open the NFL’s 100th season, then you are an idiotI’m amazed that I even have to write this article.The Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers in the NFL’s 100th season opener makes the most sense from a marketing perspective, from a historical perspective, and most importantly, from a ratings perspective. This is not up for debate. I’m not even going to use this space to address the idiotic notion suggested by some that the game should be held in Green Bay; I gave my thoughts about that on Twitter.I expect dumb takes from some Packer fans, and Packer homers that cover the Green Bay Packers that are too caught up in their own delusional world to understand the big picture of the National Football League Chicago Bears Jerseys Stitched , but when a “national” publication like Sports Illustrated chimes in with something so stupid as to suggest that the Bears and Packers shouldn’t open the 100th season, I had give my take. SI’s Jimmy Traina wrote, “No disrespect whatsoever to the Packers and Bears, but this is a bad choice.” He believes that the Cleveland Browns should be the featured team on that Thursday night season opener....No disrespect whatsoever to Jimmy Trania and Sports Illustrated, but that is an idiotic choice. The Browns should be an exciting team in 2019, but from a historical standpoint, and let’s face it, the kickoff to the NFL’s 100th season is a celebration of the last 100 years, this Browns franchise isn’t even the same Browns franchise that was founded in 1946. That team moved to Baltimore. Chicago played Green Bay 52 times before the Browns played their first game in the All-America Football Conference, so historically speaking, the Browns can’t touch the Bears or the Packers.The Bears are one of two charter franchises still around today Womens Kerrith Whyte Jersey , with the other being the Arizona Cardinals (ne’ Chicago Cardinals). The Bears’ franchise started football operations as the Decatur Staleys in 1920, moved to Chicago the following year, then finally became the Bears in 1922 when the NFL was officially founded.A Bears vs. Cardinals game would have been interesting for NFL purists, but that’s not a rivalry game anyone could get behind. The Bears and Packers have played each other more than any two teams, 198 times, and the rivalry is close with Green Bay holding a slight overall edge 96-94-6 (1-1 in the postseason). While the two franchises haven’t always been good at the same time, this year’s match-up features the defending NFC North Champs against one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. The Chicago Bears playing the Green Bay Packers to open the 2019 season in Soldier Field is a no-brainer. Anyone that tries to tell you otherwise is an idiot.
