Looking at the NFL Schedules when they were released earlier in the year, The BLUEUDUE SAID," Man with all this parity throughout the league there will be a lot of tough games every week". Then I started looking by Division and first the AFC North, then the NFC North. The Packers started off with @ Philly and in Lambeau vs Bills. The Bears had Lions at Soldier and then The Cowboys in Big D. Week 3 had the Pack in Chi City playing the Bears on Monday Night.

Looking at it back then I said the Monsters Of the Midway will probably be at best 1-1 with a hard earned win vs an ever improving Lions Team. The Pack I knew would be 2-0 with that Offense and Dom Capers improving 3-4 with emerging star LB Clay Matthews Jr. (Sr. was a stud at USC and A fixture at LB in the Original Dawg Pound in Cleveland Municipal. Uncle Bruce manned center for the Houston Oilers and then Memphis/Tennessee Titans for years and one of the all-time greats at center ever).

This brings me to September 24, 2010 on a somewhat rainy and cloudy day in the Chi. The buzz around the Chicago land Area now is the 2k10 Monsters of the Midway have a legitimate shot at beating the Packers Monday Night after beating the Cowboys a a good tilt in Texas last week. There are many story lines in this one as this rivalry goes back into time with some of the best ever to play like:

Nitschke, Starr, SWEETNESS, THE KANSAS COMET, DITKA, ADDERLEY, DAVIS, BUTKUS, HALAS, LOMBARDI, AND MANY MORE.

In what to look for Monday Night in SOLDIER FIELD:

1. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and the best receiving core in the game against a Bears secondary that is gaining a Little bit of an identity as well as an edge to them. The Bears must put pressure on Rodgers and The Pack to force them to run more without the services of RB Ryan Grant. Bears improved front 7 could be a huge factor in this one led by rejuvenated LB Urlacher and newly acquired DE Julius Peppers.

2. Can Bears Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz prepare a scheme for the Pack Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers 3-4 with explosive Hybrid LB/DE CLAY MATTHEWS JR.. Bears have to keep The Pack D guessing an off rhythm.

3. Can the Bears new found wide receiving core of Hester, Knox, Aromashadou, Bennett, and Davis, get to the Corners and Safeties of the Packers led by surefire future HOF Corner and reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson. If Cutler gets time the Bears sure have enough speed to get deep and Martz passing game is all over the field. I suggest a lot of 9 routes(GO Routes/Deep Routes)with Hester and Knox and let Bennett, Aromashadou, and Olsen man the middle and if this happens The Packers will be in Trouble.

4. Bears Coach Lovie Smith knows the importance of winning against Dallas and the Packers for his Teams' mindset and even his own tenure as the Bears Head Coach. He and the Bears made a huge statement last week in Big D and if they pull this one off they will be in the drivers seat with a huge December up and coming with homes games vs Pats and Jets and away games at Vikes and Packers.

5. If the Packers win this one it will confirm what a lot of people in the know around the NFL have already confirmed," THE PACKERS AS WELL AS THE SAINTS ARE THE TEAMS ATOP OF THE NFC PLAIN AND SIMPLE". For the Packers it is imperative to send the Bears and the division one message," IT GOES THROUGH THE FROZEN TUNDRA IN 2010-2011 PERIOD"

At the start of the season this game was a no-brainer. Now going into Monday Night Week 3 its a Pick'em.

BLUEDUDE'S WINNER: DA BEARS in a good old-fashioned PACK AND MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY BRAWL
