Favre retires

It's obvious Brian doesn't keep up with free agency.

Which has changed the dynamic, how? The Bears haven't change a hell of a lot from last year, and I'm still not seeing a knight in shining armor for the Pack, given that they've now lost their biggest asset, that is going to make some cataclysmic shift in talent levels.

Grossman should have no problem adapting to new recievers. You're right.

Brian...The point isn't the Bears haven't made themselves substantially worse, it's that they were already terrible and have done nothing to address an inept offense. Congrats on re-signing Orton and Rex....too bad they will get killed standing behind the geriatric O-Line you have. You really have NO Wide Receivers, little or no running game and a defense that will lose Mike Brown by Week 2 and possibly Urlacher by the bye.

The Packers are returning the top WRs in football top to bottom, a dynamic runner, a O-Line that is young and protects very well and a D Line that is deep and good. The secondary needs help, but still will be better than average. Losing Fave can't help, but it's still the system that gets the receivers open and makes Grant a Top 5 running back next year.

When the Pack stinks, I'll say it, but objectively there is no way I'll ever believe the Bears will have a better year than GB next year.

I never said they would, however they also didn't this year and managed to hand the Pack two losses, including one of the more humiliating ones in the rivalry's recent history.

I'm not insinuating that the Bears will outperform the Packers from an overall record standpoint, but I'm having a hard time seeing how the dynamic pending for their two games against each other this season has somehow dramatically shifted to the Pack's favor when the Bears have won 5 of the last 6 when Favre was playing, and the Bears had essentially the same inept offense and the same defensive problems they will have this coming year.

Favre's retirement will change this in such a positive way that it makes the Packers mortal locks over the Bears this year, how?

The Bears are going to suck this year, just like they did last year -- but the Packers sure haven't figured out how to beat them in the past three or four years as it is. It doesn't seem unrealistic to think that Favre leaving knocks them down a notch, and knocking them down a notch from already being incapable of beating the Bears bodes well for the Bears in what will be two of the only games that matter for anything this year for Chicago fans.
