The waiting is over, the Chicago Bears take the field against the Atlanta Falcons in about 30 minutes. Updates and deep thoughts all game long, right here.

The Bears won the coin toss and have elected to receive. Beautiful sunny day in Chicago. The Falcons are starting two new offensive linemen. Maybe our O-line won't be the story of the day.

Devin Hester back for the KO...Trips near the 20 and falls to about the 25. Illegal formation on Atlanta, and they'll re-kick from the 30. Hester pumps the crowd and ends up near the 23 yd line

First play of 2011 is a run for a 3 yard loss. Hester gets 6 on a screen, recovering his own fumbles. Opening day jitters?

GB and NO traded touchdowns all night Thursday. Let's see if the Bears D can hold down a high powered offense.
