"Sunday starts the latest chapter in the NFL’s oldest rivalry."

Lets hope it will continue to be continuation of last 30 years.

GPG!

This 'rivalry' talk was a topic on 'The Game' the other day.

Lets be honest...this rivalry has been mostly non existent since the 80's.

But now, since Rodgers is gone, apparently it's a thing again.
The reality is, most, if not all of the Packers players, weren't even born while there was a rivalry.
I mean, even LaFleur was only 7 years old when the Charles Martin thing happened.

I don't know about a 'rivalry'. I think it's more accurate to say they've had rivalry, history.
*************
I remember, back in 2010 lore, the only thing you heard from Bear fans were that the Bears led the series wins against the Packers. We used to hear that ad nauseum.
Until they lost that too. Since then, crickets.

I don't expect that to change soon, i have faith the Packers will beat the 3-14 Bears team, and their 27th, and 28th rankings in defense, and offense tomorrow afternoon.

Regardless that the Bears have a franchise RB in Justin Fields.

Probably shouldn't have glossed over the 1963 season or the 6TDs in half by Rodgers.

Judging Love by chapters to determine a answer.-
Is poppy cock.
Love must be judged on;
Accuracy,Vision, arm strength, pocket awareness,
intelligence, and leadership,
And if he can do all those things.
He will be judged on his Stats.
But it all starts with winning.
FACT: The more chances he gets.
The better he will be.

"A New Era in the Packers Bears Rivalry Starts Sunday"

So since Brett Favre was the starter and then through AR12's dominance the Packers have been 46-15.
LOL...Hell, that's no rivalry, that's just a plain ole fashioned ass whooping on a consistent basis.
The Bears will ALWAYS suck!

Oh shit, am I starting to write my comments like Stockholder?

A great read, Gil.

Those two 1962 games vs the Bears are almost beyond belief!

The Packers Defense forced 12 turnovers! Jim Taylor ran for 250 years and 7 touchdowns. The Pack outscored the Bears 87-7. Plus, the '62 Bears were not a bad team...a 9-5 record. Two losses compliments of Vince's Men. Bears only lost to 3 other teams that season...49ers, Lions and Giants...by a total of 17 points!

The 1962 13-1 Packers were the best ever in my opinion. Veteran team with a Coach who had achieved excellence as a coach. Beat the 12-2 Giants at Yankee Stadium. That must have been quite the day for Lombardi...ex Giants Offensive Coordinator and Brooklyn born.

I was at the Instant Replay game (15 yard line), south end zone where it happened. I was sitting next to a Bear fan. We both had fun on that play. He was a good sport.

Does the Bears Organization still label that game illegitimate?

I really haven't felt an intensity in the Bears/Packers games in a long time. The Packers have truly dominated the annual series since Favre took over as the Packers starting QB. I feel a much more intent dislike for the Vikings and they are the team that I hate for the Packers to lose to the most. The Lions are somewhere in between but they have also been irrelevant for a long time. Maybe that is beginning to change now.

This Packers team should go 4-2 in their division this season. Sweep the Bears and split with the Vikings and Lions. It all begins tomorrow and we'll see how it goes.

I think that rivalries have been diminished by the fact that in the free agent era the players realize that they could be playing with the alleged rival by the next season. Numerous Packer players have been signed by their divisional foes during the free agent era. I think when you have former team mates and friends on the opposing team it mitigates the intensity or the hatred that you feel towards the opponent. The players are all in it together regardless of which team they play for.

Back in the day the Packers and Bears players did not like each other and I don't think they would ever want to go over to the "enemy". For the most part players were essentially owned by the team which drafted them. Unless they were traded they were either Packers or Bears for their entire careers. Free agency has changed all of that and players will sign with the highest bidder when they reach free agent status in their career. Even if that means signing with a formerly hated rival. Thanks, Since '61

The heydays of this rivalry were in the 1930's and early 1940's. Otherwise it's been streaky over the course of time. Of particular interest was the 1932 season, where the first game ended in a scoreless tie, the second was won 2-0 by the Packers on a blocked punt, and the third won by the Bears 9-0. From the very limited information I was able to gather about these contests, it seems they more resembled outdoor brawls than football games.

""""I still own you"......I hated that moment because it should have been "We still own you", but it wasn't. I have come to see that as an iconic moment that symbolizes the way give Rodgers way too much credit for what the team has done for him. We owned the Bears before him, we owned the Bears when he was out injured, and we'll own the Bears after him. I hated that he made this about him,and not the team.

It's obvious the big weapon is Fields running. Edges have to contain, not just pressure, and we should play zone coverage so that our DBs don't have to turn their backs on Fields. And a spy, of course, like Walker maybe. Contain and pressure with 4, cover with 6, keep one guy as a spy.

The Bears were there from the start of the league, but the Vikings were born in 1061. I always disliked the Bears, but in more recent years, I've grown to hate the Vikings. It's a very good year when we beat them both.

Packers have won 12 of the last 17 division titles. Vikes 3, Bears 2.
