Packer-Bear week used to be fun around here (1 Viewer)

From Bob McGinn:

When the Packers took the field on Halloween Night in October 1994, they trailed in the series, 82-59-6.

Since then, Green Bay has been utterly dominant. The Packers’ 37-12 record in the last 24 years has put them ahead, 96-94-6, entering the team’s 197th meeting Sunday night at Lambeau Field to kick off what the NFL labels as its 99th season.

Wait.  Are you Bill Simmons?  He just called this on his podcast.

Going to the game tomorrow night.  Love that the opening game is a night game at Lambeau.

No. Don't follow him. 

 
 The last four Bears coaches – **** Jauron, Lovie Smith, Marc Trestman and John Fox – all went back to Chicago an upset winner after their first trip to Lambeau Field. In order, their teams were underdogs by nine, eight, 10 ½ and nine points. The scores were 14-13, 21-10, 27-20 and 17-13. Now rookie coach Matt Nagy comes to town as a 7-point underdog. Look out.

The more things change. The more things stay the same.  Good game, Pack. Bears are apparently the same losers they've always been. Just with different players. 

 
Considering how insufferable Bears fans would have been today if they managed to win this game, I'm hesitant to let them off the hook with a "good game!"

But because I am magnanimous in victory--and briefly lived in the timeline where Rodgers was instantly lost for the season, during which I was physically ill--well, alright.

Just remember that when you come at the king you best not miss.

 
Was fun when we were good. Now that we suck, meh, it's ovah

Congrats Bears fans on winning the North.

Too bad GRID isn't around anymore

97–95–6

But for a bit of Packer luck at Lambeau in the first game this year, it coulda shoulda been 96-96-6 right now.

I know it was like 15 weeks ago but how was it a bit of Packer luck in week 1?

It was a highly improbable comeback win, highlighted by Fuller dropping an easy int that should have ended the game.  Ironically, the Packers may have had a better season if Rodgers streak had ended that night.

Srsly....the 2nd half of that game was the highlight of the season. It was gritty, hard nosed, electric and anything but what GB has been this year. I don’t get where the luck played in.

 
so many seasonal questions to be answered right out of the gate!

is Rodgers done?

is Trubisky a rising star?

David Montgomery the real deal? better yet, will he get the carries to prove it right away?

Cohen gonna keep getting his?

is AR12 a bum after all?

is Aaron Jones a legit RB1?

who will be the WR2 to own on the the Packs for this fantasy season?

:popcorn:

It's not as exciting these days--seems like only one of them is good at a time. Packers are in rebuilding mode and probably won't win more than five games, while the bears are the class of the NFL. This one is going to be a total blowout. I look forward to seeing them when they're evenly matched one day.

This seems a little misplaced, but yes, exciting to get a glimpse of everything else!

ETA: I realize you probably meant David Montgomery :)

:lmao: i realized this error sitting in a meeting right after I posted this and my OCD was killing me not being able to come fix it. Corrected now.

This is good content

 
Was just coming to find this thread. Should be an interesting game.  No idea how the Packers have won 10 games. They're not that good.

Honestly, it feels like smoke and mirrors to me. There's very little if any difference between the level of Packers' play this season and last.  The biggest difference is they've stayed healthy and are getting turnovers. #12 seems to care a bit more, but he's not playing much better.
