It's going to happen. Being almost annual contenders since the mid 90s means we've stored up at least a generation of being terrible. I've made my peace with the fact that our next 10-15 QBs at a minimum must be no better than average.

Hell, alot of fans are super eager to speed this up by wanting to get rid of Rodgers.

Jordan Love will be good.

Oh man, I forgot about Jordan Howard. I was disappointed when the Bears traded him, but god drat they were right to do so. That dudes career has been nothing but decline.

Funnily enough I recently saw a column saying the Bears should snag him from his practice squad due to the RB injuries.

Gah! I was about to say the Bears shouldn't pick up an aging RB just because he's a recognizable name. And then I check his wikipedia and he's only 26! Dude's 26 and looks completely cooked.

I think Johnson might turn out to be pretty good. The safeties as a group are probably ok, particularly if Gipson is in. I imagine the Packers are going to be able to feast on Vildor and Shelley, though. And whether due to individual mistakes or schematic issues, the Bears secondary seems to give up 1 or 2 big plays due to blown coverage each game.

It'll be win or lose by 30 with no in-between.

The last time the Bears beat the Packers by more than a touchdown was in 2007. It was the last game of the season and the Packers were resting their starters.

Every single time Rodgers plays the bears his receivers appear to have no one near them within 5 yards, it's going to be an absolute bloodbath. Davonte is going to set an NFL record.

I remember that game, Urlacher got a pick-six off Favre. After the TD, cut to commercial, and then back to the game with Urlacher on the bench with an oxygen mask. Final score 35-7.

It was windy as hell that day and when I went to work the next morning at my boss's house, two pieces of siding had blown off and landed in the backyard. One from his house and one from next door.

I feel like the only outright big win over the Packers was that first week of 2006 where rex unleashed the dragon to berrian early and then the defense shut favre out for the first time in his life

Edit hester also had a TD. The most perfect bears game, nothing but field goals and 3 yard runs besides that

I dunno. The Bears looked like a real NFL football team last week while the Packers are struggling mightily to beat some pretty bad teams. The Packers defense is awful, and the Bears D might be the real deal.

I’m not taking this one for granted based on games from ten years ago.

My one takeaway from these games is that it does not matter who is on either team because of Aaron Rodgers.

Packers defense isn't awful. They're performing very well at limiting plays of 20+ yards (2nd in the NFL at 11). The run defense is greatly improved both due to scheme and having actual ILBs. Campbell in particular has been amazing. Right now they're giving up a bit over 300 yards per game, good for 6th in the NFL (10th against the pass, 11th against the run).

The major issues have been that the corner situation is a disaster and sack numbers are low, both due to losing all-pro players for extended time as well as depth pieces. Red zone scoring has been an issue as well, but that tracked into the end of last season. Aside from the week 1 disaster by the whole team the defense has been pretty consistent.

There's no way Packers don't have a solid plan to mitigate the Bear's pass rush and take advantage of our lovely secondary. It might turn into a shoot-out but then it's an MVP QB versus our rookie behind a patchwork O-line. I hope we will put up a good fight but I like y'alls chances.

Do not fall into the trap. Everyone in Chicago falls for it at least once, but it's a trap. The Bears only beat the Packers when it doesn't matter if GB loses.

I still remember a game, I think it was a season opener, where Rodgers went out early with what I assumed at the time to be a season ending injury.

Shortly after halftime we had the "Is that Rodgers ' music?!" moment where he came out to clown what was left of Chicago's hopes and dreams.

Aaron Rodgers owns is what I'm saying here.
