I was going to rank most dispiriting bears losses to the packers but it's pretty obviously the NFC champ game that led to their only title.

What's the packers most dispiriting loss to the Bears? HOF qb legend night where Rodgers couldn't score from first and goal somehow? The ghost of walter payton blocked fg game? 26-0 to open the '06 season?

I feel like this game is the only time the Bears have ever done one of those bullshit comebacks where you trudge down and kick a FG against helpless defenses

Which loss to the Packers is the most dispiriting one? The next one.

This one will suck because we're finally liberated from the Hall of Fame quarterbacks but it won't matter since the team sucks.

Even if the Bears are bad they should be fun to watch until Fields suffers a career ending injury behind whatever it is they're doing on the offensive line.

the bears will never be fun, you could put the entire kansas city offense on this team and they'd still throw for 167 yards and be good only in years when their linebackers score 15 touchdowns.

Sir, I'm going to need to see your ticket.
If Fields suffers a career ending injury, chances are the Bears are bad enough they just go and get a new QB at the top of the draft.

Which there's a non-zero chance of the Bears doing even if Fields makes it through the season.

I dunno. Worst loss to the pack would be the last game of the season in 2010. If we won, they were out of the playoffs. It was just a lovely lack of effort game.

Wasn't that the game where everyone was dragging Cutler afterwards for not playing hurt, only for it come out that he literally had torn something in his knee?

No I think he's talking about the regular season week 17 game, which was absolutely tightly contested. That game was straight up playoff atmosphere and the Bears kept their starters playing all game when they had absolutely nothing to gain from it past kicking the Packers out of the playoffs. The defense was smothering the Packers offense for most of the game, and if I remember right the game wasn't decided until late in the fourth quarter.

Neither offense clicked, both defenses got to feast. It was cold as balls, windy which made it colder, and a late game which means the temperature cratered as soon as the sun went down about halfway through the second quarter. It was absolutely miserable and yet one of the games I look back on most memorably.

And then the Packers kept losing home games in the cold after that and the whole cold weather team mystique kinda went up in a poof of smoke. I mean, who's afraid to go to lambeau in the playoffs anymore... :(

There were definitely meatball fans that dragged Cutler for not finishing the nfc championship game on a torn acl because he was standing on the sideline.

Just looked up the "total value" of Dexter's rookie contract on Spotrac and 15% of it comes to $1,008,559.20. And again, that's just his second round rookie contract.

Elly de la Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds signed a similar contract. It’s really lovely, but I’m not sure what’s illegal about it. It’s like a really awful loan.

Thank god all NFL players spent at least a year in college, meaning they were accepted to an institution based on educational merit.

I got a hearty chuckle today realizing that 10% of the NFL considers keeping the Packers out of the playoffs at least as good as making it to the postseason.
