A Seattle station confused Peyton Manning with Gary Payton. Man, someone at that station is extremely out of touch with sports LOL

The Bears lost their last six of seven versus the Packers, with this SNF college football-esque trouncing hot off the presses being the latest. I get that it's the historical football "Granddaddy of Rivalries" and has the "Large fanbase vs Large City etc, but IMO the rivalry in recent years is very overrated from a competitive standpoint, and it should not be featured on SNF until the Bears are any good. I'm sure that my rant will fall on deaf ears, and we will see ten more consecutive SNF/MNF games between these two....

It goes in waves.

There were many years when the Bears were crushing the Packers in the Gregg era where some Packer fans were happy some games were played in Milwaukee.  Then there is the game after Walter Payton's death, the Bears were a woeful 3-5, but Madden convinced CBS brass that he and Summerall should make the trip to the frozen tundra. (They did) and the Bears won on a blocked FG.

For how many years did the grounds staff at Lambeau mysteriously forget to mow the grass the week before Walter Payton and the Bears show up? League rules forbid this now, but it adds to the rivalry stories.

The Bears used to destroy the Packers in the Red Grange era and in the 40's and 50's. The Packers turned it around in the 60's in the Lombardi era.

It is an old rivalry and while I agree some of the competitive aspects of the game are lacking these days, its a great reminder to those in this world of commercialized football that somethings outlast the hype.

The Acme Packers vs the Decatur Staleys (later Bears) started off a great rivalry between two working class cities.

Yeah the score hurts, but it is a rivalry worth noting. Someday in the future, the score could be reversed.

In 1985 it was the Fridge running over Cumby on MNF. Tonight it was Rodgers racking up 6 on the woeful Bears D.

Many coaches careers were "saved" on both sides because while they lost the season, they beat their rivals.

The Bears got badly beat by the Patriots last week, but getting crushed by the Packers will put more careers in jeopardy than a win loss record. Make no bones about it.

And I enjoy every second of the Bears pain...

Front page of Chicago Tribune was asking for Trestman's dismissal.

High levels of investment on the offense at the expense of the defense is partly to blame.

While I am both a Jags fan and a Bears fan, i can excuse some defensive lapses by the Jags. They are young.

But the mental breakdowns I saw last night by the Bears D was off the chart. Mel Tucker is their DC, but the blown coverages were mental mistakes pure and simple.

No wonder Lance Briggs announced his departure from the Bears this week at the end of the season.

Tom Brady last week, Aaron Rodgers this week. Only playing Peyron Manning next week would make it more painful.

It's an odd year for the NFL when The Bears are more of a dumpster fire (looking beyond the W/L column) than the Jags - also taking into consideration the noted turmoil of Da Bears's locker room.

I Thought the Trestman hire was odd. But as a Packer fan they can keep him and Cutler as long as they like.

Jay Cutler is Chad Henne with world class receivers to throw to.

The only mistake here is that Chad Henne has a personality.

Classic Cutler.  I should dig up some of those juicy ones he used to throw over to David Rivers when Jay was at Denver. Those two had a running single digit commentary throughout a MNF game one night. If one could read lips! Yikes.

No need.  Tumblr's got you covered:
