This rivalry
means much more to these fans than what meets the eye. Since 1921 the Chicago
Bears have lead the series 93-90-6 which is extremely close for a rivalry
that's been going on for more than 90 years. With two of the largest names in
the NFL battling it out at least twice in the regular season, Aaron Rogers in
slowly putting the Green Bay Packers back on top. On the other hand Jay Cutler
is slowly running the organization into the ground. Back in the 1970s and the
early 1980s the Bears just dominated the rivalry. Players like William
"The Fridge" Perry and Walter Payton were such dominate players, the
Packers just couldn't preform in the draft like the Bears did. Now that Aaron
Rogers is Quarterback he's now 11-4 all-time against the Bears. The only
Quarterback to have a better record against Chicago is Brett Favre.
As we saw in the
season opener we didn't know what to expect, with Chicago being 5-11 and the
Packers being 13-5 last season. Both teams kept the game very close, which was
very surprising. Even with the Packers not having Star Wide Receiver Jordy
Nelson they still ended up pulling out the win. Surprising as it is, the Bears
were the first to score with a field goal. It wasn't until the end of the first
quarter that Green Bay finally scored. After a lot of back and forth play in
the Second quarter is when the game was all tied up again at 10-10. The game
didn't get interesting until the 3rd and 4th quarter, when the Packers started
to rack-up the points against the Bears. Once Green Bay got on a roll Chicago
couldn't stop them. Every time the Packers scored the Bears came right back
with either a touchdown or a field goal, but the Bears just couldn't keep up
with them.
This was the
first game of the season for both teams. As everyone knows, first games never
go well and this game was no different. But who knows, maybe one of them could
be Superbowl champions. But until next time...
For Wesley.
For Wesley.
