You have no idea what you are talking about.

 

do tell.

 

Why do I hate the Packers? Because thats how my father brought me up . Why does he hate them? It's what his father brought him up to do.

 

Why do Bears fans in general hate the Packers, i.e. when did the formations of the rivalry begin? Some would say it started back in 1924 when a Bears player and a Packers player were ejected for fighting on the field. The teams never liked each other. George Halas was famous for his disdain of the Packers. It has nothing to do with teams being in the same division for a long time. And it has nothing to do with the Packers being better more often, considering the Bears hold the all time head to head record. That 1941 playoff game that everyone is mentioning, was held in Chicago and drew 43,000 people. The next week the Bears played the Giants in Chicago for the championship and it drew 14,000. It's a rivalry fueled by hate that has been around since they started playing each other

ok.

 

the video posted was a video of two packer cheap shots from the 1980s and was prefaced with the phrase: "for the kids, who dont know why we hate the packers:" i don't think that two cheap shots are the reason that bears fans hate the packers. but technically you're right, if you weren't born in the chicago area and raised as a bears fan then you probably would not hate the packers. unless you were born in minnesota and raised as a vikings fan.

 

also, i never said anything about the packers being better more often, you apparently made that up from what i posted.

Sorry, let me rephrase: What's the point of posting this other than inciting pointless arguments?

 

really?

 

have you read this thread? its as if the mods at NSBB did the Mardi Gras thing and turned their eyes away

 

besides, I watch that and I still get pissed off. I watched those plays live. granted, I was little, they had a big impact. [expletive] the packers.

"technically"? do some [expletive] research before you decide to insert yourself in a decades-old rivalry and pretend to know what should constitute a rivalry and why anyone should care regardless of the fact you have zero investment.

Truffle, you said the Packers are "usually good" which I somehow took as "better than the Bears". Sorry if that was not what you meant. I thought you were suggesting an inferiority complex for the reason bears fans hate gb, which is not at all true.

you're the one posting a video of something that happened 25 years ago as "why we hate the packers."

 

here are some other really big rivalries in football:

-eagles vs cowboys

-eagles vs giants

-cowboys vs giants

-cowboys vs redskins

-cowboys vs everyone else in the nfl that has been around a long time

-giants vs jets

-vikings vs bears

-vikings vs packers

-49ers vs rams

-dolphins vs jets

-patriots vs jets

-colts vs patriots i guess

-bengals vs browns

-steelers vs browns

-steelers vs ravens

-steelers vs eagles

-broncos vs raiders

-chiefs vs raiders

-chiefs vs broncos

-chiefs vs rams

 

you may notice that most of these teams:

-play in the same division

-have playing football for a really long time

-have been facing each other at least once a year, and in many cases twice a year, for decades now

-have been good enough to contend for divisions, such that the games against divisional opponents take on added importance.

-are geographically close to each other.

 

from what i could decipher of your psychotic ranting, you seem to think that i'm saying this shouldn't constitute a rivalry and i have no idea what sort of history these teams do. they've played eleventy billion times in the past, and in many cases they have important games, like all three of them this year. i'm sure there has been lots of cheap shots and trash talk and controversy between them, but in almost every rivalry where teams have faced each other at least once a year for decades, and each team has a history of winning pretty regularly, there ends up being a big rivalry.

no i just meant that the packers tend to be a good team (.559 winning percentage). same can be said for the bears (.579) and vikings (.551). to me that's the reason that those three teams have big rivalries with each other, while nobody really cares about the lions (.456).
