Packers/Bears is probably the best, oldest rivalry in sports, but the Viqueens will always hold a special place in the heart of my bottom.

I loathe those purple pansies.

We're gonna stomp them, whether or not Numbnuts plays.
Packers 31, 'Queens 17.

And Justin Harrell is going to be a big part of that win.
Just a feeling...

"brnt247"How would the Vikings be a bigger rival than the Bears? I understand it can change depending on the year and which teams are good, but the Bears are better and historically have been our biggest rival, in fact probably the biggest rivalry in football.

ever seen cowboys / redskins games ? or bengals / steelers (whatever the teams record is at the time) now thats a rivalry

Umm, yes indeed I have. Bengals/Steelers isn't even that big of a rivalry and the Boys/Skins although it is a big rival between two large fan bases, the games aren't usually as built up as Bears/Packers games are.

This thread would normally be infested with our border friends who normally find their way in here by now. I'm finding it curiously quite from those guys.

I hope that one guy who was absolutely convinced J Allen had made the Vikes the best defense in the NFL didn't hurt himself after Da Bears put 48 up last week.

Nah.
I'm sure he's fine.
The Vikings fans have become pretty adept at quickly and nimbly jumping off the bandwagon about this time every year.
And he won't hurt himself when he jumps back on in July either.

I see this as a "must win" if we want a realistic shot at winning the division.
If we win this week, and the Bears lose to the Titans, we are tied with the Bears going into the game with them, and it would put the Queens into the rear view mirror (where they belong).
If we lose, we will be behind the Queenies and in trouble.
These next 2 weeks will be critical in my view.

Agreed Cheesey, our season rests on the outcome of these next 2 games.

"dingus"Agreed Cheesey, our season rests on the outcome of these next 2 games.

Yup....otherwise we may be in too big of a hole to climb out of this late in the year.
We NEED to take our destiny in our own hands. It's a 3 way race, with the Bears a LITTLE ahead. Time to start whipping some arse!!!!

Since I'm stuck in Minnesota for the time being, the Vikings have become my defacto number one rival.

I think it's clear the next two games define the season. GB has a chance to take control of the division if they win the next two games or they could pretty much end their season if they lose their next two games. It's make or break right now.

With that said, I think GB is a lot better than Minnesota. I thought they were even at the beginning of the year, but top to bottom, GB is better in my opinion.

Contain Peterson on defense and throw the ball on offense.

last sunday was the first time i've seen the packers not stack the line giving pretty boy maximum protection on most plays (idiots) and he got creamed a few times
hopefully you
make the same mistake again ,
