I'm still not sure why NBC decided to put this game in the biggest spotlight.  I've seen a lot of Bears/Packers game, and they are almost never what I would describe as "aesthetically pleasing football which is easy and pleasant to watch."  It's just the nature of the thing.

100 year anniversary/legacy type game. Bears/Packers is the oldest rivalry in the NFL. I guess NBC was banking on people caring.

Rodgers was still good then.

Rodgers is still good, despite what pundits might say. Go back and look at tape.

At this point in his career, he has major 3 flaws in his game; 1) throwing the ball too early, 2) not checking down on plays when it's necessary, 3) trying to make something out of nothing when it's clearly not there, far too often.

I wouldn't say most football is "aesthetically pleasing and easy and pleasant to watch."

It's a violent, physical sport.

This was classic, old school football.

IIRC he smoked y’all in last years first meeting. 

True, Cousins is better than Mitch, but this season's defense is better than last season's version.   I have a feeling next week's game will be another low scoring affair.

This is the problem. If you have a guy like Trubisky as your QB and a very strong IOL, the absolute lowest you should hit in rushing attempts is 20. 

This team is not built to throw the ball frequently, and they will find themselves losing more than winning if they try this.

I hate to pile it on but when a team moves up to the #2 spot giving up future picks for a QB you would hope that player would be more than a game manager.

I just shake my head imagining how good the Bears would be had they taken Mahomes or Watson in the draft.  Has to be torture as a fan.

I'm sure all NFC North fans will agree when I say that I thank my lucky stars that didn't happen.  They would be unstoppable.
