The only real answer is because it was the Bears.

I never considered the Bears our main rival. For me, it was always the Vikes.

The end game is what fires me up. To think we could get change fires me up more than making playoffs and losing. This win isn't a bridge to either end game I desire...change or a Championship, so no excitement on my end.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in Southern Wisky especially the southeast part or if you live in IL anywhere, the bares are the real rival and the vickies are 2nd.

LOL. That's great ^^^^^^^^^

The team didn't quit on MM. That's good and bad. Not sure which applies more.

I lived in Chicago, and also on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border, on Wisconsin side. The Bears were never more than a throw away line: the oldest rivals in football. Never really meant much to me save for when Majik beat them on a review play that still bothers some of them to this day.

The game at the Metrodome was always the biggest one of the year for me growing up. Nobody can determine for you who the biggest rival is...you determine that for yourself, and for me, it is was and always will be Minnesota. Beating the Bears is probably like beating Detroit for a lot of you. Now, had the Packers beaten Minnesota yesterday I would've derived some pleasure from that because of my youth and how much that used to mean. You didn't show up to school on Monday if your team lost. Those were some pretty serious times of youth. 🙂 An old Vikings fan buddy of mine sent me a video with his son all dressed in purple mocking the Packers in their loss in Minnesota this year. He got a real kick out of hammering me all these years later even bringing his boy into it! Good stuff. So, I guess I understand why it means something to some of you, I just don't have any real hatred for Chicago. Not a fan, obviously, but they do for me what Detroit does...nothing.

Minnesota and Dallas are the two teams along with Seattle that are the most fun for me to see the Packers beat.

I don't care how ugly it is or how many draft positions it ultimately costs us, I will never not be happy about a win over the Bears or Vikings.
