Uh, between the two they own 21 NFL championships. Both teams were playing (and winning championships) well before the Super Bowl. That's like grading a test halfway through. The only patch of time where at least one of them wasn't competitive was the 70s.

The Bears and Packers won most of their titles when there were 10 teams in the league. And two of them were the Cardinals and Lions.

So by your standard is Harvard/Yale the best college football rivalry?

Also, the Bears/Packers is a regional rivalry. Cowboys are America's team. Redskins are America's capitol's team. Cowboys and Indians. Point, counterpoint. Tom Landry. George Allen. Jimmy Johnson. Joe Gibbs. Roger Staubach. Joe Theismann. Emmit Smith. John Riggins. The triplets. The fun bunch. Dallas cheerleaders. Hail to the Redskins.

The Bears/Packers is just an excuse to sell bratwurst to people with moustaches....and their husbands.

I'm just messing with Scrum. Bears/Packers is a good one, I just don't think it has the national appeal of Cowboys/Redskins. Until Favre came along, the Cowboys were America's team. You loved them or hated them. The Redskins were that one team that had a long history of fighting back against that mystique. I mean, the Rams and Vikings did to some extent, especially in the 70s. Then the Giants, Eagles and Packers and then the 49ers took the baton for a while. But through it all, the one team Cowboys fans hated losing to was Washington.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i presented this in another thread. he throws better to the out breaking routes the wr run, but almost nothing to the inside. that is half the options on a wr route tree. How do you run an offense like that?  even the outbreaking routes he throws are moonballs, that allow the DBs to catch up unless the wr is wide open. he has to throw with a lot of anticipation becuase he doesnt have the arm strenght to get it there if he is a little late. thats probably why you see balls behind the wrs.
