AustinFromBoston Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’d say they’re more like The Lions. They have the talent to succeed, but always end up underachieving & wasting said talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I like the Bengals comparison better. The Lions have 1 playoff win in the Super Bowl era. The Bears and Bengals have some super bowl appearances, which yeah might as well have been 100 years ago, but it's more than the Lions can say. The Bears have 1985 and have occasionally won a playoff game, which keeps them from any Lions comparisons. But overall the Bengals and Bears last 30 seasons are more comparable with tiny bursts of competitiveness surrounded by long stretches of irrelevancy. Also they both lose to their "rival" all the time, which includes heartbreaking playoff losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I asked my buddy, who’s a huge Packers fan, The last time he remembers the Bears beating the Packers. He then said something that doesn’t sound at all right, but it could be true. He said he can’t remember the Bears beating the Packers since I was a senior in high school in 2006(!) That can’t be right, can it? On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can’t be right, can it? According to the Chicago Tribune, the last time the Bears beat the Packers was Dec. 16, 2018, so not quite 2006, but it must really feel like it. In the 2010s, the Bears beat the Packers a total of 4 times in 21 meetings. The Packers have been curbstomping the Bears for about 10 years now and it's not gonna stop anytime soon. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 They beat the Packers in 2014 or 2015 when Rodgers broke his collarbone. It's rare but it's not Michigan beating Ohio State rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there twice to watch the Packers play, and love the area near the Stadium and Rock Hall of Fame. I can vouch for these two statements. I've been to Cleveland a few times myself. The "cold dreary desolate" trope is media-created. (True, some parts of Cleveland are desolate--like, oh, say, Glenville), but overall the city has (or had-haven't been in over a year) something of an eclectic vibe to it. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, to be fair, the way Kroenke handled things kinda left that as the obvious conclusion. Sure, the move may have sucked, but Kroenke's "burn everything and salt the earth" approach really didn't endear him to Missouri at all, especially when he's named after a pair of legendary players in the region. It's the same reason Minnesotans still curse and swear whenever Norm Green is brought up, or Browns fans still detest Art Modell. And without a team of their own to build rivalries with, naturally they're kinda left in a holding pattern where the only team they can hate is the one that skipped town most recently.

The Kansas City Chiefs of Kansas City, MISSOURI would like to say hello. I get what you're saying. I would've thought Missouri would have hated the Raiders or Broncos.

There’s >6M people in the Phila region, and I doubt any of them think twice about the Ravens. I guess the Philly vote was split between the Giants, Cowboys, and.... Eagles.
