I'm surprised this isn't being talked about more.
Right now : Bears 93 wins
Packers 93 wins
6 ties
For the first time in my life (which is an absurdly long one), the Pack has the chance to eclipse the hated Dumpsters of the Midway.
YOWZAH!!!!

I was just about to look that up. Packers better not have a repeat of the last time they played the Bears on a Thursday Night...

Unless they get the tackle position shored up, I am extremely apprehensive.
Who Knows? The Shadow knows!
Inspired by a serious doubt that Shadow had never witnessed the Packers with a series lead, I looked it up. Unless Shadow is 94, he never has. As usual, I was probably wrong.
Packers versus Bears by the numbers:
I just ran this out on Excel, so there may be any number of bad formula errors in here:
(all decades run from 0-9 - I don't care if there is not a year 0)
Best Packer Decade: 2010's at 12-3 so far (best complete decade is 1960s at 15-5)
Best Bear Decade: 1940s at 16-4 (the 50s were almost as good and salted away the lead for the rest of the century 14-5-1
Last time tied (beside today at 94-94-6): September 24, 1933, 11 wins 11 losses (Packers lost this game)
Biggest lead in series Packers: 11 wins to 9 losses (1932), or 55%
Biggest lead in series Bears by total wins: 24, twice, in Oct 25, 1992 and Sept 25, 1960 (Packers surprisingly competitive in the 1980s = 7-11, considering the Ditka years.
Biggest lead in series by percentage: 65.8% 1958 and 1960
^ The Bear percentage lead was higher in the 20s, but I counted series totals only after the last tie-1933). With the small sample size, Bears lead series by 100% until their 4th game in 1925 (after first Packer win, series was 1-3). Bears in 1927 (7-1 against Packers) had next highest win% was 87.5. All downhill for the next 90 years wth a few bumps after that.
My chart contained the two playoff games. Of course the teams are 1-1 there.
If average calculates how I think it does, the all time series average score is 17-17.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
All time points, with playoffs:
3335 to 3331 (Packers lead)

Tonight TNF is featuring Episode 193 of the Oldest Rivalry in the NFL.
This Rubber Match is HUGE !
The Packers OL will most likely be missing both starting Tackles.
Good News! Randall Cobb is expected to return and this hopefully will be a boost for Aaron Rodgers.
This Bears team is more than decent right now. They have a solid Running Game on 'O' and an excellent front Seven on ' D '. That as a fact Vs The Packers OL patched together as we'll see it...... is intriguing.
At this time the Packers are favoured by 7 Points.
How will the Pckers win !? I want to see a lot of Quick Huddle Offense.
GO PACK GO !

good job pbmax.
Thanks for the good work.
Nice to have the shoe on the other foot for the first time in 84 years
To add insult to insult: The loss dropped the Bears below .500 in the all-time series against the Packers for the first time since 1932. Virginia McCaskey, 94, was 9 then.
Who Knows? The Shadow knows!
1933 was the year my 84 year old Dad was born.
In the 80's and 90's and even into the oughts I didn't think I'd see this day.
And I was feeling kind of bad about the utter domination over the last 20+ years until that cheap shot last night.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

The Shadow, a reincarnated Roman legion or gladiator (maybe Highlander), traveling through time before finally landing as a modern day Packer fan/human resource director/Army Reserve Colonel is a TV show I would watch.
