I hate the Lions!

Well the bears packers rivalry trumps anything we have going between either team so we are kind of stuck.  Not sure who outside the division we would better pair with.

Used to be the Vikings/Cowboys back in the good ole days. That's why I still hate the 'boys the most. You know, the pearson push off, etc.. These days I love watching good old Jerry squirm in his luxury box when the 'boys lose. They show it every time they play. Americas team my ass! Hard for me to hate the Lions, but I did notice a little uptick in prickish behavior, by some of the players, when they started doing better!

I would think the Saints.

I would say that whatever rivalry was there 30 years ago is irrelevant.

The Lions just might be a quality rival, albeit not a historic one, this year if they continue to ascend.

Lol,  go to Chicago or Green Bay and tell them that rivalry is irrelevant.   Eastern Wisconsin doesn't give a shit about the Vikings,  all they care about is beating the bears and winning the division,   the Vikings like the lions are just another obstacle.

Packer fans on that Twitter thread disagree.

Let me know when they start singing songs about their dislike of the Vikings.  Its not lions fans that sing "the bears still suck" from the top of their lungs.

Was going to say, they picked the two best teams and the two worst teams so the games might be competitive.

You're not on Twitter, are you? 

Maybe in the Vince Lombardi era, but over the past 30 years Vikings Packers is a way bigger rivalry than Packers Bears.  I don't even see how this is close.

Why,  do the cheese heads sing songs about the Vikings on twitter?

How many cheese heads you follow on Twitter?

All I can say is after spending  week in eastern sconni this summer,  they definitely hate the Fibs and the bears more than anything and don't really give a shit about the Vikings unless it happens to be the game that week.  Thier hatred of the bears is a year around affair for those folks.

Must be a East Wisconsin geographical oddity, because the Packers Vikings chatter is pretty constant on Twitter and I honestly don't remember Bears fans contributing to it much at all. I'm sure a lot of Packer fans still hate the Bears, but I can't imagine why. But whatevs...not like this matters more than a hill'a yeller snowballs.

I have to agree, seeing as how I've lived in southern Wisconsin for 23 years now and think I can speak with some authority on the subject, being surrounded by cheeseheads all of this time. 

When they say "Oh the Bears are who we *really* care about", they are covering for how crappy they feel because the Vikings are the team that has consistently found ways to spoil their party, despite finishing behind them most of the time in the last 30 years.   Most will admit that the Vikings are the team they hate the most, followed by the Bears.  They hate us more because we've caused them more frustration.  The Bears are simply the older rivalry, by about 40 years.  Then there are the Lions who've mostly been the Packer's doormats since the early 90's.
