[QUOTE="Murgen, post: 332261, member: 917"] I mean, there is, but do the player really feel it? Watched the Packers-Bears from Week 17. After the final kneel down (after the pick) the Bears players started clapping and shaking hands with the Packer players, as if to say "Congratulations" on making the playoffs. After the game, lots of joking, talking, hugging, between both teams. Not to mention Rodgers joking, smiling and laughing with Bears defenders all game the first time they met. I dunno. Maybe cause the Bears had nothing to play for, they weren't pissed they lost. I just get the feeling the NFL is hyping the "Rivalry" between the teams more than there is. I'd say it's more a friendly rivalry. I remember the games between Dallas and GB in the 90s being more vicious with a lot of cheap shots (from the Dallas side). The fans I think have a bigger rivalry/hatred toward each other than the teams. Just thought I'd mention it since it was my perception of the teams at the end of the game. Maybe now that both teams are fighting for the right to go to the SB, that will change on Sunday. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
