Opener of 1980 Won 12-6 in OT. Marcol would later admit that he was high on cocaine during this game.

AR - 218 (98 games)
Favre - 214 (120)
Starr - 40 (47)
Dickey - 39 (28)
Stafford - 21 (10)
...way down the list...
Cutler 4 (5)
73 players have thrown 3 at Lambeau, so to break into the top 75, Fields needs 3 TD passes
NOW A TRIVIA QUESTION
What QB has the most pass attempts at Lambeau Field without a single TD Pass.
Good for Stafford getting into the top 5. Hopefully Love knocks him off quick when his time comes.
Trying to think of a crappy QB that played more than a few games. Tagge only had a few TD's. I'll take a shot in the dark they were all on the road.
"NOW A TRIVIA QUESTION

This QB started 5 games and played in 8 at Lambeau. 165 attempts over those games.
Well, not Tagge then. Doesn't seem like it would be a Bears QB. That's too many games unless it was someone before McMahon.

Blair Kiel the ex Notre Dame QB? He had some pretty bad games when he got some starts late in 1990 season.
Go fuck yourself.

I was guessing 89' provided 2 of those. Forgot about the Marcol game.
Everyone always paints the 80's as the darkest days for GB. They weren't in terms of wins. Dickey, Lofton, etc. were just competitive enough to give you hope and then rip your heart out toward the end of the year when they needed to beat...whoever to sniff a wild card or the division. Even 89' ended in a heartbreaker when they didn't get into the postseason.
Fun Fact: Green Bay is tied with the most playoff wins in Soldier field since 2007.
Lewis said he could play 3 more years...
3 more of this? Yes please.
I asked Marcedes if he's ever lobbied for a target in the passing game because defenses clearly aren't expecting it...and I loved his answer. pic.twitter.com/nJx7bzJaiv

Was that the year they needed Cincy to beat MN on MNF for the last game of the season? Wasn’t it on Christmas?

Usually they don't play if placed on the list this late in the week.

This was the era that begat the Chris Berman "Bay of Pigs" description of the Tampa/Green Bay games every year. The Packers were constantly having 8-8 seasons; Berman said "the very mark of mediocrity". The Bucs were no better.
Finished 8-8 in '81; a win vs the Jets in the last game of season would've made playoffs at 9-7, but they lost big time, generating less than 100 total yards of offense.
Was lucky in '82 to win enough games to make the playoffs in that strike-shortened season,
Could've made the playoffs in '83, 8-7 entering last game of season vs the Bores, but lost. 9-7 would've put them in.
Started '84 1-7, then caught fire and finished 7-1. Unfortunately, the NFC East produced 3 9-7 teams in addition to the division winner. And had we not lost to the Loins during that 2nd half run, we owned the tiebreakers over those other 9-7 teams.
'85 was another 8-8 season, but it took a 10-6 record to make it in that year.
'86 was mostly a disaster, as I remember it. Lots of turmoil on the team, and Gregg was starting to lose favor.
'87 was Gregg's last year as HC, and was just as bad as the previous year.
Looking back, I'm sure his (brain) health had deteriorated considerably by then, but wasn't recognized for what it was at that time.
Oh, and that was the season that had another strike, and replacement players were used for 3 games.
'88 began the Infante era, and finished 4-12 that year.
'89 was a crazy season, that included drafting Mandarich, "The Cardiac Pack", "The Replay Game" vs the Bores, and the Herschel Walker trade.
Finished 10-6, tied with the Vikes for the Division Championship, but lost out on the playoffs due to tiebreakers. That was only way to make it that year, as the other playoff teams were 11-5 or better.
I think when people think of the 80s, it’s not the earlier Lynn Dickey teams but the Forrest Gregg teams and later Lindy Infante teams that were a mess. Yes, the 1989 season was decent, but I also recall a number of close wins that year and a lot of things falling into place to get to 10-6. Obviously the 1990 and 1991 seasons were horrible so you take out the 1989 season and it’s almost a decade of really bad football.
Much like the Badgers, if you look over the last 25-30 years we’ve been pretty spoiled as fans. Sure, there have been a few seasons here and there that were frustrating or disappointing, but you had hope and they had established and became recognized as winners and were competitive. The Packers franchise prior to the arrival of Harlan and Wolf and Holmgren was pretty awful, and winning was secondary as they were always looking back to the Lombardi glory days. The Badgers never really had history in their favor, although, I always found it funny that the hallmark moment was a Rose Bowl game in the 60s that they lost. Alvarez stepped in and build them into a legitimate and competitive program.

Big Willy territory.
Without Montgomery, Robinson is really the only security blanket left. And it sure as hell isn't Jimmy Graham. If they are without Hicks and Robinson, those would be big losses for the Bores.
Three big names for Bears.

To me the 80s were a mix of real dark days of 5-11 teams or a short glimmer of hope when they got to 8-8 and once to 10-6. In the Lynn Dickey years their offense was actually pretty darn good on defense not so much.
We would get glimmers of hope like Eddie Lee Ivory having a monster first half and then blowing out his knee.
Tim Lewis who we finally had a shut down corner and he hurts his neck (I think) an his career is over
They would be in the hunt for a playoff spot and then tie a game when Francis Freaking Tarkenton would scramble for what seemed like 5 minutes and then complete passes.
There were some great moments like the 89 season and beating the Bears on he Majik pass.
Quite possibly the very best moment to me was the Marcol game.
@Tschmack posted:Obviously the 1990 and 1991 seasons were horrible so you take out the 1989 season and it’s almost a decade of really bad football.
But their records during the 80's say otherwise. Timmy has a more comprehensive breakdown the post before this one. Why take out 89'? It was the highlight of the decade. Close wins are still wins. They even beat a really good SF team @SF, the year they went 14-2 and blew out DEN 55-10 in the SB.
I really think it was the heartbreak of so many seasons being literally 1 game away from a WC or the division that make memories of the 80's so "dark". And they had their share of embarrassing games. That and some of the team/FO shenanigans that did not present well.
Yes sir I saw that post and I am not dismissing 89 ok ? I agree that it was a special year and never disagreed that it was a great season and a damn fun ride. And it was pure torture watching the Vikings/Bengals game with all of my cousins from MN it was painful
I was only trying to point out that there were crappy years as well seasons like sucking in 1980 when they only won 4 games, 5 in 87, 4 in 86, and 4 in 88. Those years (and the whole decade) are why its so enjoyable to be a Packers fan now.
I thought 1986-1988 was the lowest the Packers organization had fallen to in the post-Lombardi years.
Not only did they suck on the field, they were even worse off the field. The Mossy Cade incident was one of the worst crimes an active NFL player ever committed. James Lofton and Eddie Lee Ivery got accused of sexual assault just before those years. Lofton got accused twice I believe and was shipped out of Green Bay after the 2nd accusation.
It was a horrible time to be a Packers fan. 1989 was an aberration in a terrible period from ‘86 thru ‘91.

Charles Martin incident in '86 was a low point for me. Fine to have a heated rivalry but no place in the game for that sort of thing.

Sorry, bud. I was responding to tschmack.
Screw this negative BS.
Let's remember the most epic wins over the Bears!
1. NFCC game 1/23/11 21-14 win. Unless the NFL goes insane and they change conferences up there will never be a more important win over the Bears. I was at my company Sales and Marketing Conference watching in the bar of the Marriott Anaheim. I've never been so amped/nervous/demented about a game in my life. I'm confident my father would have literally died that day if they lost. Knowing we will always be able to say we beat them, at their place, and prevented them from going to the Super Bowl? DAMN.
2. We Have A Reversal 11/5/89 14-13 win. I'm a sophomore college at Illinois, watching the game from my room on the 3rd floor of Hopkins Hall alone as all the Bears fans were in the TV room. The emotions of that play go from elation on my end and screaming from the TV room to them all trash talking me when the penalty is announced and then back to elation when the call gets reversed. Felt like surely Majik and Infante would lead them back!
3. Taken by Chester Marcol! 9/7/80 12-6 win. The glasses. The single bar facemask. A guy named Chester. High on Cocaine. Sudden Death. Craziest ending ever. I remember my Dad yelping and jumping off the couch, he still relishes this one so much.
4. The Monsoon game 10/31/94 33-6 win. I'm at my apartment in Lombard, IL watching with some friends. Torrential rain. Throw back uniforms. Favre "running" for that 36 yard TD. Sayers and Butkus getting their jerseys retired at halftime and then pour it on more in 2nd half. I always think that the game was like 30-0 at half because how dominant the Packers were, yet it was only 14-0. This game and the 49ers playoff win in 95 were the real intro to the nation that the Pack was back.
5. Epic Beatdown 11/9/14 55-14 win. I watched this on my phone from a bar in Portland. Had customer meetings during the day. Got pulled into taking them out and about. We went bar hopping and I held the phone in my lap glancing as much as I could without being a jerk. I lived through 61-7. I heard Dan friggin Jiggets and Mike North talk about it on Chicago radio every 12 minutes. 42-0 at half. To my dying breath I will be OUTRAGED that MM took the foot off the gas. Green Bay could have dropped 60-70 on them. AR could be the record holder with 8 TD passes. Easily the most dominate win against them. Should have been more.
6. COBB!!!!! 12/29/13 33-28 win. Scared the living hell out of my family when Cobb scored. Maybe the 2nd most important game in terms of playoff impact. Rodgers first game after coming back from collarbone. Winner goes to playoffs. Boykin with the crazy fumble recovery TD. Rodgers just missed getting killed by Peppers. I still think less about the Cobb score and think more about how Jordy got freaking murdered on that play and it wasn't called. Thank god we don't have to relive that missed call.
7. ON ONE LEG 9/9/18 24-23 win Watched at my place on the Oregon Coast. Kids were out at weekend, and I stayed out to get some winterizing done. And watch the Packers in peace. You go from "welp AR's hurt and season's over" to "OMG KIZER IS THE WORST ****ING QB IN THE HISTORY OF EARTH" to "well, maybe a top 3 pick is what they need" to "Randall Cobb again ripping the hearts out of the bears" to sweating out the last drive after a just insanely horrible roughing call that to this day is inexplicable. Randall Cobb - the destroyer of bears.

If he's vaccinated then he will still have a chance. I think you just have to test negative two days in a row with no symptoms. If he's not vaccinated he's out 5 days minimum.
Boy, if those three are either out or limited due to injuries, that would be HUGE.

Living in Illinois, this never gets old. Then to top it off, a Super Bowl win.
I enjoyed the Bears NFCC win more than I enjoyed the SB win. I was taught early to hate the Bears more than anything in this world.
