If the Packers send the Bears back to Chicago, defeated, they’ll take over first place in the NFC North. You’ll get to dunk on Bears fans, give them their comeuppance for not knowing their place.

You’ll get to remind us this is your division. That Green Bay owns us, whether it’s Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers or Jordan Love under center. You’ll get to mock us, mercilessly, for two whole weeks. Then, you’ll have to do it again, but in Chicago this time.

See, that’s the thing, Green Bay, you need to beat the Bears twice to control your own destiny in the division, we only have to win once.

So, yeah, if you win on Sunday, it’ll hurt us. They always hurt. But, the thing is, we’re Bears fans. We’ve got layers upon layers of scar tissue. There is nothing you can say to us that we haven’t already heard a dozen times over the last 30 years.

Well take our licks and two weeks later we’ll get a shot at redemption, in Soldier Field. I wonder, Green Bay, if you’ve considered, for a moment, the alternative?

If the Bears march into Lambeau and do to your Packers what they just did to Philly, how will you cope?

How will you cope knowing there is a new king in the North, because, make no mistake, if the Bears win in Lambeau this Sunday, they are winning the North. It won’t matter what you do. It won’t matter if you come to Chicago and win, we’ll still be ahead of you, unless you get some help. Have you considered that?

Even if the Packers win and seize control of the NFC North, it will not crush us. We’ve been down that road many, many times. We know the way back.

We will survive. But, will you?

You can put on the brave face. Pretend you’re not worried. That’s cool, confidence is admirable. But, deep down, somewhere in that part of your soul you don’t speak of in polite company, the thought has crossed your mind. What if these aren’t the same old Bears?

What if that big swing for the fences you took with Micah Parsons was all for naught, because Chicago had already trumped it last January when they hired Ben Johnson.

Face it, Green Bay, if you win you can dunk on us all you want, but nothing you say will affect us, we’ve been there, done that. But if the Bears win, your world, as you know it, crumbles to ash.

No pressure, Green Bay, none whatsoever.

Just remember,
