Well, Mike “ESPN 8 – The Ocho” Glennon wasted no time in chunking this one. It took him less than ocho minutes, and less than ocho plays, to hand GB the lead in the Bears-Packers rivalry for the first time in ocho decades. The Bears led the series from inception (1921) until 1930, won it back again in 1933, and then dominated for 60 years. After going on a 30-9 run in the 1940’s and 50’s, our lead peaked at 24 games in 1960, and again in 1992 after Bret Fahrvergnügen lost his series debut. But since then, GB has gone 38-13. And as of Thursday night, our run is over. After a franchise-worst 3-13 season last year, this has to be rock bottom. And so I have to ask – how much worse could Trubisky really make us?
We’re considering some new nicknames for Ocho: Hot Potato,
Fumble Knees, Janeane Giraffalo, or Giraffe-Face McTurnover
