We didn't learn many things from the Packers' 41-25 demolition of the Bears on Sunday night. 
We did learn that Mitchell Trubisky should've stayed another year in college and his time in Chicago along with his head coach are on borrowed time.
We did learn that Aaron Rodgers has mastered the play-action so well that he could teach his own class. I don't care if it's a play-action bootleg — which seems to work every single time — a mysterious dropback play-action or even a play-action out of the shotgun. I don't care how you slice it, Rodgers is a maestro from the play-action and the reason it works is because the offensive line has been nothing short of fantastic with only nine pressures allowed on Rodgers this season. 
But most of all, we learned that the Bears are a yawn. This is no longer a rivalry. That may come as a shock to the system to a lot of you, because this is the oldest series in the NFL with 201 total meetings. However, the Packers have owned the Bears since 2008 with a remarkable 19-5 regular season record — 20-5, if you want to count the 2010 NFC Championship Game.
The Packers have had three head coaches since 2008: Mike McCarthy, Joe Philbin and now Matt LaFleur. The Bears are on their fourth head coach and Matt Nagy is now on thin ice after Chicago got out to a 5-1 record before losing the next five in a row. 
"Yesterday was flat-out embarrassing and our guys know it," said Nagy on Monday. "I'm not telling you something they don't know. They know it."
Do they? The Bears came into the game with a top 10 defense and were de-clawed to the point where NBC analyst Tony Dungy said, "That is the Bears' defense, basically giving up here," after Jamaal Williams rambled 13 yards past a plethora of missed tackles en route to a touchdown late in the third quarter. Now that is one of the biggest offenses a person can endure. Being called a quitter — on national television no less — is a punch to the gut that makes your pride turn into rubble. 
What is celebrated as two of the iconic franchises in football and two of the most recognizable brands in all of sports, the game has turned into leftovers. And it's all because the Bears have failed to get a worthwhile quarterback. Since 2008, the Bears have started Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, Jay Cutler, Tod Collins, Caleb Hanie, Josh McCown, Jason Campbell, Jimmy Clausen, Matt Barkley, Brian Hoyer, Mitchell Trubisky, Mike Glennon, Chase Daniel and Nick Foles. Conversely, the Packers have started Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Scott Tolzien, Seneca Wallace and Brett Hundley.
But it isn't just quarterback. It's coaching, player evaluation and player development. This game used to be something that you just couldn't miss. Now it has turned into a three quarter game that has the look of a preseason contest by the fourth quarter. 
Doesn't exactly sound like a rivalry does it?
