There are not a lot of moments in the last decade where the Chicago Bears can just laugh at what the Green Bay Packers are doing, but lately, there's been plenty of reason to do that.
Last season, the Bears won their last two matchups against the Packers by erasing double-digit deficits, including a playoff game where they trailed by 18. This offseason, Green Bay made some boneheaded decisions, including letting two of their top receivers walk and trading edge rusher Rashaun Gary away.
Well, training camp has helped add to that laughter. The Packers were first dealing with kicker issues, and now, well, the Arizona Cardinals supplied the Bears fan base with every reason to laugh hysterically.
Bears fans will enjoy hearing reports from Packers-Cardinals joint practice
The Packers did not have a good time in their joint practice with the Cardinals and may never do so again after what happened. Several reports said Arizona dominated Green Bay in every way.
"I’m going to say this bluntly - the #Cardinals are dominating the #Packers to end practice during these two-minute drills," WFRV Sports Director Kyle Malzhan said. "And having fun with it in the process going crazy on Green Bay’s home practice field."
"Packers just lost all four two-minute periods against the Cardinals," The Athletic Packers reporter Matt Schneidman said. "Both Packers’ starting and backup offenses failed to score and both Cardinals’ offenses scored TDs."

This has been everything Bears fans have been waiting to hear. The Packers won't be as good as some people think.
Green Bay's preseason has already been a mixed bag. The Packers lost by 19 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 and then somehow bounced back with a 20-point win over the Denver Broncos.
They already have a ton of concerns with Micah Parsons, who will likely miss the first month of the season, and the wide receiver room is a big question mark. Adding in the concerns with the pass rush and the kicker situation, Green Bay doesn't look like a team the Bears need to worry about.
If anything, the Detroit Lions will be the ones to worry about the most. The Lions have the easiest schedule in the NFL and still have one of the league's best offenses.

Chicago shouldn't sit back and not worry about the NFC North because there are still good teams, but the fan base shouldn't be fooled by what they already know: the Packers are overrated.
