I've never seen games/videos from this era. This was not only extremely informative, extremely entertaining, but the HISTORY SHOWN IS AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THESE REAL CLASSICS! Absolutely beautiful game and a well made video! Great work sir!
Contrary to the caption, this game was played at Wrigley Field. The Bears won this one 30-27. But Green Bay went on to win the NFL championship later that season.
@@chrissmith7202 Yes, they beat the Giants 27 to zip at the Wisconsin State Fair Park for the championship. This game was 1 of the 2 the Pack lost that year, the other against the Cleveland Rams on Oct. 1. They were 9-2 during the regular season while the Bears were 8-3. Both Packer loses were by a field goal.
Funny there was a full end zone with two yards to spare on the north (left field) side of the ballpark, but the south end zone was cut off by the first-base dugout.
It's actually the Packers at the Bears. The Bears won 30-27, but I'm not sure how many of the fans could see what was going on, being so far away from the action.
The fans on the third base (west) sideline were very close. This was before the Bears started using bleachers on the right field (east) sideline, which were also close to the field.
@@orbyfan That’s probably why cookie-cutter stadiums like Three Rivers and Riverfront became all the rage in the 60s and 70s, when it became commonplace for football and baseball teams to share a home.
This is not the NFL Championship game. This is a regular season game on November 5, 1939. The Packers played the New York Giants in the NFL Championship on December 10, 1939 at State Fair park in Milwaukee, WI.
@@markmellberg9348 👍1/3rd of the Pack's first THREEPEAT. Green Bay, the only team in NFL history to win 3 consecutive championships..... and they've done it TWICE.🏈
@@Hallywood8 My apologies Hallyood8, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. I knew that Green Bay was the only NFL 3-peat winner, doing it TWICE. But obviously I incorrectly stated that it first happened in '39, '40, & '41...... instead of '29, '30, & '31. Thanks for pointing this out to me. I will delete my original incorrect comment. Thanks again!🏈😊👍
The hashmarks, like a few other things like professional football, were the brainchild of George Halas. Every NFL team should have his initials on their jerseys, not just the Bears.
Art Rooney's Steelers, who began in 1933, were still, officially, the (football) Pirates. Art asked U. of Pitt fans to watch his pro team play on Sundays. (The two teams share the same stadium at present, and a strong link between the two still exists to this day.)
Just after the bleachers built to (more or less) their current form but before the Bears started using temporary stands along the east sideline (right field)
Funny how much time they spend talking about how the pro game is just as exciting as the college game. Its clear that this was back when college football was more popular than pros.
The announers back then often spoke like bland salesmen, saying things like "you'll see that each team and each player came to win, just like in the collegiate days," as if they would play otherwise.
You have to understand that back in the day professional football wasn't viewed as highly as college. Even in 1939 they were still trying to say that pro football is just as good as college football hence the term postgraduate football

Now THIS is football!
Past football. Would be actually be boring today these are highlights
@@allensaunders449 Today is boring as hell. The good old days was football
So glad we get to see some footage of when football was true
@@robertpreston2220 it's just old fashioned football not better to watch or play let's be real

No Don Hutson in-game highlights. 5 receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown in this game
A pre WW2 NFL game on video?😮
I HAVE BEEN A BEAR FAN 65 YEARS, GOD BLESS GEORGE HALAS !!! Love the clip, I miss those great days !!!!!!!!!!
*GO BEARS!*
Knock knock... Packers won the championship this season. Go Pack Go
I'm a Packers fan but I like George Halas very much. He did a LOT for the game and should be included more among the great coaches.

I watched Post-Graduate Football just last Sunday.
I had never heard that before!
The intro is a misnomer. There was a lot of dirty play back then. And the players did not have much protection.
0:43 Barber is a 'Swedish' announcer?
Coaches wore suits, ties, fedoras, and overcoats back then. Classy.
A classic coaching matchup between Green Bay's Curly Lambeau and Chicago's George Halas.
It's actually the Packers at the Bears. The Bears won 30-27, but I'm not sure how many of the fans could see what was going on, being so far away from the action.

Fans are closer to the field here than in many modern stadiums.
The fans on the third base (west) sideline were very close. This was before the Bears started using bleachers on the right field (east) sideline, which were also close to the field.
@@johnmanier7968 Thanks for the info; it was awkward to place a football grid in a basebal park.

“Post graduate football.”
I was half expecting Larry, Curly and Moe to show up at Wrigley Field.😊
The game was at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
the hashmarks were just 45 feet from the sidelines (it is 70 now)

This is GREAT!! Absolutely loved it.

Nah it was way worse in the 30s and 40s😭

After the NFL-AFL merger, Wrigley Field wasn't big enough any more; the Bears moved to Soldier Field for good.
The two strongest teams in the NFL at the time. Green Bay went on to shut out the Giants 27-0 in the championship game a few weeks later.
Or even Packers at Bears…
So the one end zone at Wrigley wasn't quite a full 10 yrds deep?
I think (but am not sure) both end zones were 10 yards, but one of them had a truncated corner.
Correct. If you look closely you can see a barrier over the baseball dugout at one endzone corner
@@Staszu13 That's what that is, like a ramp. I've seen that in other older games, the players even running up on it after a touchdown.
Just after the bleachers built to (more or less) their current form but before the Bears started using temporary stands along the east sideline (right field)
This is not at Green Bay. It is at Wrigley Field, Chicago.
Great post. Fun to watch.
For some perspective,this game was only 2 months after Nazigermany(&USSR 2weeks later) invaded poland to set off the start of WW2.
Little error in your title . This is the Packers at the Bears. That's Wrigley Field.

Better than what we get now
And to think that NFL players stood for our great flag, back then. Plus (CHOKE), the team in D.C. happily called themselves the REDSKINS.
I, too am stuck in 2016 and let politics prevent me from enjoying things. Yay, Cancel Culture!!!
Good old days for sure!
Right now I am watching online tv with ScreenVariety. ppv events available with no extra cost.
