The Greatest Inter-Conference rivalry of All-Time, bar-none! More superior than Det/Clev 1950s, more superior than Pit/Dal 1970s. Bears & Redskins were 4-4 overall against each other in that '37-thru-'43 span, and 2-2 vs each other in League Championship Games.
Thoughts on this very rivalry during this given time-period? Who do you think is better between Luckman and Baugh? Strictly at QB, that is. Where do you all place Flaherty among All-TIme Great NFL HCs, etc?

The Bears had the better teams but Luckman was the better QB. Baugh was the better defender and all-around player. Baugh never had receivers as good as Kavanaugh or Benton.
