Bears and Packers have only played each other twice post season. Record is currently 1-1

Considering the rivalry, that's really surprising.

It's not really that surprising, since they are in the same division. In order for them to meet in the playoffs, one has to be the division winner and the other has to have a wildcard. Then, the seeding has to work out properly. (Two wild card teams could also meet in the playoffs, but that is less likely.)

I think it's easier for two teams from different divisions in the same conference to meet on a regular basis, especially if they both regularly win their division and have a good record winning that first game at home against the wild card opponent.

Sure, but the Patriots have faced both the Jets and the Dolphins more than twice in the playoffs, and they’re in the same division. Given the historic rivalry between the Packers and Bears, I’d expect more.
