What did the Bear Victory cost the Pack?

[The Shadow]

Whatever the draft cost, beating the Bears is always worth it, IMO.

Could not have said it better!

[b bulldog]

It's those two and than everyone else. Any big time European players or other foreign players that could be the number three pick?

[Brohm]

With the QB play of the Bears that day, we would have had to start our third stringers to lose.

[Brando19]

Beating the Bears = Brett Favre back for another year.

[Guiness]

I'm sure Brando's getting tired of explaining what he meant, and people ignoring his question, but also put me squarely with the 'any cost is worth beating the Bears'.

I've always maintained that. The confidence gained from the wins far outweighs any possible slightly better player we might get.

The day the team plays to lose is the day I stop watching. This applies to any level of competion.

The main difference between picking 12th or 16th is that the Packers will be picking 16th on every round instead of 12th.

They won't.

They will pick
15th in Round 2
14th in Round 3
13th in Round 4
20th in Round 5
19th in Round 6
18th in Round 7

[Iron Mike]

High first-round draft picks don't always equal success for the Packers.....e.g., 1981--Rich Campbell, 1987--Brent Fullwood, 1989 Tony Mandarich, 1992 T-Buck, 1996 John Michels, 1999 Antuan Edwards, 2004 Ahmad Carroll.

I'd rather pound the Bears into submission. :P

I can't believe I am even responding to this garbage!

HA, just kidding. But beating the BEARS is always better then gaining draft position. ALWAYS!

Beating the Bears = #1 priority
Winning the Superbowl = #2
Winning the North = #3
Beating the Vikings = #4
Kicking the Lions while their down = #5

[gureski]

I prefer to look at the Rams and Saints games and see how the team lost a playoff spot because of two blown games that the team should've won.

[BallHawk]

I may be mistaken, but wasn't it the Bears game that really opened Favre's eyes and made him realize that he couldn't walk away just yet?

Perhaps if we don't win that game, Favre retires?

I'm sure Brando's getting tired of explaining what he meant, and people ignoring his question, but also put me squarely with the 'any cost is worth beating the Bears'.

Huh?

[MJZiggy]

Brando, I think he meant Hurleyfan.

[Partial]

Probably cost them a shot at Carriker and Patrick Thrillis

[Brando19]

Brando, I think he meant Hurleyfan.

Okay, thank you. I read that and was a bit puzzled at first.
