I won!!!!! I got to slap my jackass B-I-L around for another week. Had the bares won both games this year he would have been even more of a jerk that he normally is. In the end all I had to say is GB has been in the playoffs the last 5 years with a SB to show for themselves. HOW BOUT DEM BARES? They only made it once and GB eliminated them in one way or another 3 of the last 4 years.

Not quite sure why one Packer fan thinks he's more of a fan than another cause he doesn't entertain thoughts of what would be better in the long run?

I was pleasantly surprised with how we fought the 9ers yesterday. We were like a one legged in an ass kicking contest, and almost pulled it out. We know our team has heart, except for the Thanksgiving debacle - so now it is just a matter of making proper adjustments to the lineup.

Fair enough, my articulate friend.

I would like to, one more time, point out that I stated that this was in hindsight, after the 49ers loss and that I didn't want us to throw the game in week 17. Rodgers to Cobb was amazing and I would've loved to see us get hot in the play-offs like we did on our last SB run.

I do feel that there is quite a gap between pick 14 and 21, regardless of whether you can find some gems in the 2nd, 3rd or even the 7th round.

I have to admit that a big part of this is personal preference, as well. I'd rather watch the draft than 3 Packers games.

Part of that is because I'm not a jackass and I didn't rub it in when the Packers beat the Bears. You reap what you sow in many cases (not saying you were a JA to your B-I-L wpr but a lot of Packers fans are)

I'm kind of glad my 11 year old nephew was spending the night at a friends house though. He doesn't know the meaning of the word tact yet and I know he would have been in my face and it would have been really bad for a 280 pound 47 year old man to beat the shit out of a 80 pound 11 year old. I wouldn't have done it but believe me he would have deserved it. My 12 year old nephew is learning, at least he kind of turned his head and hid his smirk.

Much of my first response to you initial post was aimed at the latter which is where I thought you were going. Your next post cleared it up a little.

Still to anyone who wishes that the Packers would have lost to the Bears in week 17 I would simply like to reiterate the invitation I made in my response to Dakota in post #32.

While this might be true, however those same players projected in the early teens could easily fall to us.

I should have said his post seemed completely idiotic to me instead.

Seeing Cutler and the Bears cry and go home was priceless, I really don't care about when we pick in the draft.
