A week ago everyone on this forum was ecstatic that we beat the Bears, won the NFCN and just slipped into the play-offs.
One monday later and everyone is let down by the SF loss.
Of course you always play hard, play to win and all of that, but in hindsight, on the long run... I'm not really sure who won out in week 17.
Again, you always play hard, you can't predict what happens in the play-offs and you don't throw games, but we did give up 7 picks to one of our biggest rivals.
The difference between the 14th and the 21st pick is drafting a guy like Kouandjio, Nix or Hage or not getting any of those guys and falling into a part of the draft where there's no d-lineman worthy of a pick and a lot of OTs you have to take a gamble on like Sherrod or guys with lower ceilings like Bulaga.
What's the point of my story? Nothing big, really. Just that the Bears, in hindsight, won in week 17.
