Thread: So poetic...

God, I feel like committing hari kari right now. Next to losing the Super Bowl to the Colts back in '07, this is the biggest punch in the gut I've felt in a long, long time.

My four biggest sports punches in the guts:

2001: Luis Gonzalez bloops home the winning run for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series against the Yankees.

2004: Red Sox come back from 0-3 deficit to beat the Yankees in the ALCS; the Red Sox then surge onward to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series to win the franchises first World Championship in 86 years.

2007: Colts take advantage of Rex Grossman's mistakes to beat the Bears in the Super Bowl.

2011: The Packers beat the Bears to get into the playoffs; the Packers beat the Bears in the NFC Championship Game; the Packers then surge and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Yea, but look at it this way... The win in that "meaningless" game is what allowed us to:

We should thank your coaching staff for being so content with 2nd seed and the NFCN title.

Actually... we had more than our fair share of LUCK as well. Most SB teams do, and we aren't any different.

Ok, my "gloating" is over.... until next year.

I still think the Bears D will hang with the Packers O, but with all the defensive players returning, they have no choice but to work on the o now. I view that as a good thing..

I would say mine are:

don't know the years, but these two are tied: Wannstedt going for two at the end and losing to the packers. Also that infamous pass Favre made with the WR riding the Bears DB into the end zone.

2001: Jim Miller getting the Charles Martin treatment by Hugh Douglas in the playoffs. Never was the same afterwards (thank you TO for beating the ***** outta him)

2003: Alex Gonzalez screwing up an obvious double play that would've put the Cubs one inning away from the WS without being down 8-3

2004: Herm Edwards screwing up on clock management, and having a crappy kicker attempt a field goal that was obviously beyond his reach against the Steelers; On the second attempt, he didn't even try to throw the ball to get closer to FG range

2006: It's obvious

2008: Cutting Chad for Brett Favre

and 2003, 2005, 2009 2010: Chad getting injured because of mediocre line play
