watching favre in purple beating green bay twice, or watching them lose tonight the way they did? i'm in favor of the former.

Not even close... The former for sure.

Well it's simple. For the past few years all I have been hearing from Packer fans is about Favre interception in New Orleans and how it cost the Vikings a trip to the Super Bowl. I can tell you I won't be hearing that one anymore. At least the Vikings didn't blow a 16 point lead in the game.

The former.

I actually wanted them to beat Seattle, then lose the Super Bowl.

I'll go against the grain here and say the Seattle win over GB is better. What a finish!

But then, it's difficult for me to be fond of the Chili years, regardless who was playing QB.

Ditto, Craig. Yesterday's finish was one of the most memorable ends to a championship game that I can remember and for once, watching an NFC North/Central team blow their chance to reach the Super Bowl was actually a positive experience for me.

I woulda been more happy with the former if Favre hadn't come back and got thumped by GB the next season. I was really tickled by that stat that GB was the only team to never have beaten Brent Favre....until that second season.

That defeat yesterday was demoralizing. The onside kick...TJack at the coin toss....blowing a 16pt lead. That's even harder to take than 41-0 IMO.

I'll laugh quietly to myself for years over this one.

The scenario that involves the Vikings winning, no brainer.

This one was more satisfying for me. The fact that we had to beat them with their QB kinda taints those victories, and they're only regular season games.

Seeing them collapse on all fronts yesterday was so unbelievably satisfying. My packer fan brother has yet to respond to my text messages, it's beautiful

I cannot distinguish which is better. Any Packer misery, no matter how it manifests itself, is wonderful. I found it great this year that the Bears sucked worse than the Vikings, the Pack choked like a fat man on a piece of steak, the Cowgirls got punched in the throat, the Steelers went down, 49ers suck again, and the Lions fell short again.
To me, all of those scenarios are just peachy keen on a yearly basis.

I agree!!! That collapse and amazing plays by Seattle were just =insert superlative=. No that word is not big enough to describe what happened. No words can really capture that sequence of events. I have a friend who has been a Seahawk fan since at least 10 yrs old. He posted a congrats to Packers message on facebook. THEN !!!!!!!!! If either team had been the Vikings I would have been in the ER. Give him all we got ####CLEAR#### Zap still nothing hit him again######CLEAR##### Zap we lost this one nurse. Tell the family....OH they are still watching the game.

Seattle beating GB in the final seconds. Couldn't script it any better. Plus, I like Seattle (not even close to how I love the Vikings of course). Favre, in my book, will always be 99.9% Packer.

I'll always be find of the 09 season, even if Favre will always be a Packer. That game yesterday was fun in a vindictive way, but when WE win, it's better.

All of this.

I loved the 1999 season, the finish against SF with that rope to Greg Lewis remains the single best football moment I've ever experienced. That being said, I felt a great deal of evil pleasure watching all the rantings and ravings of the Packer fans after Sunday's defeat. It was bittersweet since I recall so much of their snark both times that it has happened to us.

My three least favorite teams right now are the Seahawks, Cowboys, and Packers. I knew Carolina wasn't going to get the job done, so I've been an anti-fan during all of the playoffs. That being said, as much as I disliked seeing the Seahawks go back to the big game, there is still no team I despise more than the Packers.

I would still rather watch us win than them lose, but when you don't have the former, the latter will do just fine.
