Packers or Cubs - whose choke was worse?

[MC63]

No longer will I have to put up with sneering, cacklling, arrogant Packer fans.

Sunday's loss was a debacle perhaps as bad as the Cubs against the Marlins. Or, was it worse?

Five outs and a three run lead away from the World Series or four minutes and twelve points from the Super Bowl?

Has the Pack become the Cubs of the NFL?

That's a tough one, in a way. If it is just yesterday's game and game six on the 2003 playoffs, an argument can be made for both. But if we are talking about the big picture then i have to say the Cubs loss in the 2003 playoffs was far worse. Most people remember game six in that playoff. But the Cubs scored four runs in the first inning at home in game one of that playoff and ended up losing that game 9-8. We all know about game six. But the Cubs were also winning game seven and lost that one too.

Let's not forget the 1984 Cubs Padres series when the Cubs had a two games to none lead when they played the best of five. The Cubs did have the lead in game four and went on to lose. But they had a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth in game five and they had their ace on the hill. They pissed that game and series away.

But a good thread on your part. If we are talking one game I have to say yesterday's loss was worse. In baseball both teams get a chance to bat. In football you can get the ball back after scoring and Seattle did that.

First let me say that I am a loyal Packer fan. Have been one since the 67 Ice Bowl. The bears cutting up their 85 Super Bowl team, firing Dikta, trading McMahon, etc...has only driven that allegiance deeper.

That being said, yesterday's choke was far worse. Controlled 57 minutes of the game and lost it in 4.

So many plays went bad; blown assignments, missed blocks, etc...It was almost surreal.
