Packers could easily double dip in FA and the draft. Grab a FA CB and Pass Rusher, then take those same positions in the first 3 rounds.

They did precisely that with signing Xavier, then drafting Javon Bullard in the 2nd. Signed Josh Jacob’s , then took Marshan Lloyd in the 3rd

Yep! I'd double up, again, if I were Gute. Draft the best player at CB or WR or Edge/OLB and look for a FA fit at each position.

Yes all those plays happened before the Bostick bungle and any of those plays could’ve avoided it

The worst play was the Burnett interception. I understand not wanting to risk a fumble, but even if Burnett runs diagonally to the sideline to get out of bounds, he picks up 20 more yards before anyone is near him.

Also, all 5 Seahawks skill players were out the play and the only guys he had to deal with were the 5 offensive lineman and Russell Wilson. If Peppers just turns around and blocks the one offensive lineman, Burnett probably scores. Still inexplicable over 9 years later. At least Bostick, for his idiocy in not following what they'd been coached to do, was trying to make a play.

Yeah, this one rankles me the most, even more than idiot Bostick. It was a Pick Six. Burnett would have stiffarmed Russ.

Nine years ago, I was doing some house repairs and accidentally hit my thumb with the hammer.  Didn't break my thumb, but it was pretty useless for about two months.  And it hurt like hell!!

This morning, for no apparent reason, I decided to hit my thumb again with a hammer.

It's become a regular self flagellation ritual here to revisit that game.  People just can't help themselves.  I think we all still have demons from that afternoon that still need letting.

When all you've got is a hammer, (and four empty cans of beer), everything looks like a nail.
