Heck, maybe even beat the Steelers in the race for #6 in 2008 (we end up drafting Aaron Rogers, fire Mooch in 2006, and hire then-OC Mike McCarthy as HC).

BUT who cares about 'what ifs' anymore, we're back where we need to be.

Good point.

Was just a retro thread since Eddie D is back in the picture.

Things are fine the way they are now.
