A few paragraphs on things going forward: If this game accomplished anything, it was a massive self-inflicted "Fatality" on any hopes that the Bears can be a surprise playoff team in the second half. The Vikings and the Packers both lost, but the Bears looked like they might've just descended to 34th in the NFL Power Rankings. There's no question that getting the higher draft pick is more beneficial, but keep in mind that the players, who have no guarantee that they'll even be around to benefit from it or that could actually lose their jobs to these draft picks, would never go along with that kind of thing.
