Bears fans : What would hurt the most ?

Not a Bears fan, but I find this question interesting. I think losing to the Packers would be worse. The Seahawks have at least proven (based on the game last week) that they have potential to do great things. Their 7-9 record went out the window once they beat the Saints. I am in no way suggesting that the Seahawks are a top tier team, but I am saying that their 7-9 record didn't matter after the playoffs started because they proved that they could turn things on at the right time. But back to the Bears, I think losing to the Packers would be worse because the Bears/Packers rivalry goes back for a long time. Rivals especially heated rivalries within divisions usually have one mission and that is to embarr the other rival. If the Packers and Bears faced in the NFC championship game, and the Packers won it would be embarring because it would mean the Packers would have beaten the Bears two straight times in one season. It would also mean that Lovie Smith's goal of "beating the Packers" was a wash. Rivalries mean so much more than losing to teams that no one thought could win. Besides the Seahawks might have been 7-9, but they are not all that bad, they are just inconsistent.
