#%@$! saying just the Packers.Originally Posted by airblaster503
Haha alright so maybe my predictions were a little to optimistic, but you guys saying the nfc north has 3 teams that would compete for a title in any other division? get real fam. Maybe the packers but not the bears or vikings. Bears don't have any weapons to utilize Cutler, the Vikings have Favre who is going to blow up and throw twice as many interceptions than touchdowns. Of course I am going to be optimistic about Detroit cause that is my team but having watched them all my life and this preseason, I really think that if Stafford can cut down on throwing interceptions they can pull together a decent season. They finally have some good linebackers in Peterson, Foote, and Simms and have a few solid saftes. Add Travis Henry at cb from Dallas and a few very quick d-ends and they have a pretty good line up to work with. Offensively they have all the weapons in place as long as the line holds up, and yes I do realize that is a big question mark, especially losing one of the starters for the season. Two of Detroits starting recievers are over 6'3 which puts them at a huge height advantage over most secondary players in the league, add in Kevin Smith who I believe will have a breakout year and there is alot of potential. Don't hate on the Lions just because they sucked last year, look more into what the team is working with. And look at last years games and see how many were very close losses. It isnt like every team completely blew the Lions up with lopsided scores.
FYI the Bears and Vikings both finished ahead of GB last season and both got a whole lot better over the offseason. The Bears have one of the best young QB/RBcombos in the L with Cutler/Forte and Cutler will make the recievers better, defense is still there trust me. And the Vikes have a great D and the best RB inthe game bar none. Im not trying to say the Packers have no shot cause they do. All im saying is there is no way the Packers are any other team in the North isdefinitley better than the other 2. And yes i think that any of those 3 teams would have at least a chance to win any other division in football (unless thePats start playing like they did 2 years ago but thats a big time IF)
