Do you believe that the bears can repeat as NFC North Champions. What is their downfall? Thank you

No, James, I don't think they'll repeat. Not only do I have the Packers winning that division, I have the Lions ranked ahead of them as well. Their biggest weakness is offensive line, and I'm not convinced that Jay Cutler is a QB that can win on a regular basis.

Seriously, i think the Lions will be the biggest threat to the Packers this season.
They were improving alot last season.

The Lions are definitely getting better, but I feel like everyone is over-hyping them still. Their biggest weakness may also be offensive line, and unlike the Bears they don't sign anyone to do anything about it.

I also have the Packers winning the division, but I expect the Bears to probably finish second (as much as it pains me to say it).

He seems ready to be the guy for the Lions, but they don't protect him. The term injury-prone is thrown around a lot, but I'm not even sure it is appropriate on the grounds of him not getting a very good opportunity. I'm guessing that when his body can't take anymore football his young replacement will admired by fans while he fades from memory.

The Bares Oline sucks too, but so does their coaching. The Lions were robbed of both games against the Bares last year. Chicago was not as good as their record and Detroit was much better than their record.

I like the Lions because of their defense. Their front four is going to make most OLs look awful. Plus, offensively, they were productive last season. They have holes up front, but no more than the 09 Packers had heading into that year.

I agree with the original post. The Packers will win the North, but I think the Lions surpass the Bears. Chicago overachieved last year for a number of reasons. They'll come back down to reality. I believe the Lions and Packers rivalry is going to heat up this decade. These are the two best young teams in the division. I suspect we get a taste of it this year.

Nick Fairley has the potential to make a good D-Line look elite. I'll be worried when the Packers face them this coming year.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (18h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (19h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (19h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (19h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (23h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
