May . . . the Lions win one game. Naw, never gonna happen.

I actually hope the Lions do much better next season. I'm tired of the NFC North being the laughingstock of the league. Sure, winning the division every other year or so is nice, but I'd rather see some better competition. When was the last time every team in the NFC North had a winning record. Has it ever happened? Was there ever a year in which every team in the NFC Central had a winning record? The NFC South, NFC East and AFC East -- now there are some exciting divisions!
So my primary wish for 2009 is a renaissance of the old Black and Blue Division. I want to see some smash-mouth football that causes other divisions to shake in their boots. Even if it means the Packers win the division less often, it will make the division titles that much more satisfying for me.
The corollary to this wish is I'd like to see two or three teams from the North make the playoffs in one season. That would be some thrilling football.
What are your NFC North wishes for 2009?
