Cutler and Pace to the Bears....
Vikings upgrading....
What about the Pack???

We will let the games decide who wins the north, not the off season.

hope you are right....

If I had to pick right now I would say

Bears 11-5
Vikings 10-6
Packers - 6-10
Lions - really bad

I love dd80forever. Whenever I feel blue he makes me laugh. He's like Cheesey v.2.0.

---

Because we were only 2 very makeable field goals from running the table in the division right?

---

I have zero interest turning this into pissing match, sir. Sorry

---

That's funny Tro, whenever I need to laugh I look for your posts. BTW, who's the readhead?

---

I believe the Bears lost 2 games on field goals last year as well. The Vikings lost 1 I believe. "If only" is fine but if you are pointing to it siomething obviously is wrong.

I would say the NFC North would be more like

Minnesota 10-6
Chicago 9-7
Green Bay 8-8
Detroit 6-10

It's all hearsay right now though, but GB is going to probably improve. They have a reasonable schedule from the looks of it and they're also going to be much more healthy on defense. They were without several starters last season and injuries were as bad last year as 05. Capers is easily a better coach than Bob Sanders too.

The naysayers out there really should be asking whether or not 8 or 9 wins is acceptable. That's a good arguement. In fact it's one I'd side with on those who say it's not cutting it, but as far as the Packers go, they're a better team than last year. Anyone who watched them knows this. The question I wonder is how much better exactly are they.
