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.
