I think The Queens will be better this year too. I wonder how the A. Peterson thing will end up? That could still be a distraction.

The Vikings may be the surprise team this coming season. Bridgewater will have grown more into his QB position, and I believe that Peterson will return with a vengeance. They will have another season before their new stadium will be ready, but sometimes adversity builds better competitors. Not a team to be overlooked this season. [mad]

I like Chicago's new GM and coach but the previous regime left quite a mess to clean up. It will be interesting to see what they do in the draft. If they take a QB early, I'm pretty sure this is Cutler's last year with the team.

When some started sniffing around Eliot, he got a promotion and probably a few $200 stock certificates...LOL.

In NO, they could have created a position to promote him to like Director of General Management of College Scouting Player Personnel and Uniform Inventory and Medical Treatment Dispensement or DGMCSPPUIMTD for short. Instead, they said good luck in Chicago.

Let us never forget what "The Godfather" taught us. "Keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer."

Knowing the NFL North's teams also lends more facts and credibility to this forums post.
It is for that and many other reasons that we should keep up with what "they" are doing.

It is for just those reasons that I started this thread. It can help us to better know the division opponents and thereby elevate this forums post in the future.

Knowledge is always a good thing. I therefor invite all to please post your knowledge to this thread.

:cheers: :study: :computer:

The Bears suck, the Lions suck the vikings suck the Packers will win despite Ted Thompson sucking. That should about cover it right. How much credibility did I just add? Lots I bet.

Pedantic point:
The "Keep friends close, and enemies even closer" quote is far older than the Godfather.

Where it comes from is not clear, but it had already been attributed to Sun Tzu and/or Petrarch and/or Machiavelli for hundreds of years when Mario Puzo wrote the Godfather.

Minnesota was a lot tougher this year and they had another good draft. I think they are a playoff team this year. I think Detroit will step back with the loss of Bush, Suh and Fairly and without doing much to help their O-Line.

The Bears will improve a lot but their talent level is still so thin they will take a year or two to really be competitive.

The schedule all around is tough this year...

Packers 11-5
Vikings 10-6
Lions 9-7
Bears 7-9

Peterson will return (IMO) looking to prove that again he is the big dog RB in the NFL. Their Defense should look improved also. They will compete this season as not seen for many a season. 🤬

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
