Chicago Bears
Proven offensive leaders

While they certainly have a lot of untapped potential on the offensive side of the ball, what they are lacking is that proven leader to help steady the ship. With WR Allen Robinson the likeliest to fill this role, the front office has treated him poorly, not wanting to pay him what he deserves through a contract extension and essentially showing that they don’t want him around for the long haul.

With both HC Matt Nagy and GM Ryan Pace entering what could be their final seasons leading this team, there likely will be more stress put on this team than usual, not a great combination heading into a year that they welcome rookie QB Justin Fields into the fold.

Fields likely will take a backseat to veteran option Andy Dalton to begin the year, but making that expected transition will not be an easy one to make, even if everyone knows it’s happening. That lack of veteran accountability certainly can be an issue for a team looking for some leadership, and it may be what holds this team back again.

Detroit Lions
Veteran offensive weapons

With Jared Goff now being the starting QB after Matthew Stafford was shipped out and Kenny Golladay having walked in free agency to the Giants, the Lions are devoid of much offensive talent to even be relevant this year.

Heading into training camp, their best offensive weapons are running back D’Andre Swift and tight end TJ Hockenson – their top wide receiver looks to be Tyrell Williams, an injury risk that has suited up for the Raiders in the past and profiles more as a WR2/3 option.

The Lions are leaning full-on into their rebuild process, so their level of competition is going to be near zero this year – but it will be hard for them to dig themselves out of this hole if their offense continues to resemble that of ragtag bunch of street free agents and unproven youngsters.

Minnesota Vikings
Secondary help

The Mackensie Alexander and Jeff Gladney experiments have not worked out for the Vikings, and even though Cameron Dantzler has some promise and Patrick Peterson was brought in this offseason, they still desperately need to have their CB unit improve.

Needing to contend with the Davante Adams and Robinson’s of the division is going to be a very tough experiment for their secondary to handle – and with how their defense has been roasted by opposing WR units in the past, things do not look like they will be changing. Regardless of who ends up being the starting QB for Green Bay this year, they will be able to pick on this MIN secondary yet again.

Honestly for all our our division, I'd say attack their OLs hard and heavy!

The Bears OL, especially that right side is clearly their weakness. Stop their run game and their passing game can't do it alone even with an improved QB... though with how mobile their 1st round pick might be, could make that tougher, but they seem to want to keep him on the bench at least to start the season.

The Lions lack deep threat weapons after losing muliple FA WRs and their new staff focusing so much on linesmen, which when they develop might be tough... but for now, they're not well enough rounded and they already stated their game plans to out muscle and out will other teams, which is especially true because they don't have the WRs to help too much.


As for Vikings, I think the article is wrong, yes the CBs we're a weakness last year but they signed Patrick Peterson, Bashaud Breeland and Mackensie Alexander to help CB. That's three potential decent starting CBs and starting S Xavier Woods. Also two starting DTs. Honestly, I'm not sure the Vikings defense has a weakness right now... or if they do it's their edge rushers. A lot might depend if DE Hunter is healthy or not.

But the Vikings team weakness has to be their pass protection combined with the inconsistent of their starting QB gets rattled.

You still have to stop the Vikings run attack first which is easier said than done, but if you can and then get some great licks on the QB, that offense can fall apart.

I see the division as a two way race between Packers and Vikings. Of course, I could be underrating the Bears and Lions, but while I think the Lions are going the right direction, I'm not sure they have enough tools. And Bears have a major hole on the right side of their OL, with a new QB and a play caller whom too often forgets to run the ball... even when that the strength of the offense at times.
