I think he's pretty accurate on his analysis of the team and the rest of the division. I don't know how credible he is but it's nice to see right now.

The Green Bay Packers will win the NFC North.

OK, its early, but thats the feeling I have.

Call me a homer, if you want. (Ive been a Packers fan since Green Bay lost to Steve Young and the San Francisco 49ers in the Jerry Rice fumble/non-fumble playoff game).

Sure, the Minnesota Vikings might be a hot pick, especially if (when?) Brett Favre signs with them. They have a strong offensive line, one of the best tackle tandems in the league, one of the top defensive ends, arguably the No. 1 running back, a decent receiving corpswhat isnt there to like?

Peterson has had injury problems in the past, though, they could be missing their tackles (Kevin Williams and Pat Williams) for the first four games of the year, and how much does Favre really have left if he does come back? He wont be asked to win games, but he sure didnt look great at the tail end of last year.

What is there to like with Green Bay then?

Aaron Rodgers should be given a longer leash this year. Some felt he held himself back to be more of a system quarterback instead of letting his own personality take over. He was the anti-Favre, so to speak. This A-Rod makes good decisions, and he has enough arm strength to make all the throws hes asked to do. He also answered the injury question by playing through a shoulder injury last year and making some impressive throws

Aaron Rodgers will have more freedom to take over

Much was made of his inability to win a game in the fourth quarter last year, but that falls as much on the defense as it does on Rodgers. The defense couldnt hold a late lead against the Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings (twice, though one is on Mason Crosby), Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.

The Packers have the best receiving corps in the division, maybe even the conference. They have a solid running back (Ryan Grant) and another who I feel should be better this year than in the past two (Brandon Jackson).

Their switch to a 3-4 defensive alignment is an obvious obstacle; I dont feel it will be that bad, though. They plan on mixing in both 3-4 and 4-3 packages so they wont be making the switch fullstop. They have a safety (Anthony Smith) with experience to help the younger guys (Nick Collins and Atari Bigby) with their duties as playcallers in the defense. They also have a solid linebacking corps, boosted by the addition of Clay Matthews. B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett (700-plus pounds combined) in the middle of the field should occupy plenty of blockers when they are on the field together, too.

In addition, any struggles likely would come in the first half as they are sorting out any problems on defense. Well, their first game comes against the Chicago Bears (not exactly an offensive powerhouse, even with Jay Cutler behind center); the next against the mighty Cincinnati Bengals and then the St. Louis Rams.

They have a big test against Minnesota (Im already sick of hearing the Rodgers vs. Favre storylines leading into that one) in Week 4, but then they have two weeks to prepare for the Detroit Lions (shudder) and the Cleveland Browns. By then, I expect most of their problems in the shift to be worked out, at least the major ones.

Lets not forget, either, they have one of the top cornerback tandems in the league (though Al Harris might struggle with the zone; hes a far better man-to-man CB).

It is still way too early to make any firm predictions, but at this point, Im happy with what the Packers have done (or not done). At this point, I think they come away with the division title, but as I said, its still early. What do you think? Vikings? Packers? Bears? Do the Lions have a shot?

So if i write on a blog i will be a good source? Seeing this blogger can't get facts straight since when did we lose twice to the vikings? We have the best wr group in the conference gimmie a break i say maybe the 3rd best behind Arizona and New Orleans. But i guess it's nice to see a Packer fan is picking his team to win the division :p



I got a kick out of him with his expert opinion specially about the Lions and his shudder he must have forgotten the Lions were beating us last year till late picks cost them the game. The Bengals have back a healthy Palmer and the Browns wiped out the Giants last year so you can't take anyone lightly.

But he atleast admits he has his homer glasses on.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Arizona, I agree with. They have two just dominating players and a 3rd stringer who could be a starter on a lot of teams, but the Saints? Can you even tell me who's the starter opposite of Colston? Or are you including TEs and RBs as well? In that case, I'd up them a bit, but Shockey has done nothing in the last couple of years and Bush is nothign more than a receiver, you'd think that defenses see him like that as well now.

Although I do agree with you. He does have homer glasses on. I'd say that we're the underdogs now. On paper, the Vikings just have a better team to me. More stand-out players, mainly. I think we might surprise some people, though.

The Detroit Lions where trailing us by a small amount after Crosby kicked that FG in. That's when the pick-fest began. We where leading at that point, not the other way around.

The Bengals have a mediocre RB, O-line and everything on defense except for their LBs. They will be better than last year, but I don't think that they're better than us.

The Browns are all over the place. I don't know what expect from them. With their current roster, though, I think we should be able to beat them as well.
