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. 🤬

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
