Prediction: NFCN crown will be determined by OLs.

As I was sitting here, annoyed that Moss is back with the VIkes, I got to thinking. Well, they may have Moss, but they still have issues with their OL.

Just like everyone else in the North.

Personally, I think the Bears are just pretenders. They don't just have a sucky OL, they have questions at QB and and underwhelming group of receivers.

And while I think the Lions are improved, they simply haven't got enough pieces yet to be a serious contender for the division.

Which leaves the Packers and VIkings. And here we have:

Packers edge at QB and Vikings edge at RB. Both now have multiple receiving threats. Both have real defenses.

Which leaves the OL. Both have questions. Each has one stud: Hutchinson, Sitton. Each has four other players that school is out on yet.

Whoever's OL is strongest over the course of the year will win the division.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I will agree with you.

And I'll posit that once you factor in depth (e.g. if Cliffy goes down we have Bulaga - if McKinnie goes down they've got... who?), Green Bay has the better line.

But it's mighty close.

I think are Oline has improved and is a little better than the vikings just because one thing less sacks.Now im not saying that we are a good Offensive line but definitlty a little better starting out.The best Offensive Line guys we got are Wells and Sittin and arguably Could be Bulaga thats one of the best even thoe he is not starting.The thing that needs to get better is run blocking and penalties.

As much as I'm not a fan of our current OL, it's definitely better than what the Vikings have. I've watched both teams this year. Our OL needs work. Theirs sucks.

Our OL IMO would probably be better if we actually used the LT in games that is at practice every day.

Not sold on the Packers having a "real" defense. Not after all these injuries.

No kidding, our defense is suspect at best. Get Al Harris back and prove that we've got some solid safety play and I'll be satisfied.

Not including the Lions (sorry Lions fans, hugs?), do we really have the best OL in the NFC North? That's, well, sad.

(winning because the other 2 suck more than we do)

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

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

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

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