Could anyone have predicted the NFC North being this bad? The Bears just lost to the Seahawks at home, the Vikings are 1-3, the Packers are 3-3, the Lions record should even be better.

Thats why this loss against the Dolphins is not the end of the world. We win next week and we forgot about the losses against the Dolphins and the Redskins. We'd be 4-3 with a win against the Vikings, who would be 1-5 or 2-4.

Its wide open, we get a bit healthier (e.g., getting Matthews back) and we'll be fine I think. We're not a SB team at all at this point but then again who is right now?

As long as we're on the 'i never thought i'd say this' theme, I agree that the packers are in a position to win the division...but is that really a good thing?

Set your expectations low, and you'll never be dissapointed - unfortunately I didn't abide by that this year, and consequently it's very difficult for me to get excited for whatever the outcome may be since I have little hope that this team can, at the least, make the NFC Champ game, something I was hoping they'd accomplish just a few short weeks ago.
