It will be interesting to see how we do against the NFC-W teams later this season. It is a tough division regardless of individual records. I think the NFC-N teams are better (overall) than the AFC-E.

Top to bottom the races are closer which mean they are tougher. If Det had been what they were thought to be this year it'd be a hands down yes. But since they are back to the doormat that they always seem to be it's hard to say it's the toughest div.
Our Top(Chi/GB) are better then anyone elses top though.

I think it is us or the NFCW, for sure. NFC is dominant this year, overwhelmingly beating the AFC in interconference play 21-9.
NFCN has scored a total of 646 points and only allowed 514, for a differential of +132. The largest differential of any division in football. Overall record 16-10 (.615). Combined 10-2 @ home(.833), 6-8 away(.429). Combined 11-7 in Conference (.611) and 5-3 against the AFC (.625).
NFCW has scored a total of 535 points and only allowed 465, for a differential of +70. Overal record 16-12 (.571). Combined 12-3 @ home(.800), 4-9 away(.308). Combined 11-10 in Conference (.524) and 5-2 against the AFC (.714).
Other stats of note:
Both AFC West and NFC West have tied for the lowest amount of points scored as a division, 535. The NFCW has played 4 more games though.
AFCE has scored the most points @ 667, followed by the NFCN @ 646 (AFCE has played one more game than NFCN).
NFCN has given up the least amount of points @ 514, followed by the NFCS @ 575 (NFCN has played 2 MORE games).
NFCE has the best combined road record @ 7-7, followed by the NFCN and AFCE @ 6-8.
No Team has given up less point than the Bears @ 78, followed by SF @ 100 (SF has played 1 more game, but averages 14.29 PA/game vs. Chi 13 PA/game).

Given what I just posted, I think its safe to say the NFCN is the strongest division in football right now.

Yes and it was last year too.

If you take the last place team out of every division the Top 3 teams in the NFCN have the best win lose records in the NFL. Hell our top 2 teams have a better win lose record then all of the AFCW together.

Not really Ric. Minny is a hell of a lot better than we thought, and Detroit is worse than we thought. They kinda switched places

There's 3 teams in the NFCN right now that have very LEGIT playoff aspirations. In fact, all 3 have legit shots to win the division (and I don't mean winning it at 8-8 or 9-7 like happens in other divisions) although I expect Minny to fade out of that battle.
I can't think of any other division in football where you can say there's 3 true playoff caliber teams with a straight face.
