Thread: NFC NORTH will be a force to be reckoned with

Everyone but the Vikings. I don't see them making any noise this season. They would have been better off blowing up the team and starting over. They're going to be the new Lions for the next several seasons. The battle for #1 in the North between the Packers/Bears and possibly the Lions should be very interesting though. The Lions still haven't done anything about a very suspect defensive backfield though, which is puzzling. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see two teams from the North represented in the Playoffs again this season.

Lions still have a long way to go. They may be getting better, but they are still in the NFCN, so even with a Cake Schedule, they still have to play the Bears and Packers twice each, and Vikes will probably beat them in Minny at least.
