Vikings my ninjas

Really??!!

This after you went through all the trouble of telling everyone that Brad Johnson sucks and won't take the Vikings anywhere.

Anyways, my picks:

1) Vikings- Not because I'm a homer, but because the pieces are in place for them to be an effective short yardage team offensively. The O-Line is arguably top 5 in NFL and Tony Richardson fortifies it with his great blocking skills at FB. The defense is much stronger than in the past. They're building the team to be successful long-term, but I don't see why they can't do it this year.

2) Bears- They won't sneak up on people this year, but the offense will be better and the defense will tail off a little. Oh yeah, Brian Griese will be the starting QB by week 4 if not sooner.

3) Lions- The addition of Mike Martz as OC and Jon Kitna at QB will greatly improve the offense, but the defense is inconsistent and it is, afterall, the Lions we're talking about here.

4) Packers- Goes to show what an attention Brett Favre is by threatening retirement if the Pack didn't make any off-season moves to better the team. Guess what, they didn't and Favre is back anyway. Now comes word that he won't make a decision about next season until 2006 is in the books. Can't get enough attention, eh Brett?

The NFC North has all the makings of potentially being the worst division in the NFL this year.
The Packers are rebuilding as are the Vikings, the Lions are the Lions, and the Bears? The Bears are probably the best team in the division.
They'll be just good enough to do what they normally do: get into the Wild Card round of the playoffs and lose in spectacular fashion.

And your not? You think the Raiders are Super Bowl contenders.

No, he's just a dumbass.
Being a Raider fan on top of that just compounds and proves it.

ChiTown wins the division, if you could call it that.

I would liken it more to "handed by default" but whatever...

NFC North. Hmmm....

I'd say the best would have to be the Bucs. They are just too good.

Maybe you should just stick to basketball. Kings basketball that is.

You have a disgruntled WR during training camp.

You pass on a possible franchise QB in the draft.

Your QB is Aaron Brooks.

You ranked 27th in total Defense last year.

Go ahead and talk all the you want about the Lions but atleast I'm not saying there going to the Super Bowl. I think there'll be a lot better than last year, 9-7, mainly cause of the offense.
