1: I hope not.

2: Very possibly. He can hardly be blamed for the fact that the front office put all their faith and money in Kirk Cousins, but someone will have to pay.

3: Nope. He's one of the best ever to play the game. Despite only having one ring, He Knows Best.

4: Detroit is a train wreck that is somehow still barreling forward at full throttle. It's been doing so for years. The likelihood that one coach can not only stop the catastrophe but also turn it around in just two years is slim, to say the least.

Thankfully, we jumped out to an early lead! I don't understand the pass interference on the Vikings TD but hey, I'll take it!

Nice comment here. :) Rodgers only had 209 yards and it's obvious the offense is having some growing pains but I think they'll straighten it out. Our defense just may carry us through during the offensive struggles.
 
Packers are the best team in the division.

Vikings have more talents however Kirk Cousins is the not the answer. They could have gotten the same results with Case Keenum at half the price. With Cousins, they won't win more than 11 games unless Dalvin Cook rushes for 100 yards every game.

Bears are in the same boat as the Vikings, although their coach is worse than the Vikings coach.

Lions do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. They are intriguing although I have no idea if the players are buying into Matt Patricia's program.
 
Can't believe the Lions are undefeated!. I know, I know, they have a tie.. I thought they would be 1 and 2 at this point. They play the Chiefs this weekend, that should tell us what type of team they are.

Packers - Eagles tonight on a short week. Since in Green Bay, I think the Pack will win.. 20 to 17
 
Packers lose! Now the Bears are only one game behind. :mrgreen:
 
Yep, we lost but we played them tough, should have won the game really.. Now we go to Dallas and they didn't look good last night. Bears beat the Vikes but lost Trubisky. - Is that good or bad?

Losing Trubisky hurts them but they are a team built on defense.

If I were a Bears fan, I wouldn't worry too much:

Packers - Aaron Rodgers has notably declined. Unless he can return to 2016 Aaron Rodgers, this team is no better than a 10 win team.

Vikings - They have zero depth and Kirk Cousins is no better than a game manager. He may be slightly better than Case Keenum? Unless Cousins plays better, this team is about caps at 8-10 wins.

Lions - Should not be trusted. Sure they look like a playoff team but I am not confident the players have bought into Matt Patricia. At best they are a 10 win team but based on history, they will win 7-8 games.

The winner of the NFC North will come down to imo:

1. Who has the least injuries
2. Which QB is playing the best down the stretch

My money is on the Packers but it will probably go down the final game of the season.

I'm not sure if Rodgers has really declined yet or if it's just feeling out of place with a new coach and system. I guess we'll find out for sure during the course of the season.

Cousins is a bust for the Vikes, they should have kept Keenum.

The Bears defense is awesome. Our defense played well the first 3 games but were exposed by the Eagles. I don't see the Bears defense ever being "exposed." They'll probably win the division with the Pack possibly getting a wild card.

I'm not sure what to think about Detroit yet...
 
Keenum always felt like a fluke during our run to the NFC championship game. I'm not at all confident that he would have produced a similar season in 2018 or this year.

The Lions are shocking this year. I expected them to continue to be the basement but they are performing. We'll see if it lasts. I am skeptical it will. At the very least, they provided us the most hilarious play of week 4, where they utterly failed to keep playing until the whistle was blown. Of course, this was the play that resulted in a 100 yard, unimpeded run to the end zone by a Chief defender. Priceless.
