however, joe – i should stop my sincere giggling to correct you – it’s ‘shat.’

there are suddenly 3 teams in the nfc north that could be 11-5 this year. one that will ‘slowly collapse like a flan in a cupboard’ (anyone gets that reference without google and i’ll be surprised) in the next few years, one that will continue on playing on fake grass in purple with no qb, one whose average player age will eventually drop below 17, and… well, the lions.

i’m with whoever said that we’ll be just fine if we sign carter or holliday, draft a decent lb, and protect rodgers better this year.

And the knock on Rodgers not bring the team back in the fourth quarter is B.S. He led the team on several fourth quarter lead-claiming scoring drives. Is it his fault the defense repeatedly shit the bed?

“Cutler is decent competition” Are you guys serious? What a risible, uninformed comment.

A previous poster used the word “Favred” Let’s hope this “decent competition” hasn’t “Carved” up the Packers AND the NFC North by season’s end.

Oh, I forgot..we have Aaron (Mr. Clutch) Rodgers, ergo, we’ll win this division by Halloween.

Yeah, right.

Which team made moves to improve this off season? Don’t brush this move off as irrelevent it is a significant move to improve the Bear offense this year. This is probably a plus two to three wins for the Bears. I hate to make this prediction because I really hate the damn Bears.

Speaking of defenses, what’s the old biblical saying? Let he who has a defense cast the first stone. TT has done zip to fix the biggest hole in his team.

A-Rodg had 4000yds and 28tds last year, the secondary can lock anyone down, and if Capers 3-4 hybrid scheme improves the D front 7, they’ll be tougher than last year (4-2 in division play). Plus there’s no way the Packers lose 5 games by 3pts or less AGAIN.

Maybe the bears will have ended the Favre Curse (what is it, 29 different QBs since Favre’s first Packers start?, ouch…), but the Packers will win the division this year.

they have no receivers, Denver’s o-Line was consistently good throughout many years…the Bears’ is so-so (Pace is old), their D is aging rapidly, and they have no first rounders for two years…so I’m not worried they’ll be that much beeter (though they will be better than last year) but all that being said I am jealous that Bears fans get to be giddy.

Nothing in Packerland to be even remotely giddy about. though I would like it if the signed Vonnie Holiday. that would get my giddy up…hee-yah!
