    NFC North Predictions

    Hutchinson is a step above. His peers are Garrett, Hendrickson, Crosby, and Watt. These guys are from another universe. The Lions will be hard pressed to repeat a 15-2 regular season. 4 losses is more realistic, and they have nowhere to go but up as far as playoff performance. Dan Campbell...

    Yeah and after being dismantled by the Commanders at home in a one and done playoff, a little humility would have been wise.

    NFC North Predictions

    Great bit of history Magooch. Williams Sr wasn't wrong. Chicago was the place QBs (and HCs) went to die. In fairness, they didn't draft great QBs, and non-draft moves didn't work out either. But the Bears have been wired to self destruct for a long time - going back to Cutler sitting out the...

    Great update! Thanks HE! I wish the Packers had held onto Z. He was a great Packer, fan favorite, and he can still get after the QB. (I don't recall the circumstances behind leaving the Packers.). Clowney is in the last 25% of his career. Looks like Z still has some tread on the tires.

    Thanks for that update. I don't keep up with offseason changes for other teams. And I didn't know Z was gone. Do you know where he landed? It must be getting close for him to hang it up. The Lions will have Hutchinson back, and probably most of the defensive players who were injured for the...

    We have an 85" TV as well and it is like being in your own movie theater. And those sets are a lot more reasonable in price than 5 years ago. Looks like the NFC North is once again going to be the toughest conference in the NFL.

    Yes now that's a part of history that I like. The only change is that the NFCCG with the Bears is played at Lambeau.

    Well, there's no time quite like now to make a statement. First games for both teams so they should be relatively healthy. And each team will have its share of first-game jitters and mistakes. Even so, a home game against the Lions to start the season is a huge gift for the Packers from the...

    I really hope, and expect, that MLF will put a much greater focus on avoiding penalties this year. I don't like attributing a loss to the refs, and my intuition is that this rarely happens. The larger blame rests with the coaches and players. Even rookies need to understand how penalties are...

    NFC North Predictions

    I just don't like excuses about a season that is over. I mean it's May. It serves no purpose. As for MLF, of course he discusses wins and losses on the day of the game and on one of his TV shows the following week. Then he and the team move on, as he should, as should everyone. What is...

    That's a good summary Curly, thanks. Yeah the talent is in place. That strength is just on paper until the players live up to expectations. I agree that Jacobs and Kraft played very well for the entire 2024-2025 season. And Reed does need to get the ball more. If Golden can quickly adapt to...

    Well Gluten has certainly surrounded Love with enough talent on offense to contend for a championship. That hinges on a lot of things, including the performance of the rookie WRs, resuming the career growth for guys like Reed, Doubs, Wicks, Kraft, and possible the emergence of Musgrave as a...

    Thanks for this bio HE, much appreciated. Humble beginnings as a S&C coach for the Chiefs in 89.

    Hopefully Love proves to be as impactful to the team's success as Favre and Rodgers. After five years in the system with two as a starter, he has a lot more work to do.

    Is it time?

    I think you hit on it - the "Packer Way" to manage the cap works because of the skills and close relationship between Russ Ball, Gluten, and MLF. I don't know this for a fact but do believe it. This requires success at three levels - general management/player selection, coaching, and financial...
