[QUOTE="bigbubbatd, post: 846144, member: 10784"] 1/4 of the way of the season the North has no teams below .500. What are people's take on the division? Here are my initial thoughts 1. There isnt a great team. There is a great defense in Chicago but they are far from a great team. 2. It is offensively challenged. Not a single team has over 100 points so far. Detroit actually has the most points but they have played easily the worst defenses. 3. Minnesota is the disappointment so far. Their offense if from the 1950s. That will win them some games because their defense is very good but it is hard for me to see them beating really good teams. The pass protection is still going to hold them back. Cousins is average at best and their kicking game isnt good. 4. Detroit or GB are the surprise teams. The Lions are a couple plays away from being 4-0. So are the Packers. Both teams obviously have question marks but I think each fan base would have been happy with their records if you asked them a month ago. 5. Home field advantage in the NFC wont come from this division. It is too deep. Doubt any team goes better than 4-2 in the division and our non-conference schedule including the Chiefs, Chargers, Eagles, Cowboys and others isnt easy. 6. Strictly speaking the Packers are in the drivers seat being the only team with a road win. At the same time it is hard for me to see them winning the division. Their run defense scares me. I think the offense will has started to come around but man do they need another wr. I think Chicago is still the favorite but their next 6 games are very tough. Raiders in London isnt hard but then Saints, Chargers, Eagles, Lions, and Rams. You would think 4-2 would be a solid run. If they stumble I think the door opens up for other teams. [/QUOTE]
