As of now, I agree. First order of business is just to get to the playoffs, and winning the NFC North is the only sure way to do it. I think things are shaping up well for that to happen, unless the defense performance in NO was a foreshadow of what to expect in the second half. I don't expect a great defense, but I am hopeful it will be better than what we saw in NO.
I'll worry about the playoffs if and when it becomes clear that GB will be there
