NFN North Records 2009

[australianpackerbacker]

Early Prediction of the records for each team in our division for the upcoming 2009 season;

Green Bay 12-4
Minnesota 10-6
Chicago 9-7
Detroit 5-11

Thats how i see Minnesota playing it out, with or without Favre. Chicago's defence is nothing like it was 3 years ago. The Lions will improve under a new coach and GM. The Packers will win the division in a tightly contested battle.

Green Bay 11-5
Minnesota 10-6
Chicago 6-10
Detroit 4-12

Green Bay will struggle early on defense, but their offense will be as good or better than last year. If they can avoid key injuries, my gut feeling is they more than turn last year's record around.

Green Bay 10-6(Packers win NFC by beating Vikings twice)

Minnesota 10-6

Chicago 9-7

Detroit 3-13

I also agree the Packers will struggle early with their switch to a 3-4 defense but improves as the season progresses.

I predict Rodgers will have an excellent season with the Packers' offense being in the top six in the NFL.

[Pacopete4]

Vikings 10-6 wo/Favre 12-4 w/Favre (Favre will add two wins to this team)
Bears 9-7 (Cutler improves the offense, aging defense falters down stretch)
Packers 8-8 (new defense, offense great numbers/not enough results)
Lions 6-10 (very much improved, may knock one of the other division guys out of playoffs late in season)

Green Bay bounces back from a year ago, but not all the way. Look for an early bump out of the playoffs.

Chicago finds out that a QB doesn't do it all on their own. Good QB play comes as much from good teammates, a good system and good coaching.

Minnesota finds out just how much of a distraction 'ole number 4 can be. No QB play to speak of along with their usually terrible play calling and yet they are still able to win a few early. A key injury or two sinks the Viking ship mid-season.

Detroit has to realize that no amount of coaching can make up for years of ineptitude at the helm. Maybe next year?

Or maybe not...

I am expecting fast results from the Defense. Capers is known for being good out of the gate when he comes in. Both the Vikings and the Bears will have difficulty adjusting to the 3-4

[Scott Campbell]

Vikings 10-6 wo/Favre 12-4 w/Favre (Favre will add two wins to this team)

Agreed. Favre will add two wins to this team. Unfortunately they'll be in the preseason. He'll subtract 5 wins from this team in the regular season - most of the losses coming during crunch time in November and December.

[Fritz]

Chicago: 13-3 (Cutler makes the difference)
Minnesota 12-4 (Favre makes the difference)
Deetroit 8-8 (Stafford makes rookie magic)
Green Bay 5-11 (Rodgers is an average QB; defense can't adjust to 3-4)

Agreed. Favre will add two wins to this team. Unfortunately they'll be in the preseason. He'll subtract 5 wins from this team in the regular season - most of the losses coming during crunch time in November and December.

I agree. As for my prediction:

Green Bay 10-6(SLight defenseive improvement is all it will take)
Minnesota 9-7(QB and coaching still big problems)
Chicago 8-8(Culter isn't the savior Bear fans think he is)
Detroit 4-12(I'm being generous here because of Stafford)

[sheepshead]

pack 13-3
queens 11-5
lions 8-8
bears 7-9 Smith and Angelo Fired Shanahan hired

[cheesner]

Green Bay 12-4 Huge boost by their soon to be #3 defense
Minny 10-6 Still have HC and QB deficiencies. And if AP gets hurt this will turn into a dissaster
Chicago 7-9 Most overrated team
Detroit 6-10 played well in a lot of games last year despite winning none of them

[cpk1994]

Chicago: 13-3 (Cutler makes the difference)
Minnesota 12-4 (Favre makes the difference)
Deetroit 8-8 (Stafford makes rookie magic)
Green Bay 5-11 (Rodgers is an average QB; defense can't adjust to 3-4)

I hope to god that your 5-11 is complete sarcasm.

Not to mention that Rodgers is average. He was well above average in only his first year playing.

As far as defense, I just wish we had hired a DC who knew something about switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4.
