Yet wasn't there a JSO article today talking Packer depth to the point that Poppinga might be trade bait?

That struck me as stoopid. I posted that question on Rats a while back, and the consensus is that you prolly couldn't get anything for him and if you could the very best would be a fifth rounder. Maybe.

And with the lingering injuries of Mathews and Thompson, who'd trade Poppinga now?

But I don't get Insider, so maybe the headline was misleading.

Now watch the stupid Lions friggin take it.

Oh c'mon MJ, Didja really need to post that?

Geezus.

I'm just sayin' everyone's talking like they don't even play football there. Well...ummm....still, you can't completely count them out.

I think the NFC North is wide open: Packers, Bears & Vikings all have a shot at the division. Lions are still lost.

I don't see the Bears being able to compete with Minn and GB. One of those two is going to finish 10-6 or better, and the Bears are limited on both sides of the ball. On offense Forte is good but he's more suited to a ball control type offense. None of their receivers have shown they can perform consistently for a whole year. Their offensive line is just ok and will really be hurting if Pace doesn't hold up. On defense their best players (with the exception of Briggs) are aging. The Bears will be lucky to compete for a WC berth.

Good point! Always good if Bears suck; still Packers to the top!

We have done stranger things with injuries at a position before. Thompson has something up his sleeve at LB, you don't trade up for a player like Mathews unless you have something in mind. Not that he wouldn't have been a good pick in a later round, but his talent didn't warrant that kind of move. Thompson is going to let someone go and we shouldn't be surprised at whoever that is. We might not find out this season because Mathews is "injured" currently and with as much time as he has missed, it may be mid-season before he is up to speed.
