NFC North finish

[Harlan Huckleby]

I am thinking the Lions are for real and are going to win the division. I still see the packers going to superbowl

I'm concerned that the loss of Neal & Collins is big, and we're only two games into the season, there will be more injuries on defense.

Lions are probably legit, but I want to see Stafford make it through a season before picking them.

I know the popular choice is with the lions, but I haven't drunk the Kool-Aid on them yet. Their team is very inexperienced and once they get a target painted on them as one of the better teams in the NFL, I don't know how they'll handle the added pressure. The Bears on the other hand have had a history of having fatal flaws and still performing admirably.

I love how none of the choices in the poll have the Vikings finishing anywhere but last...

[Guiness]

You're right Smeefers, the Bears are a more veteran team, who has won before (well, Cutler excepted) and know how to do it. The Lion's core players, Stafford, Johnson and Suh (and Best?) are all quite young. Sometimes the experience wins through, sometimes the kids just don't know that they have no business being there and bull through.

I think it will be the Lions - because they're a team on the rise, and I guess partially because I feel so bad for that franchise!

I chose Packers Bears Lions Vikings because I think Stafford or Calvin Johnson will get hurt and miss a few games leaving the door open for the Bears.

The Lions still have gaping holes in their secondry and their OL. Only way they win the division is if GB underperforms.

its time to rethink this poll.....
