The Fat Kid's On The Teeter Totter, And He's Not Gettin' Off

"Guiness"-----------"SOV - I agree that this team is not where it needs to be. However, the fact is that we have 6 games against the 'other' NFC North teams. Those games are winnable. I think we are the most improved team in the division - Chicago moved backwards, and Detroit improved marginally. Minnesota made strides, but they seem to every year!"

"Sweeps against Detroit and Chicago, and a split with Minnesota gets us to 5 wins. We'll see what happens outside of that."

What do you base your comment "the Bears moving backwards" on.
Saying the Pack will sweep Chicago and Detroit is nothing more than homerism. Please expound upon the reasons you think this team is good enough to go 5-1 in the division. And please, give me more than "we have no. 4." I'll venture a guess we haven't swept Detroit and Chicago for at least 5 years, so why would you make such a statement.

How the hell did I miss seeing this one?
2002: Green Bay beats the Lions away and at home, and also sweeps da Bears.

"Packers4Glory"-----could the GB game be the one that send rexxxxxxxxxxxxx to the bench? hmmmmmmmmmmm 7-9 or 8-8...or if we get some of that bear luck 13-3

If the Pack wins 13 games, I'll build a statue of Mike McCarthy in my front yard, and bow down to it every morn' and every evening, for the rest of my existance on this planet.

and I'd march straight to the 50 yard line and shiit golden bricks for everyone in attendance for the playoff game game.

Remind me to be sure to get tickets for that one...

didn't see this response until now. Well, as K-town pointed out, it wasn't that long ago that the Pack swept those two squads.

Why do I think the Bears moved backwards? Well, I guess they're not as bad as the '01, then '02 squads, but I feel they haven't moved forward, and by standing still, have moved backwards.

The only significant move they made was to upgrade their D (good idea to concentrate on that, eh?) and R. Manning hasn't exactly worked out. Their offense effectively stays its same, pathetic self - the addition of Berrian doesn't exactly worry me. The only possible improvement is if they get some production from the QB position.

As far as the Lions, I don't even think I have to go into it. 3 of their 4 latest first round picks (not counting '06) won't be on the field to start the game. And they were all top 10 picks.

I'm not saying it's probable, but it is possible. If Chicago's D doesn't hold things together, and do some scoring, that team won't see 8-8.
