I don't think the Packers are very good. They are more like the Lions than people want to admit. The Bears defense is legit. 

The Packers look OOOOOOOOOOOLD.  None of their receivers can get open.  They have no running back.  The line  still looks ok.

Their defense still relies on Clay Matthews for pass rush and their secondary is 60 year old Tramon Williams and a bunch of rookies.

(I still hope they come back and win this game)

I actually think the Offence will be great and Stafford will be in the MVP Conversation

Hopefully the Coach cleans up the crap the lions suffer from year after year.... I think Davis has a better year and the D is not thee worst maybe 20-22 nd ish.  The secondary will be bad and they will have very few sacks.

9 wins and a huge season for Stafford.

Matthews with a crucial lionseque penalty.

Trubisky reminds me of Joey Harrington

There are few things better than a Monday morning in Chicago following an epic bears loss. Savor it for me.

I hate Aaron Rodgers so much.

[Mr. Bigglesworth 3,215]

In part because Khalil Mack came up earlier in the thread.

The Bears won't regret the Mack trade, would have done that deal in an instant if I was the Lions, but making that trade without a QB in place might prove to be a fatal mistake. If they realize in the next few seasons that Trubisky isn't the answer, they don't have the draft picks to rectify that mistake.

Their error was not only passing on Watson and Mahomes but giving up a kings ransom to take a moderate upside guy like Trubisky.  He could be a solid QB in the right system but I just don't see the big upside.

so very happy today.

unfortunately i think the bears are going to be decent this season.  the last few years of lions domination of them has been oh so sweet.

6-10 was a bit Sunny-Eyed for me.     They look like 3-13 if they are lucky.

538 has the Rams and Lions both at 8-8, with the Lions having a slightly better odds at a better record, albeit with a lower eloRating.

dont trust 538.

[Mr. Bigglesworth 3,215]

Yeah.  They incorrectly thought Stafford would be better.

For not being in the same division as them we sure do seem to play the Cardinals an awful lot.  I swear it seems like every year we get them.

Lions and Cardinals are practically division rivals they play so friggin' much. 

 

(Sorry about that Randy,  didn't see yours)

[Mr. Bigglesworth 3,215]

Anyone notice how much the Lions seem to play the Cardinals?

[sabretooth 263]

What about the Cardinals?
