NFC North: Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota

The biggest threat: The Bears look like a team that could take a step back, but as long as Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs and Julius Peppers are healthy, the defense can keep them in games. They seem to be rounding up every high draft pick that couldn't cut it elsewhere and maybe some of them, like WR Roy Williams, could materialize.

oćel napad konačno probati da da koji poen više

Work to do: Detroit is frightening on paper. The Lions could be really good, once again, if QB Matthew Stafford stays healthy. The Vikings' addition of QB Donovan McNabb could make a playoff run possible. There is plenty of talent there and the coaching staff is solid. They just might not have explosiveness on offense, other than Adrian Peterson, to hang with the rest of the division

Buduci rivalitet NFC northa. Kada dodamo takodje mladog Stafforda i Cutlera, u ovoj diviziji ce se godinama voditi zestoka bitka izmedju ovih QB.
Zanimljivo bi trebalo da bude i u NFC southu gde su Freeman, Newton, Ryan i Brees...

U toj vasoj skupini Zeka ce da sedi u fotelji sa tompusom i prstenjem, a ostali kvoteri iz divizije ce ga posluzivati na zlatnom tanjiru i masirati mu noge

Raising Arizona ::U toj vasoj skupini Zeka ce da sedi u fotelji sa tompusom i prstenjem, a ostali kvoteri iz divizije ce ga posluzivati na zlatnom tanjiru i masirati mu noge

Ta nasa "skupina" ce bar da bude konkurentna za razliku od vase "skupine" koja je ubedljivo najgora u poslednjih 5 godina NFLa. NFC west je bruka i sramota, a da stvari budu jos gore, osim STL, nijedna ekipa nema franchise QB vec sve neke raspale polovnjake. Ne racunajuci moguce povrede, Rodgers i Cutler mogu da igraju sigurno jos 6-7 godina, dok su Ponder i Stafford tek zapoceli karijere. Svi iz vase divizije su prelazna resenja, a pitanje je da li ce Bradford preziveti sa onakvom ofanzivnom linijom.

I sad odjednom imas tako lose misljenje o Ponderu i mislis da ce moci samo da masira noge!? Koja kontradiktornost od onog sto si pricao za ruckom. Sto se Stafforda tice, za mene je on vec dokazao da je dobar QB...

Smirela, ne mislim nista lose ali kako Zeka igra svi mogu da mu se sagnu.

Ja sam smiren, ti si taj koji pali vatru sa tupavim metaforama.
Cinjenica je da je Rodgers najbolji, ali i Stafford i Ponder imaju potencijala. Lionsi imaju jako mladu odbranu koja bi tek trebalo da pokaze najbolje, a i nasa odbrana bi mogla da bude jedna od boljih uz par korekcija, a da ne zaboravimo Petersona...

Realno ako Stafford ostane zdrav Lionsi imaju sansu da za par godina igraju u SB.

Za Pondera je jos rano govoriti bilo sta

Jacob ::Realno ako Stafford ostane zdrav Lionsi imaju sansu da za par godina igraju u SB.

Za Pondera je jos rano govoriti bilo sta

Lionsi, ako odrze ovaj tim na okupu i jos malo se pojacaju, imaju sasvim realne sanse da minimum budu bolji od Packersa a o PO da ne pricam.
Sto se nas tice, imamo rupa, ali uz dobar draft i par slobodnih agenata, mozda vec sledece godine mozemo do PO. Dosta zavisi od Ponderove igre, ali pokazao je da ima potencijala. Fali nam dobar WR (bice dosta slobodnih), RG i pojacan sekondari. Imacemo visokog pika gde ce biti moguce uzeti igraca koji moze odmah da pomogne...

Pokazao je potencijal ali u jednoj utakmici, jedna lasta ne cini prolece.

Tako je i kolb bio dobar u jednoj utakmici pa se sad raspada.

Da li ce tri tima iz NFC North ici u PO 2012?
Minesota ce malo jos da saceka 3-4 godine PO!

pa kao se bude pitao jug i istok neće

Danijel BL ::pa kao se bude pitao jug i istok neće

Jug se ne pita a istok isto!
Zato sto se medjusobno sastaju Sever i tuzni zapad,
plus sto se NFC North sastaje sa AFC South( jos ako pajser ne dodje u Tenesi, burek divizija sa jakim Hou) a jug sa AFC EAST!

Ma sva cetiri tima iz nase divizije idu u PO. Naravno, mi kao prvi! Ima da osvojimo superbowl hahahahahaha

Uh, tesko al reci cu eo da ce Lionsi biti ispred Bearsa...

NFC North

Defending champion: Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay went 15-1 and got tripped up in the playoffs after the tragic death of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin's son mentally affected the organization. Losing center Scott Wells could disrupt chemistry, but replacing him with a true pro like Jeff Saturday should prevent a major dropoff. Green Bay spent its first six draft picks on defenders, with OLB/DE Nick Perry and DT Jerel Worthy its top two selections. If the Packers don't improve their pass rush, they could be highly vulnerable in the NFL's most competitive division.

Biggest threat, based on offseason moves: Chicago Bears.
Chicago was arguably one of the NFL's most dangerous teams last season before QB Jay Cutler and RB Matt Forte got hurt. Settling things contractually with Forte is a must, but the Bears got themselves insurance by signing RB Michael Bush (as well as backup quarterback Jason Campbell) in free agency. The trade with Miami for WR Brandon Marshall gives Cutler a legit target and puts pressure on the suspect pass defenses in the division. Defensive end Shea McClellin and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be immediate contributors, but steering clear of offensive line in the draft was a huge question

2) NFC North

1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
2. Matthew Stafford, Lions
3. Jay Cutler, Bears
4. Christian Ponder, Vikings

This division is loaded at the position. Rodgers is the top QB in the league. Stafford finally stayed healthy and posted monster numbers in 2011. Cutler has always had the ability and I've seen growth in his decision making. I'm not yet sold on Ponder, but I saw some good things last season.

Looking over Matt Williamson's offseason grades for the NFC North compelled me to take a look back at our Big Decision series from the winter. In it, I tried to preview some of the most important issues facing NFC North teams in the coming months.

The list was by no means exhaustive, but I thought we would take this moment to circle back and comment on its resolution. We discussed seven issues at the time, which I've reviewed below, and I'll also add a few additional topics that ended up dominating our conversations.

[+] Enlarge
Charles WoodsonJeff Hanisch/US PresswireCharles Woodson is expected to play both safety and cornerback for Green Bay this season.
Big Decision: Charles Woodson's 2012 position for the Green Bay Packers
Resolution: A schematic adjustment that could feature Woodson as a hybrid safety-cornerback in the base defense. Woodson likely will play as a slot defender in nickel and dime situations.
Comment: The Packers answered (C) when faced with the question of Woodson as a safety or cornerback: All of the above. Given how malleable defensive coordinator Dom Capers' scheme is, there was no reason to make a black-and-white decision when gray might have been the best option all along.

Big Decision: Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs' trade request
Resolution: The Bears mollified Briggs with a $2.5 million raise for 2012. He would earn $5.5 million in 2013.
Comment: The Bears weren't ready to give a 31-year-old linebacker a huge upgrade, but as it turned out, it wasn't necessary. Briggs just wanted to see the most minor demonstration of love to be happy.

Big Decision: The future of Detroit Lions left tackle Jeff Backus
Resolution: Signed a two-year contract in March.
Comment: Backus will turn 35 during the season, but the Lions needed to protect themselves when they had an opportunity. They followed up by making tackle Riley Reiff their top draft choice, setting up an ideal succession plan that could begin next month or next year.

Big Decision: The Minnesota Vikings' middle linebacker situation
Resolution: Fourth-year player Jasper Brinkley will be given a chance to take the job of incumbent E.J. Henderson, who was not re-signed.
Comment: Brinkley missed all of 2011 because of a hip injury and was held out of June minicamp for precautionary reasons. There is no depth behind Brinkley, making this move a big risk. As a result, middle linebacker remains one of the Vikings' biggest question marks.

Big Decision: Backup quarterbacks for all four teams
Resolution: The Bears signed veteran Jason Campbell. The Lions re-signed Shaun Hill but allowed Drew Stanton to depart via free agency. The Packers allowed Matt Flynn to depart and seem committed to Graham Harrell. The Vikings re-signed Sage Rosenfels but appear set to make Joe Webb their No. 2.
Comment: Campbell represents a huge upgrade for the Bears. Hill is the perfect player to back up Matthew Stafford in the Lions' offense. Harrell is unproven but drew raves from Packers coaches this offseason. The Vikings are serious enough about Webb as their No. 2 that they stopped experimenting with him at other positions.

Big Decision: The Bears' commitment to Kellen Davis
Resolution: Davis re-signed with a two-year contract.
Comment: Davis feels confident the Bears will use the tight end more under new offensive coordinator Mike Tice, a former NFL tight end. That's probably a good assumption.

Big Decision: The future of Lions defensive end Cliff Avril
Resolution: The Lions restructured their salary cap sufficiently enough to make room for Avril's $10.6 million franchise tag figure. The sides have until Monday to agree on a long-term extension.
Comment: The Lions made clear from the start of the offseason that Avril was a strong fit for their defensive system and a vital part of its success. Given the importance of pass rushers in this era, few if any would argue with the decision, even if it means he ultimately departs via free agency in 2013.

Honorable mention
The Bears jumped on the relative bargain rate of the franchise tag for tailback Matt Forte ($7.74 million) but the inability/unwillingness to sign him to a multi-year deal suggests some ambivalence about his long-term future. … The Bears re-committed to quarterback Jay Cutler by acquiring one of his favorite receivers (Brandon Marshall) and coach (quarterbacks guru Jeremy Bates), giving Cutler by far his best surrounding cast since he arrived in Chicago. … The Lions nipped a pressing long-term issue by making receiver Calvin Johnson the highest-paid player in the NFL at the time of the agreement, a deal that actually lowered his 2012 salary-cap figure and set up the rest of the Lions' offseason. … The Packers addressed their pass defense by signing several free agent defensive linemen, including veteran Anthony Hargrove, and selecting six consecutive defensive players to open the draft. … The Packers made a wise decision not to place the franchise tag on Flynn, who did not receive the level of free-agent interest once anticipated. … The Vikings publicly hemmed and hawed about their direction for the No. 3 overall pick, but ultimately made the obvious choice by selecting left tackle Matt Kalil after trading down one spot to No. 4.
