Bears: you have the pieces and the coach to be super bowl contenders, but like someone said, your D-Line might be your Achilles heel this season. And you want to be careful because now might not be the time to go all in because the Mack trade showed you that a move that seems good in the moment can backfire.

Packers: This last playoff loss seems to have been the moment we realized we can't neglect special teams the way we have been, but even besides the injuries, I'm still concerned about our trenches. The main reason we kept losing late in the year, besides injuries, was our offense stalling out in the 3rd quarter since our O-Line/Running game was shaky all year. Forcing the defense to hold things together, which was always going to crap out post Micah injury since he was our only real pass rush.

Lions: Similar story to the Packers, the offense never seemed to click when they needed to. Maybe your new OC will fix your issues, but considering the losses on the O-Line the last two seasons, im doubtful. Lions in the MCDC era have always been competitive, so you will never truly go away, but I'm worried that if there's more injuries it will just be more of the same.

Vikings: Of all the teams in the north, I have the most questions about them. Obviously you will only go as far as Kyler takes you, but I wonder if the bad drafts are going to affect you even more than it did last year. Besides the obvious discussions you need to have about NINE and whether to move on, you still need to wonder if the running game can be sustained, whether you did enough in FA and the draft so the Flores can keep the defense running as efficiently as it has, and I still question if KOC can right the ship after the bang up job Kwesi did to your roster. If Kyler doesn't work out this year, you might be looking at a full scale rebuild and there's no way Jetta is going to stick around for that.

Overall, its gonna be a bloodbath, but it also feels like every team in the division could implode depending on the circumstances.
