NFC North

This will be a bad division this year.

1) Bears - The defensive will be horrible, but the offense will be awesome.
2) Packers - Take away Rodgers and this isn't a very good team. The injuries are already piling up with the nose tackle and center out for the season. Also, they are the dirtiest, scum sucking team in the history of any sport.
3) Lions - They're still the Lions and their new coach is that guy who lost 108-0 or whatever it was to the Saints.
4) Vikings - When Cassell is easily your best QB you're in trouble.

NFC South

4) Tampa Bay - Lovie Smith...

Wow, reports coming in that the Patriots have traded 6x Pro-Bowler Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay for 6'4' 220lbs 'move' TE Tim Wright and a draft pick.

They need more gigantic tight ends?

They actually need another TE to line up opposite Gronk (they have really nobody besides Gronk at TE...they've been having Solder their starting LT take snaps at TE at times), yeah...but the draft pick is a 4th...considering Mankins value to the O-Line, this seems like a rare...very rare situation where another team gets the better of a trade w/ BB.

Tim Wright's in his 2nd year, last year he caught 54 passes for 571 yards 10.6 avg w/ 5 TD's.

That having been said, Wright's only slightly larger than Hernandez, he's not meant to be a tank like Gronk (6'6" ~265lbs), he's the move TE that worked so well when pairing up w/ Gronk in 2 TE sets.

I'm not sure how the O-Line's going to look now, some are suggesting that Josh Kline will be the new starter, which is really the only option since we haven't seen Stork (injury) play yet.  That's crazy though, Mankins was rated 2nd behind Nate Solder in run blocking for the O-Line.

NFC SOUTH:
1.New Orleans Saints (Average D with Great O equals winning a bad division)
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Great D with Average QB equals 8-8)
3. Carolina Panthers( Cam-Overrated, no WR will show that. Defense keeps them at 7-9)
4. Atlanta Falcons (Great O with horrendous D, probably fighting the Lions for dead last, equals 6-10)

I am reading trading Mankins causes the Pats 8 million in dead money this year due to the trade. Seems like it was done to free up money for next year. Who knows?
