@Onyx,
Well I think our earlier discussion about the Bears VS Vikings showed that both of us (along with most of the rest of the folks following the NFC North) were giving way...WAY to much credit to the Bears at that point.
I feel sorry for Bears fans though, starting 3-1 and then dropping 6 of 7 games is rough as a fan...especially when you have a new QB that many fans aren't yet sold on....It will get a whole lot worse for the Bears before it gets any better.
In the meantime the Packers look a lot better than they did around the time we had that same discussion. They have BAL, PIT, ARI left as their tough games with CHI and SEA as games they really should win. They can lock up the #5 seed if they win out and the #6 seed if the go 4-1 down the stretch...anything worse than that and they'll need help (which I think they will get). I think 3 wins (at least 2 in conference) will get them a Wildcard.
As for the Vikings, they are obviously more worried about how high they will be ranked in the playoffs than whether they will make it. With that said I think the PATs have to beat NO for the Vikings to have a legitimate chance at the #1 spot. Otherwise they are pretty much stuck with #2 and the NFC title game will almost certainly be played in NO.
PS - @All League Members,
Updates will probably be 1/week after MNF until the playoffs. Has to do with my schedule atm. Just FYI for those wondering (its been this way for a few weeks now obv).
