Savage Beatings Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is it possible that the NFC North has the top 3 Defenses in the NFL now (sorry Detroit, not talking about you)? What does this mean in terms of offensive FF production for these teams that all have to play each other twice each season? Does the fact that Chicago, Green Bay, and Minnesota all have elite defenses make any difference in how you draft players within that Division? What about the fact that each of those teams also have big question marks at the QB position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the fact that each of those teams also have big question marks at the QB position? I'd be hard pressed to call any of the defenses elite, especially the Bears... 2007 Scoring Rank 6 Green Bay Packers 16 18.2 291 12 Minnesota Vikings 16 19.4 311 16 Chicago Bears 16 21.8 348 2007 Yards Against Rank 11 Green Bay Packers 16 18.2 291 994 313.3 20 Minnesota Vikings 16 19.4 311 1,063 338.1 28 Chicago Bears 16 21.8 348 1,036 354.7 Other than Allen, it's not like any of these teams has made notable changes.

Hopefully they can improve the TE coverage(Chillar may or may not help). But if Justin Harrell has finally recovered from his injury they could become elite. Maybe. It's possible but I wouldn't go there just now. I like Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
