Top and Bottom of NFC North switch Positions

**SharperImage** · 10-05-2008, 03:35 PM

Everyone said Pack on top and Bears on Bottom.. Well look at it now

The bears beat a tough Philly and Indy and the Pack lost to Atlanta and Tampa Bay.

Can the Vikes make a surge? this is
HUGE game tomorrow.

Lets raise the optimism and go and yell at our TV screens for the O!! this team has slow and old corners..

Break out game for Berrian and Rice.
And can we get a Bomb Chiller?

A must win tomorrow.
NO is very beatable against a tough D.
Packer loss was very nice and reassuring, there's still a chance in NFCN.

The Packers loss felt great

Really? Will either one even play? If Rice is playing, will they even throw to him?

Rice missed 3 preseason games & in the 4 regular season games this year, he played in only 2 of them & caught a whopping 3 passes for 37 yards with 1 TD. I think they only threw to him only 4 or 5 times. Hard to have a breakout game when you have an idiot coach/coordinatoer that doesn't involve him in more plays.

Berrian played in 3 of the 4. 11 catches total. 0 TD's. (BTW, that's 1 more catch & 1 less TD than Shiancoe)

Another overlooked & underused receiver is Allison. Only 5 catches & not many more throws to in the 4 games he played in.

I'm not expecting anyone of our players to have a breakout game, except maybe Longwell.

Ditto

Also sucks when your QB can't get you the ball that well

I think Gus will be better in his 3rd game

Who is EVERYONE that said that? Many thought the Vikings were Super Bowl bound & many of the ones that I saw that predicted GB to finish on top, predicted the Lions to finish in the cellar.

BTW, the Packers are not on the bottom. They are in 2nd place.

Last I checked, the Lions are on the bottom at 0-4. We are second from the bottom even if we win tomorrow night.

Hey, let's stay optimistic. If we can win this one we'll be right back in the mix in the North. 1 game back of Chicago isn't that hard to overcome and we're hitting the easiest part of our schedule at this point in the season. Then again, we're missing our best linebacker and arguably best defensive player...

Just another random thought thread from SI.

I'm beginning to wonder if it is the easiest part. Detroit? Well?

Bears look tough, especially on D. And really the teams we thought would be the "easy" part are proving to be winners for the most part (or at least better than us).
