Thread: 2006 NFC North Season Preview

Here's a 2006 season preview of the NFC North. This Web site also has season previews of six other divisions, as well as a two-round 2007 NFL Mock Draft.

I saw that the "Sporting News" gave the Vikings a projected 6-10 record. I think you'll favor my prediction.

He has the Bears going 13 - 3, I will take bets that the Bears do not finish with the record! 11 - 5 at best for the Bears.

LOL, I like the analysis and prediction for the Packers!

Analysis: It's hard to imagine that a 4-12 team actually found a way to regress. But the Packers somehow managed to do it.

Projection: 2-14 (4th in the NFC North).

this site has the Vikes going 10-6, which is doable... I hope he's right.

I think Chester Taylor is capable of being a no. 1 back, especially the left side of our line.

one thing I didnt like in this article...

"That said, the Vikings still have a few problems on the offensive side of the ball. They signed Chester Taylor, but he's not a No. 1 running back. Neither is Mewelde Moore. Minnesota clearly should have made a run at Laurence Maroney or DeAngelo Williams in April's draft. The team also lacks a top-notch wide out, now that Nate Burleson is gone. The quartette of Koren Robinson, Travis Taylor, Marcus Robinson and Troy Williamson combined for only 1,838 yards last year."

Apprently this guy can see the future. How in the world does this guy know that Taylor isnt a number 1 back?

I like this prediction more than the Sporting News one! I think this one is more realistic, espiecally the Packers prediction :grin:

Hey, soswalter. Go to the Free Beer section and introduce yourself!

Wow, every source I have seen so far has the Bears on top of the North. I didnt think they were that good last year.

I dunno, Walter. When you say things like:

Defense This Year: Although Minnesota's defense wasn't anything special last year, it was a lot better than the unit that was ranked near the bottom of every category in 2004. That's because the Vikings added nose tackle Pat Williams, defensive end Erasmus James, linebacker Napoleon Harris, cornerback Fred Smoot and free safety Darren Sharper to the roster last offseason.

...it kinda shows that you have no clue. Erasmus James had minor success, Nap Harris didn't play and Fred Smoot got hurt and then sent to the sidelines after Steve Smith treated him like a HS backup.

And how can you say this:

Antonie Winfield didn't play up to [his] potential last season

I mean - he was second on the team in tackles! How can you say he didn't play up to his potential?

I think you have some work to do on your knowledge before you can tout your previewing skills by spamming a Vikes fan website.

Preach Zeus...while I like the 10-6 record he gives us....he dosnt know what the hellllll hes talking about
