NFC North Division Tidbits

Just a thread to post news and notes on division foes.

Packers' Bryan Bulaga believed to have torn ACL - NFL.com

This would be huge hit for Acme Packers!!

Chicago Bears D-Line at risk of becoming a house of cards? - TPF

Just another noteworthy article. STill have Melton Pepppers and Briggs in that front 7. Maybe they struggle against the run just a little bit more...

I saw the article about Bulaga.

It's difficult to stay on top and avoid the injury bug. This should be a significant development because the Packers wanted to run more this season and take pressure off Rodgers and the passing game.

Lacy may be a riskier play without a solid O-Line to run behind.

As for the Bears I have never been a Treastmen (sp) fan. I think he may be over his head and the fact Chicago lost Urlacher and Lovie that team screams transition to me.

The Bears could see how it is in Allen Park last couple years. They will score points. Trestman will help Jaygina. The question is , will the injury bug let other teams score more?

Never happy to see guys get hurt. Am happy to see other teams have a glaring weakness before game one! Bulaga will be one for sure...

Injuries are part of the game and it's nice to see Green Bay having to scramble for once.

Green Bay Packers left tackle Bryan Bulaga out for season - ESPN

It is official. Bulaga out for season. Yes they will have to shuffle...

For once? I take it you haven't kept an eye on our injury report the last few years. The loss of Bulaga will hurt but we went 6-3 with Newhouse at LT and Bulaga on IR last year without a running game and a few receivers. We will be fine.

Jordy Nelson out for the rest of TC as well. After a "procedure". But he's been hurt before, so that should have no impact. Especially since Greg Jennings is a Viking and Mason Crosby is the worst kicker in the league.

I do pay attention to reports. Fantasy reasons but none the less... I will not speak for JDWILLS just myself. The Lions stable has been bare for quite awhile. Lions are starting to get some depth. CB and WR killed them last year. I am aware of Bulaga and Jennings and Finley, Tramon, LB name?? from last season. Packers depth steps in and does decent. Lions were signing PS and FA guys.

I don't like the injuries, but the evil guy does smile deep inside when they happen to the enemies. To me being fine and having the 11 best on Sunday might mean 10-6 is suddenly 8-8 and sitting at home come January.

Ohhh yeah, actaully hoping Lacy does resemble run game this year. (fantasy reasons of course)

Forgot about Jordy from last year. Lost some games with out his production...

Another piece to this... Yes Newhouse was LT last year.

IMO on that one drive late in a close game. That one sack that rookie Bahktiari gives up could mean the game. Again big difference to me of being fine and having best 11 on Sunday not backups.

Good thing they used those 1st round picks in back to back years on tackles in 2010 and 2011, only have neither on the field 3 years later...

 

[broncosmitty]

With all the weight Lacey has put on, he may just block for himself.

That is what (Grail) KJ Ester needs is a self blocking FB/RB hybrid type runner...

HAHAHAHA

A Lions fan actually talking about wasted 1st round picks?

Priceless

If only Stafford's sex drive hadn't driven him away....

 

[RobBase]

I swear to fucking God if we change the banner I will not watch one god damn Vikings game this season except for the two they play the Lions (and any Thursday, Sunday or Monday night games they may have). I swear! Don't push me!

Our track record over the last 5 or so years is a lot better than the Packers, can't argue that one...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Justin Harrell (sp) and Derick Sherrod were total non-factors to the point that neither even came close to having a good game, let alone a good season...
