Packers and Lions: current NFC powerhouses

I agree completely. Calling them a powerhouse, no, its not there. They got hot in the last half of the season. Thanks in large part to their former running back. As for Detroit. Good team that's headed by a dumbass. Yes, the players would run through a wall for their coach. But eventually he'll have them run through the wrong wall. His play calling is questionable, at best sometimes. But at other times, its just bizarre.

One lost by 3 to the NFC Superbowl loser in the playoffs and the other was in the NFCC game and lost by 3: and both have done nothing to think they'll be lesser than in 2024. Every year is different for sure, but not sure how you can't call both NFC powerhouses. Josh Jacobs is an upgrade at RB for Green Bay. You can call Campbell a dumbass, but he's got good coordinators below him on both sides of the ball. A talented roster.  So its not like I'm rooting for these teams, lol, but its easy to see without purple shades that they will [i]most likely [/i]be pretty darn good again this year.

If Cousins doesn't go down, do the Packers even make the playoffs?  I think the Vikings would have been a WC team over them last year.

No doubt about it, but they dug themselves out of a hole and played lights out in the playoffs. It still stings a bit to see how Minnesota pissed that WC spot away by losing the last 4 games. But we also had a ton of injuries. Every year is different for sure, like I mentioned. But unfortunately, I think we're going to see Sam Darnold be mostly Sam Darnold-ish and Green Bay and Detroit pick up where they left off last year.
