5 of 7 CBS writers give North to the Packers
5 of 7 CBS writers give North to the Packers. 4 of 7 pick them to win the Super Bowl. Zero pick Vikings. This will make that week 2 win all the sweeter, assuming Rodgers gets out of his week 2 Mack matchup with all of his body parts intact.

good lord.
who is their running back? their best WR after Adams? how about the defensive backfield?
It’s pretty much a slap in the face of every non Packer NFL player’s face to think that Rodgers is that good that he can dominate with average at best players.
they have potentially 2 pro bowl players on defense, 1 on offense and this team is going to win 11+ games in a STACKED NFC?
Yep the NFC is loaded.
The Packers are not. All bow down...wow. However is anybody even surprised?
Sports writers will always climb on the Packer bandwagon and then make tons of excuses why they failed...Like last year when Rodgers got hurt, the rest of the team supposedly fell all apart because of no Rodgers. Probably, weren't any good with him either. The whole team is suppose to pick up the slack. Offense and defense both sucked. But you won't convince those sports writers of that.
I was talking to a couple off customers at work we all three think greenback finishes 3rd in the north with the addition of mack for the bears that's at best I would not be shocked to see them fourth
Vikings have won the division last 2 of 3 years, had a better offseason, and is a way more well rounded team......but then the reporters can't sniff on AR's jock strap. It's pretty sickening really.

One of the sportswriters, mentioned in another thread yesterday, had Erin winning the MVP but didn't have the Puke even making the playoffs! Unbelievable...
@"Wetlander" said:@"MaroonBells" said: I think the Packers start 0-2. I would love for that to happen... but let's be real... The Bears aren't beating the Packers in Lambeau.Your probably right about that. The Bear defense will really need to get up close and personal with Aaron in order to win. The Bear defense does have pretty good ends and now outstanding linebackers.
@"Wetlander" said:Perhaps Khalil Mack will be a major factor in applying a heavy dose of hits to Rogers blind side and thus bring down the Pack in game 1! I will say Im very interested in the first game between those two rivals.@"MaroonBells" said: I think the Packers start 0-2. I would love for that to happen... but let's be real...

5 out of 7 CBS writers are clueless and can't write.

@"Wetlander" said:Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bears beat them. It's not like home has been a huge advantage for them the last several years.@"MaroonBells" said: I think the Packers start 0-2.

Rogers covers up a lot of flaws...
Viking fans forget how close that team was to a SB not long ago.
We'll see, I'm wary of them with a generational talent @ QB.
It's like the worse they do, the more cemented their Super Bowl is the following season. It must be nice to write about the Packers because it's "autopilot" easy...
When you have to consider 32 teams in 8 divisions, why would you want to day dream about this team?
'That defensive line... that defensive back field... those wideouts... that staff............................................................................................................. **** it... the Packers have Aaron Rodgers baby!' -
Writers metaphorically giving the NFCN to the Packers doesn't bother me. However, referees literally giving the division to the Packers is an all too plausible scenario.
