...but on paper, I have to admit... there's definately potential there.

It's not impossible....
The Bears RB situation is kinda uncertain, they have no QB, the defense isn't what is was last year.

Greenbay is pretty well assembled, I'm picking them to win the division, Brett just wants to go out over .500 I'd assume so this is probably it.

Minnesota has no QB. Can't win without one no matter what the rest of the team does (see Kyle Boller)

Detroit has the most compete offense in the division, but also the weakest defense. Which at least divisionally, isn't that big of a deal since no one else has a fully functional offense except for Greenbay (and just barely)

well... if this is true... then I pick the Lions to be the first team EVER to make the playoffs with a 6-10 record.

I'm not picking them for the playoffs, as I said in my koolaidathon thread a while back, 6-9 wins and 2nd in the division. Clearly, these voters are insane.

sadly... that was a national vote... it didn't even have anything to do with the local lemmings...

That's what shocked me the most.

Half those Votes are probably from Mr. 24-72 himself. LOL

Very funny though, the LOLn's winning the Division. Alright, who passed out the crack to the voters.

This is stupid..

This team's defense isworse than last year with the loss of Hall and Bly, and their O-line is better but still sketchy at best, plus thier schedule is BRUTAL..If you can find me more than 5 wins in their schedule i'd be surprised.. 5-11 at best, realistically 4-12
