NFC North Twitter Style Preview
Leaving the long and drawn out NFL previews to the others, we decided to take a different approach for 2012. A Twitter style preview that happens in 140 characters or less. Spelling and grammar are pretty much out the window as corners have to be cut. Speaking of cut, if a response comes in over 140 characters, it will end with a “…” The panel consists of three football writer/fans/ and perpetrators of various other crimes….

Bears –
Lee: Miami and Denver had no problem getting rid of Brandon Marshall. Bears are hoping Cutler reins him in, like he didn’t in Denver.
Tom: Urlacher is aging quickly, and the Bears still need him to be their anchor, both defensively and spiritually. The window is closing quickly.
Dale: Cutler and Marshall back together again unfortunately it didn’t lead to the playoffs the last time they were together.
Packers –
Lee: What happens when you HAVE to have a running game? Lack of RB could be what keeps this group from multiple titles.
Tom: Aaron Rodgers is quite possibly the best QB in the NFL today, and will be for years to come. Couple that with stud receivers and a good RB…
Dale: Will storm through the regular season but the offense is not geared for late January elements, need to find a Dorsey Levens type.
Vikings –
Lee: I keep getting asked if the Vikings would take a QB with their #1 pick next year. If Ponder has them at the top of the order, yes.
Tom: Adrian Peterson showed us his ugly side this off-season, now it’s upon him to redeem himself and this franchise.
Dale: Ponder this– Does anyone really think Christian is the answer?
Lions –
Lee: Lions contenders for the NFCN crown. Yep. They still need to quit beating themselves off the field before they contend for a Super Bowl.
Tom: The Lions seem to have become the new Bengals, with everyone seeming to get arrested every time they turn around. Suspensions could prove fa…
Dale: If only they had a consistent running game to take some of it off Stafford and Megatron they could dare I say “Contend for a Super Bowl”
