because of unusual backloading the NFC North division games for the Packers,pundits have picked the Chicago Bears,or the Detroit Lions,to win the NFC North this year,but honestly,if injuries do not strike them hard,this upcoming season,the Packers will be the big dog to beat in NFC North,and i am not saying that the Bears,or the Lions have not improved... however,knowing Packers' general manager Ted Thompson,he will have a very good draft,and the Packers' offense still has Aaron Rodgers,Greg Jennings,James Jones,and company... the defense was pitiful last season,but coach Mike McCarthy,and the coaching staff will improve that unit,this season...
the biggest loss,of the 2011-2012 season,happened in week two(not on scoreboard),but in defensive backfield,when 2010 All-Pro Nick Collins went down,with neck injury(and had neck fusion surgery),and the Packers' defense actually never recovered from that loss... the experience of those players,who played in his absence,will help in the long run,but in the short term,it really did not help,last season... the Packers' offense was so explosive that it overshadowed a defense depleted by a severe injury,that took the proverbial heart of the defense out... for the pundits who say that Packers are not the same team,as in 2010-2011 NFL season,they may be not,but they will be better than last season,and that is something that the teams that the Packers play,will have to deal with,and they will be tough to beat,and with Aaron Rodgers at the helm,and coach Mike McCarthy at helm of entire team,the entire team will have a big chip,on their collective shoulders,will be hungry,dangerous,and anxious to redeem themselves,after a very disappointing end,to the 2011-2012 NFL season... WATCH OUT,NFL!!!!!!!!
