Hard to say prior to all the trades and draft. Then you have 18 weeks or so of injuries and (dis)function in all the NFL teams.

But hey, sports talk and writers gotta just keep churning that click bait.

As such. No idea. Heck, just in honor of my late packer fan bro-in-law, a really great guy....I will state that it's impossible. (Because my NFL predictions generally suck. )

Great thing about sports, we'll have an answer in a year. All the best, I think the division is getting tougher and tougher these days. Coming out of it may start to carry more weight.

I'm an odd sort of fan, in that I want the division to be good, not easy for one team, where's the fun in that?

We know what the Lions/Packers are doing, but what about those Bears/Vikings? Cousins/Fields . . .or not!

The only reason I want the rest of my division to win anything is so their draft picks won't be as good, and maybe they'll lose some players to free agency. In other words I don't want them to be threats in the future either.

Aside from that, I want my team be a couple games better, with no drama at the end. It's a tall order...I'm a Seattle fan in the NFC West.

Very tall, with those 49ers on a roll plus can't count out Rams, Cards either. I expect Lions/Packers games this year to be a battle, no easy wins in the North.

Cherry Starr passed away, such a classy couple they were, the Starrs. RIP, well loved by Packer fans.

From Schneidman, covering Gute's presser, he thinks Pack can go to the SB, and not chasing the Lions. Division win is nice but we don't hang banners.

Cherry and Bart Starr had a big hand with their efforts of the Rawhide Foundation and also the Rawhide Boys Ranch. The efforts of building a foundation and construction of the ranch itself were to help troubled boys, boys who got in real trouble, boys who were physically abused, runaway boys, boys who their parents had died and were truly orphans.

They were involved with this starting in the mid 1960's, a time where NFL players had to have off season jobs. Salaries were low, benefits were skimpy. Thousands of boys were able to turn their lives around thanks to Bart and Cherry as well as their close friends John and Jan Gillespie because of the Rawhide Ranch.

One of the best ESPN Sports Century documentaries is the one with Bart Starr. Cherry has quite a bit of input in that bio. In 2000 the ESPN Sports Century series focused the 100 greatest athletes of the century and won an Emmy for best documentary series. Most were 60 minute bios, some were 30 minutes.

A life well lived-Bart and Cherry Starr.

And they managed to embrace both Favre and Rodgers, loved them both, stayed above the media talk. Both of them visited Bart and Cherry in their home. Neither has done well with fans, media lately, but they were all about the Starrs.

Definitely a life well lived sums it up, the younger generations of athletes could learn something from previous ones.

Well, signing two FAs is a surprise, RB and Safety, but the major kick in the gut to fans, releasing Aaron Jones:

Unreal. Jones was my favorite Packer! He was great in the playoffs too. I don't understand bringing in Josh Jacobs & releasing Jones, unless Packers didn't want to pay him that much or felt he was too injury prone.

Jones is going to go to the Vikings or Bears now isn't he, & rush for 100 yards every time he faces GB, lol.
