Unfortunately that didn't result in a win though. I agree that it seems the Packers might have the best chances of winning in Seattle over the next four road games.
A split of the Rams/Patriots would be ultra ideal. At 4-3-1, I feel like the Packers would be sitting in a very nice spot.

True, although we thoroughly outplayed them for 55 minutes of the NFCCG on their field.
It's not horseshoes.

It's not good that the Vikings have taken the lead in the division already, when we are just now going into the rough part of our schedule.
To quote The Shawshank Redemption, it's time to "get busy living, or get busy dying".

At this point it seems fair to say the North lacks a top end team and has 4 flawed teams that all could come away with the division. The Lions would be the most surprising to me.

I have seen the Vikings play a few games - Packers, Bills, Rams, Saints. I guess I should watch a few more because they are winless in those games! But they are just missing something. Their 4 wins are not impressive. 2 rookie QBs. The 49ers and then their impressive eagles win. So no team above .500.

The Bears actually seem the most steady. Playing mostly everyone tough

Bears are seriously impressive, though I think they can't win a game in playoffs if they get there.

Still, they have score most points in the division and conceded least.

Only the Rams and Saints have scored more than them. And they have the 3rd best Defence (in points conceded) in the conference.

Impressive for a team that was lost between us and Y(v)ikes in expectations.

What annoys me with division rivals is that they'll always play down to one another, but when The Packers come to town, they get their act together and play competitive. I was looking at that Detroit score and I was like, would've been nice had you played as sloppy against our boys. Granted I know our boys played a part in that, but still. It's annoying. Maybe it's just me on this.

I don't think Detroit played all that will against us, I think the biggest difference was we just couldn't get anything to go our way. We should have buried them actually. Definitely should have won, but this team is still trying to figure out a way to quit with the poor timed penalty or how to not let a mishap kill them. They're getting better and i'm still hopeful it keeps going that way. What's most frustrating this year is knowing we still haven't played a game to our potential. The only games i feel we were really outplayed in were the end of the Patriots game and the Washington game. that's it. Even the Rams, we beat them on more plays, mano y mano. But couldn't win the game. That's a problem, but it's also encouraging. We outplayed Detroit too, but couldn't make a kick, the refs decided to give them the ball inside the 1 after they kicked it away and a few other things we just couldn't overcome, but need to find a way to if we're going to go anywhere. I think they are, i just hope it's enough, soon enough.

But Detroit played Chicago like absolute trash. that was a bad, bad football team out there yesterday.

Right in the thick of it again. Those Vikings and Bears rematches are looking bigger every week.

We need a Vikings win this Sunday over the Bears. Not only because the Bears are in the lead for the division, but because the Bears have the easier schedule remaining of the two teams.

I got Minnesota losing at least 4 of the 7 games. The fact that I have to hope that they win next week makes me sick to my stomach. I despise this team more than Chicago.

Chicago I'm making a bold prediction that they'll lose 5 of the next 7. I see them losing to Minnesota this week. Between the Lions, Giants and Niners one of them will beat them. They lose to The Packers, They lose to LA in order for the Rams to secure a playoff bye and first seed, and then lose to Minnesota. To me the jury is still out on them if these are the same old bears or not.

The only game that makes me nervous is Atlanta, but since we play them in Lambeau I like our chances. We'll expose Minnesota soon enough as well as Chicago. Knowing how Detroit always likes to play us tough for some reason, I expect them to try to throw everything at us in attempts to play spoiler.

I say we win out with maybe potentially one more loss.
