Obviously this season isn't over yet and there's still the draft and free agency, but if you were to look ahead, how do you think this division is stacking up for the reasonably foreseeable future? Lions and Packers have had a ton of injuries this year, Vikings have some good wide outs and a tough defense to play against that isn't going anywhere. I actually don't expect the Packers to take much of a step back next year, as long as they have Rodgers they'll always be competitive. Their defensive coordinator is quite good, and whichever coach they hire will take a backseat to whatever Rodgers wants to do anyway. The Bears' ascendancy doesn't equate to the Packers being made irrelevant imo. All it means is that our two matchups against them every year are no longer automatic losses for the Bears. The weakest team is obviously the Lions. Matt Stafford is on the books until 2022, he's always been very beatable. Matt Patricia hasn't exactly worked miracles his first season. But assuming better health for our rivals and regression to the mean for us, I wouldn't be very surprised if this division is tougher next season
