NFC North not as Clear Cut as Everybody Thinks

The Vikings made a good move, unlike drafting Christian Ponder, and picked up Donovan McNabb.  Donovan might only be there for the short term, but in my opinion he instantly makes them a playoff contender.  I don't think they will be going to the Super Bowl as Leslie Frazier is not Andy Reid.  The NFC North will be a lot tighter than people expect as all four teams (Vikings, Packers, Bears, Lions) have a shot at the playoffs.  That's right I said it, the Detroit Lions could be a playoff team if they can strengthen their defensive backfield and Matt Stafford can play for a full year.  I love their head coach Jim Schwartz.  He is a defensive minded guy who knows how to get his guys to play full tilt.  Have fun trying to run or pass with Suh and now Nick Fairley (first round draft pick from Auburn) on the defensive line.  Not sure if I see it in the cards for the Lions to land Nnamdi Asomugha, but that would sure up this defense in a second.   The problem is I don't think Nnamdi would ever go to the Lions as he has been with a losing team his whole career.  The Lions are in much better shape than the Raiders simply because they don't have Al Davis in their front office, but I still don't see Nnamdi going there.  It should be a much better division and one to watch as long as the key guys don't get hurt.
