Ya but I think they'll have a short at 3rd and an outside shot at 2nd this year. Really depends on the health of the team and the health of the others in the Norse.
A nice start would be to simply move out of dead-last place this season. It looks (to me) like the other 3 teams in the NFCN got better this off-season too. It wasn't just us getting better. If we could start gaining ground and move out of last place this year, THAT, would be a nice first step to becoming relevant again in the NFL.
That is the first step, IMHO. We are kind of like Detroit was years ago. The Lions were always the last place team. Now it's us. Gotta get out of the cellar this year. I think we have a shot at doing it. That moving out of last place would begin some momentum that the team could build on in 2019. And it would help lose some of the stench of being perennial losers here in Chicago. LOL, some teams shoot for a Super Bowl win... and here in Chicago we just hope we can move into 3rd place in our division. Baby steps, are at least SOMETHING positive.
And maybe we are even better than that this year. Too early to tell yet. But that Packers game right out of the chute would be a HUGE win. If that happens, I figure the team got a whole lot better and it's not just us fans drinking the kool aid. Anything is possible if Nagy can knock off the Packers in that 1st game. But it's a pipe dream right now.
