Yes but we are not talking about potential we are talking about if there was a game tomorrow who would win. With that said I would choose Andre Johnson

Yah I don't fault you. I would take Calvin, even though I know watching him play long enough will eventually blind me. It will be worth it.

The NFC North takes the lead on the strength of Charles Woodson!

That sums up my feelings really well, good post.
It's not that people are trying to put all the stock in two guys and just voting for them two, but you cannot ignore the type of play-makers these two are, when each week the defenses were geared to stop only them. You can only imagine them on the same team, with personnel all around them.
Also that was a good description of the NFC North Defense vs the AFC North Offense, I don't see them scoring nearly enough to keep up.

Jay Cutler wishes he could have sniffed the Heisman. I can't wait for Cutler to throw Woodson, like, three picks this year.

I did my part and voted for the North. I think that offense is way too powerful even for that defense.

This honestly is a very close matchup. I chose the AFCN because I am a homer. Oh well. You cannot do wrong with any team. I do believe that the NFCE is better than the NFCN.

Ohh, both sides have 62 votes, the same number I wore for football. Due to that, I will give out plus rep to all of the posts in this thread until I can't give out anymore, starting with the first post!
EDIT: Hooooray for the first four posts in this thread!

I also think the AFC North would have alot of trouble running the ball vs that D-line, and would have a much tougher time moving the ball then the NFC North would...I think AD or Calvin would have at least one huge play in them to change the dynamics of the game, the AFC North doesn't really have anyone like that on the offense.
It would be low scoring, but the AFCN wouldn't score more points then the NFCN to me.

And guys like Derrick Mason, Hines Ward and Chad Johnson have made a living exploiting zone coverages.

Jay Cutler shouldn't even be the starter. Aaron Rodgers is better. Cutler's stats are inflated because they threw the ball every play.

Oh no, not Derrick Mason and Hines Ward in a fantasy battle, that's epic stuff at WR right there...What was I thinking bringing up Calvin Johnson and Greg Jennings.

I just voted, and for AFC N, and it broke the tie! Holy crap... Well the AFC North's lines are what did it for me. I would've had them winning it all anyway, even if the East was up there (just so you guys no I'm not making it a homer-fest, lol)

My bad, I thought we were trying to figure out who would win in a hard fought game. All imaginary.
I didn't know it was solely focusing on hype, intangibles and fantasy #'s.
I don't doubt Johnson/Jennings would have success. But at the same time, my point is still Valid.
Mason/Ward have made a heck of a career exploiting Zone defenses and the NFCN is a cover2 based defense.

How can you make the determination that the NFC North would play a Cover 2?
