POLL Which NFC West team would you least like to face in 2016?

[HammerDown]

...and why?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I am gonna go out on a limb and say the Rams. That DL would just eviscerate KC's questionable guards, more than likely, and that's a very rough way to go about things on offense when the defense can get consistent interior pressure with 2-3 guys if they feel like it. If Goff is a even a semi-functioning QB, the Rams become probably the worst matchup for the Chiefs of the four, imo. Not saying they're better than the Cards or Hawks, but the Rams are pretty strongly equipped to shut down what makes the Chiefs' offense function a bit more than the DL's for the Cards or Hawks allow.

 

[Broncos6482]

The Seahawks. Russell Wilson's ability to move around could be the counter to Denver's pass rush (although it didn't work for Cam in the Super Bowl). The 49ers are a dumpster fire, the Rams still have a huge question mark at qb, and I think the Broncos pass rush would cause Carson Palmer to curl up in the fetal position.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Still Seattle

This is still a QB Driven league, and Wilson is still by far the greatest threat against any defense in that division

Arizona a close 2nd

 

[eaglesnut]

Cardinals. Best defense. Best passing game.

 

[Judge Fudge]

From a team that reps the NFC west. It is hard to say.

Zona is tough but Los Angeles always ALWAYS brings there "A GAME" vs the hawks

 

[cdumler7]

I would go the Cardinals. Looks like they finally might have a pass rush to go with that incredible secondary. Offensively they are still a top-7 team in the league. You combine those and they definitely can beat you multiple ways. Seattle is a close 2nd though as I hate facing Russell Wilson. He seems to escape about 5 sacks a game and make that one play that you just thought your team had him trapped and he turns it into a back breaking play.

Tough pick between 'Zona and Seattle. Though, neither matched up well with Carolina, and the Broncos punked them in the Super Bowl, so I guess I don't really worry about either.

Maybe the Rams then, but I think they picked the wrong QB. I think Wentz will end up better than Goff.

Kaep in Kelly's system is intriguing, but not enough to make SF much of a threat, yet.

Well to be fair, the Panthers got 11 turnovers in those 2 games. That helps a lot.

The Seahawks needed about 3 more minutes and they would have won that game despite being down 31-0.

When the Rams played the Chiefs in 2014, the Chiefs won 34-7 and the thought going into that game was that the Rams might get pressure on Smith.

Worst matchup of the 4 is Arizona imo because when KC struggles, its against elite QBs.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Seattle.

Not because they scare me more than the others, I simply hate to lose to them.....

Having the Wee One beat you is down right aggravating.....

 

[Tainthappening]

Easily Seahawks...

(checks Packers Schedule for which NFC West team they play)

God "#%!%!$ - we play the Seahawks again this year.

Kidding, I already knew that. Seahawks have a good club and will for some time thanks to Wilson and their GM.

Hope for a good game again this year and no injuries

 

[Number7]

Arizona or Seattle. Both will be really good.

I don't think anyone minds playing the Niners or Rams.

 

[shopson67]

Cards. Rams have faired pretty well against Seattle of late, and the Cards could be even better this year than last.

 

[SonnyCID]

The Rams.
They are uniquely equipped with he front side pressure to contain Wilson, and the pressure up the gut to force him out of the pocket.

 

[Thruthefog]

Not afraid of any of these bitch teams.

 

[PDay8810]

cards by just that much

 

[Bolts]

Seahawks slightly over Arizona, need to see what Goff can do before I put the Rams over either of those teams.

 

[Blitzville]

I went with LA and Arizona. I think this is the year that Seattle gets exposed.

LOL... Carson Palmer curled up in the fetal position..... That was good ...
