Who wins the NFC West?

[HaroldSeattle]

As the division champs two year running, Seahwks are the favorites. However, really tough division. Cards are right there if Palmer can stay healthy, if he gets hurt, not so much. Rams could surprise some folks if Foles plays well. 49ers look like they are in a free fall, but until they play you can not just discount them. It will come down to the coaching staff more then any thing for the 49ers.

Seattle enters the redzone against your teams defense. They proceed to lineup Graham on the outside, Lynch is right behind RW, and RW is signaling they might be thinking read-option.

Your the defensive coordinator about to call what coverage to deploy. Do you call up the safeties to stack the box against the run? Do you commit a player pre-snap to chase RW down if he keeps the ball on a fake to Lynch and runs to the outside. Do you tell them to commit one of those safeties to double cover Graham instead? Go.

Your swiss cheese OL allows pressure on RW quickly, so I press man and bracket Graham. stack the box and use Bethea to spy RW. Everyone else on the front 7 is supposed to key in on Lynch until his moment passes.

I hopeful the OL is better this year, at the very least more healthy. Better health= better OL. Injury plague starters have been killing the OL for the last few years, now the Seahawks have some young guys that play ever week.

Last three match ups were in Seattle and two of those you won on a prayer and one of those was not legitimate. Like I said it'll be refreshing not having to play you guys in front of 60,000 bandwagon hipsters for once.

Don't worry Seahawks fans, Lambeau Field is not as bad as it seems. If the 49ers can beat them over and over there, so can the Seahawks.

My thoughts exactly. It would be sweet to beat them at their place. Looking forward to that game for sure.

I remember at the end of that season where the refs should have called pass interference in the GB at SEA game, the GB fans around here in Iowa said, "If the referees got it right, GB would be 2nd seed over SF." I responded, "If GB beat SF at Lambeau, they would be 1st seed as well."

Of course, they responded how it was week 1 and that was so long prior. Of course, they forgot that the referee missed call happened just a few weeks later. I am one that likes the 49ers to go to GB in playoffs, that way, if the 49ers win, the fans can't pull the "If it was at Lambeau" card.

Shoot the 49ers been giving the Packers a ass whooping these last few years. Didn't matter where it was played.

SF and Seattle conspiring together huh? I guess GB has that effect.

 

[BusSport]

Rams! All they were missing was a non-injured QB, and they got it now with Foles!

Both teams sneer at finesse teams like the Packers.

Seattle really only needs about 5 minutes to beat Green Bay anyway as we've seen recently. Maybe 10 minutes in Lambeau.

If your not a finesse team then why did you throw the ball at the one yard line?

That was a diversion. They won't see it coming when we play them in the SB this year.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Because they got cute. I doubt they make that mistake again.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Until someone beats them in the standings, Seattle has to be the favorite. I think a healthy Cardinals team will be right there all season. The Niners are in soft rebuild mode & the Rams really haven't improved enough for 2016 to be considered more than an 9-7 or 8-8 team.

 

[nebearsfan70]

Its not like I root against the Cardinals. Of course I will support them unless they play GB.

...or when GB sucks again.

 

[nebearsfan70]

Seattle takes it.

 

[The Derski]

...or when GB sucks again.

Yeah maybe I'll root for the Diamondbacks when they're relevant too.. Wait....

I think this year the bigger contest is which team comes in 2nd in the NFCW.
Seattle should again win the West.

Seattle should win but probably won't.
Best off season moves - puts St. Louis up there.
On a scale of 1-10 I have a confidence level of 3 on this pick.....
