Who challenges us for the NFC West title this year | Page 2

LBSI9ers · 2012-02-14T04:58:21-08:00

We have gone from the NFC least to the NFC beast. In order for us to stay ahead and dominate our team has to evolve. Which team is our biggest threat and why? I think our run defense is so strong we can stop the Seahawks. Rams are recovering but with a huge draft hall could reshape like us. But I thinkargue Cards are te team we should worry about. They are great on defense and offense is developing. JH has a lot of work cut out with our upcoming schedule. Last years schedule was probably hard given the traveling, but this year it could be harder. We have talked a lot about NO, the packers, Giants, and Lions. But we have to win in our own back yard. The NFC West may be the best in football next year.

This. Let's not have a strong finish erase the fact that both SEA and AZ were god awful through the beginning and midway points of the season.

These teams have talent, but I don't see them challenging us.

If anything, I go with SEA. I hate Carroll and they dont' have a QB but that homefield advantage is always a huge boon for them.

Arizona has some talent but they also have a lot of questions. Defense is suspect (time of possession for opposing offenses was second only to the abysmal Colts) and the offense can't move the ball consistently.

If AZ gets Manning, then that's a different story.

Still early w/ FA & Draft coming but both the Cards & Seattle looke much improved at the end of the season. Rams have way to much to catch up with.

Seahawks have a very good front line and strong secondary. Their QB situation is weak - all in all they'll place 2nd in the division and give us the toughest competition from the other 3 teams in the NFC West.

That said, we'll sweep the division.

The good news is we'll probably only get 1 division game early on, so we'll deal with them at the end of the year just like we did in 2011.

The last two games of the season could have very easily been trap games had it not been for a #2 seed push. I think most good teams do what is required to get it done. I don't think many on here expected 3-0 after losing to the Cards.

And hopefully the NFC West gets the reputation of being a tough division and not some garbage division.

The Seahawks??? This is a QB driven league and unless they got a new QB that I wasn't aware of I think they come in 3rd in the division.

I think all 3 teams will be much improved and should all give us tough competition to go along with our harder schedule this year. Still a lot will change before the season starts... with the draft and free agency.

A safe guess would be:
49ers 10-6 to 11-5
Seattle 7-9 to 9-7
Cardinals 7-9 to 9-7
Rams 6-10 to 8-8
