Wow, what a crazy week injury wise for the NFC west... A continuing trend!
Palmer goes down with an ACL injury, Willis who's toe injury now has landed him on IR, then Mebane tearing his hammy....
All huge, huge hits. I feel as though SF will be least affected because Borland and Whilhoite have really stepped up and played well.
In any case. As things currently stand today.
Record Conference Division
AZ 8-1 6-0 2-0
Sea 6-3 4-2 0-1
SF 5-4 4-3 1-2
STL 3-6 3-5 2-2
Detroit at AZ
Sea at KC
SF at NYG
Den at STL
Detroit at Arizona. Detroit, hands down has the best Defense in the league. I mean wow, #1 in total defense only allowing 283.4 yds per game. #1 in points against, only allowing 15.8 ppg... Arizona's offense sputters and takes off, it's not one that is consistent throughout the game. I am one of the people that believe Stanton is a rather large drop off from Palmer. His first win he played poorly and got bailed out by the Special teams. He had another horrible performance in Denver and a good performance against SF. In his last game he had two drives, one TD and one three and out. A total of 5 plays. Not big enough sample size for me to say he is the next big thing. In any case, I think AZ loses this week as much as it pains me to say it. I dont think we are going to match up well with Detroit unless our Defense can play their best game of the season to date....
Seattle and KC... KC, another team with an absolute ferocious pass rush, and a fantastic home field advantage. With the #12 ranked Defense according to PFF, and the #11 ranked offense. That's a strong team... In no way am I trying to put Seattle down but I think they lose this,. They're performances on the road have been pretty mediocre this season, and Mebane is a payer that I feel is strongly needed in this game.
SF and NYG..... Well, I really dont have much to say here other than the Giants are a mess. A four game losing streak, and have already given up 247 points this year. Ouch, they just can't compete this the talent on the 49ers. The only way I see SF losing this game is if they actually give it away, and I think the team is too hungry for that.
STL and Denver, well... Peyton.....
I think SF is the only team that wins this week in the division. That's a scary thought. But it wouldn't be the end of the world to me.
