THE NFC WEST the best division in football. Just a paragraph or two write up will suffice. I'm not trying to do an entire scouting report or essay on this.
(1) LA RAMS (2-0)
The injuries are starting to pile up at runningback, so that could pose problems for them in the future. But in the end they still have a massive upgrade at QB, and Jalen Ramsey at CB. The other teams in the division are lacking at CB giving the Rams a huge advantage.
(2) AZ CARDINALS (2-0)
I posted earlier in this off-season that Murray could make a big leap in year 3 and tilt the scales, it looks like that may be the case. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, though. They have the mojo going right now.
(3) SF 49ERS (2-0)
Not necessarily wins over strong opponents in the first 2 games, but they held up extremely well on the outside despite their injuries at corner against Philly which I was impressed by. If they continue to play that well on the back end they might be able to have a winning record at the end of the year despite being the most injured team in the division every year.
(4) SEA SEAHAWKS (1-1)
The Seahawks are trotting out a high school scheme on defense, it is utterly laughable if Pete thinks they can win anything this year playing a basic zone with 3 linebackers on the field. LBs consistently being matched up with WRs, dropping DEs into coverage, and when that predictably fails telegraph a blitz from Jamal Adams. Ha ha. Also failed to contain in the run game, gap integrity is suspect at best. Pete's good for 2 or 3 of these "How the hell did you lose the game up 2 scores in the 4th" a year.
