NFC West break down
Oct 12, 2007 | 4:54PM | report this

Ok so I'm kinda bored and I thought I'd breakdown the NFC West and say what I think about these guys.

 

Arizona Cardinals 3-2 1st in division

The Cardinals haven't looked all that bad at times this year, and actually they are much better than I expected them to be and they're in first but only because of a botched handoff. The passing game will be a threat no matter who is throwing the ball with two freak receivers like Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin your always going to have something thru the air. Then to add to that James is running the ball much better this year than last with almost 450 yards on about 110 carries and 3 td's. To go with that the defense has looked a lot better this year as well they've still alowed 110 points but it's better than what they were at last year and they can atleast stop the run they are 14th in yards allowed per game. They are however 23rd in pass yards allowed and 20th in points per game allowed. With Matt out for the year Warner is going to take the snaps from here on out congratulations you now have a has been at QB but he'll still be more productive than Tim Rattay.

 

Seattle Seahawks 3-2 2nd in division

Seattle has looked really good and really bad at the same time.  They're playing a lot worse than they should be, not converting on 3rd downs and letting everyone else convert on 3 downs. They also aren't scoring Td's when they should be and haven't been able to put away games like they should. With Mike Holmgren looking like he's never heard of the two minute drill they've had a hard time after the two minute time has showed up on the clock. Shaun Alexander is running a lot like he did last year as well like a little girl, but the O-line also doesn't look like they know how to run block but the pass blocking is looking very nice. On a good note the defense looks a million times better than last year only allowing 74 points. The pass defense is 17th and that's after playing the Bengals and the Cardinals two very pass oriented teams with two extremly talented recievers. Last week they just played a much better team in the Steelers but the problem was that they went into the game thinking that you could tell from the fist few drives the Hawks weren't into the game and letting up about 3 3 and 20 conversions didn't help. Then again the offense couldn't stay on the field either. I could break them down for hours upon hours but that seems good enough for now.

 

San Fransisco 49ers 2-3 3rd in division

When everyone started to say they would win the division I knew they would be a dissapointment. Alex Smith seems as though he has taken a little step back from last season he's only thrown one touchdown pass and his completion percentage is at about 51 percent. He's only thrown one pick but this passer rating is down to 66 percent. He also isn't even in the top 32 in pass yards but then again he's only played 4 games this season. Frank Gore has also taken a step back being 17th in rushing yards, he's fumbled twice already and he's averaging only 61 yards per game. His 3 td's have him tied for 4th in the nfl for rushing td's but that's his only bright spot. Now to continue to rip on this terrible offense they have a 24% conversion on third downs which is awful. The defense has also been fairly over rated because they are 25th in rush yards allowed 21st in pass yards allowed 19th in points allowed and they only have 3 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles, but defensivly on third downs they are looking very good only allowing opponents to convert 39% of the time.

 

St. Louis Rams 0-5 last in division

The Rams are just plain bad as I thoroughly explained in my last blog. Injujuries have just destroyed this team. Not that they would be all that much better off if there were none. I didn't think that this was that good of a team to start the season but maybe good enough for 2nd in the west. I didn't see them being just plain awful though. The greatest show on turf has turned into the laughing stock on turf. The offense is not scoring at all they have only 5 passing Td's and not a single rushing touchdown. When not a single runner on your team has so much as smelled the endzone in your first 5 games you probably haven't won too many games as is the case with these Rams. When Gus Ferotte is an improvement at the Qb position you know your starting Qb isn't having a great year. Yes Bulger is hurt but still the guy that took ten years to throw one pick last year has twice as many int's as td's that's no good. I called that he would have an off year but I didn't suspect at all that Steven Jackson would be as bad as he is. he is also hurt now but before his injury he had 69 rushes for a wopping 233 yards and an average of 3.4 yards per carry (BAD). As I already mentioned he hasn't recorded a td yet and has two lost fumbles and a longest run of 14 yards. The line hasn't been too terrible letting up 12 sacks which is right around middle of the pack. The defense is very bad just as most of us thought they've let up the 5th most points with 137 and they've only scored 70. This is just not a good team hey better luck next year.
