The Seattle Seahawks could have won two Super Bowls in a row, all the had to do was run the ball.
But they lived with their choice, and were the NFC West Champs last year going 12-4.
The Seahawks are still the best team in this division, and they added Jimmy Graham??!! Come on!
With Russell Wilson doing his thing now has one of the best targets to throw too.
And if that fails, hand it off to Beastmode, Marshawn Lynch.
Their defense is still tops in the NFL. We will see if Cam Chancellor and Earl Thomas come to contract agreements, because that defense needs those two games, who are both enforcers on the field.
The Arizona Cardinals are good, close to being great.
Their problem in 2014, the injury bug. Carson Palmer went down, along with Andre Ellington late in the year.
Now it’s 2015, and those guys are healthy.
The Cardinals went 11-5, but didn’t have anyone in the playoffs.
They can compete with the Seahawks for the NFC West title.
The San Francisco 49ers, what an offseason.
It was the worst offseason I have ever seen any team endure in my life.
Retirement after retirement, trade after trade, DUI after DUI. They lost Gore on offense, and lost coach Jim Harbaugh to Michigan.
I don’t think the 49ers will be as bad as people think, but they won’t be good, not in the NFC.
Colin Kaepernick needs to throw the ball more or start using his legs.
He is a nightmare when he gets outside the pocket, use it to your advantage.
This might be a long year for 49ers fans who have seen their team in the Super Bowl in as little as three years ago.
Finally, the St. Louis Rams. The Rams traded Sam Bradford to the Eagles for Nick Foles, as mentioned before.
The Rams drafted running back Todd Gurley to be their future back. Their defense, led by Robert Quinn is stacked.
Their defense could win them some games this upcoming year.
Nick Foles will have to be that QB that threw fro 7 touchdowns in one game to help the defense out for a chance to make some noise in the NFC West.
As I said, the Seattle Seahawks are still the best in this division.
I see them winning the NFC West, but it will be close.
Those pesky Cardinals will do whatever they can to take that title away.
It has been a LONG offseason, but the wait is over.
Football is finally here!
Let all the NFL fans rejoice in another great season and hope your team is the one lifting the Lombardi Trophy by year’s end.
