NFC West...

Seahawks and Rams are in a group of teams that could be listed as best in the NFL thus far....meanwhile, the Niners somehow went on the road and beat both of them, and are 3-0 in the division.

The Niners schedule is still being talked about as soft, but I don't really see the Browns and Giants as easy outs. Especially with both of those being goad games for the Niners.

After the bye, we are home for the Saints so we should be 6-2 going into a two game stretch that very well may decide the division, at the Niners and then home for the Seahawks. If we drop both of those, I don't see us winning it. If we win both, that'll put us in the drivers seat. If we split, whoever we lose to will be in a great position.

Hidden thing to watch out for because of how this division was decided last year and three teams being 5-2 right now: the Rams are the only team with an uncommon loss (Eagles). The Niners have two with the Bucs/Jags and the Seahawks have one with the Bucs.

If we can split with the Seahawks and Niners and sweep the Cardinals, and the Seahawks can win in SF later this year, us beating the Bucs could have a major impact if we can beat the later this season.

We? Who are you calling we….?

Me neither

I’m dating myself here but as a kid I only knew of the Cardinals and Colts as the St Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Colts.

The 70s were wild times, man. Wild times.

So there.

The Rams have had our number even when they were terrible under Fisher. They are in a lot of our heads way more than the 9ers who are seen as a pesky peer. Theres the underlying assumption that they’ll win barring season ending quarterback injury, after which JimmyG would be downgraded to yet another pesky peer.

They may be in Fans' heads but what about the players?

They shouldn’t be, but the trend still persists after more than a decade. The collective attitude toward the rams is as the implied winner, the 9ers as the annoying peer and the cards as the special needs brother you have to include.

That was so long ago I was like WHAT??? St. LOUIS?? Wow, 1987, I did not know the football cardinals were also in St. Louis. So the city had two sports teams with the same name… that must of been confusing

Not that long ago I am still breathing, as far as confusion, no Baseball and Football seasons are different enough, besides other than a few players and a five-year stretch or so when Don Coryell was there they were kind of a forgotten commodity, Cardinals in Baseball were much more popular.

100%. The players almost certainly don’t know/care about that history.

They just need to keep winning games and not worry about shit like this.

The Lambs just traded for a CB from Tennessee. The CB was in his last year of the contract. I'm pretty sure the Titans will do the same with RG Kevin Zeitler. Hope the Hawks are at least in on him. He might be a hot commodity. A few teams need help pretty badly on the interior OL.

This is the way. I hope the locker room is absolutely on fire for the rams game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

There's zero chance they won't be massively pumped up for the Clams game. And F the Rams.
Rams are not in my head at all. They're overrated.

When you party your ass off Saturday night and go to bed in first place, wake up at noon the next day still high and drunk af and find out you’re in third.

Maybe Tyler Shough will surprise and beat the Lambs this weekend. Probably not, that team is just bad.

Always an excuse when the Rams or Niners lose. Always a downplay when the Hawks WIN.

This type of thinking is so tired.

Yup. If the mighty Santa Clara 29er or LA Clams lose, it's because of injury, every time.

If the South Alaska Seahawks win........it's never because they just played better than the opponent.

I would give our team right now the edge over even a healthy 49ers team.
