After Week 5, Who Saw This Coming?

[AROS]

Seahawks 3-2
Cardinals 2-3
49ers 2-3
Rams 1-4

Weird year, so far.

Not even remotely.

I didn't expect the Cards to be this frisky, but the Niners starting slow, and the Rams' age and injury proneness were part of my argument for Seattle winning 10+ games. That said, I'm much less confident in that win prediction than I was before the season.

Other than the 49ers, I’m not surprised.

Seahawks beat three average to below average teams the first three weeks
The Cardinals having two wins is not shocking as there is talent on that team
The Rams only having one win is also not shocking because they have lost a lot of players to retirement/free agency and are injured.

My preseason prediction was the Cards would finish second in the NFCW, and the Rams fourth. First and third would be Seahawks or Niners, with health down the stretch being the factor that determines which is champ.

Seems reasonable to me.

Had us at 12-5. Overly optimistic for sure but, I didn’t expect this O-line to be this damn bad.

Or…the defense to look like previous years D.

I believe in MM but, it’s apparent that it will take time.

Nobody did, there's no way someone saw those records. While I'll take the 3-2, yesterday was a gut punch. Unless we somehow beat the Niners on Thursday, who knows what the hell to think of this team? Then again, this was supposed to be a transition year. Clearly this team has a LONG way to go.

All home teams in the NFC West losing yesterday was also a little odd.

Painfully so, I thought we would be 4-1 after the Giants game yesterday....this one burns me inside.

Haven't been shocked by a loss and/or the way it came about like this for a long time but looking back at how we won and who we won against, it's actually not that surprising. All 3 wins where stinkers at least in parts also.
There's a lot missing. That 'standard' they keep talking about is either not met or they have a very different definition
