NFC West

And again, just to go back to the poll question, 49ers 6-1 heading into the bye.

After all the NFC West results in which the Seahawks win, the Rams win, and the Cardinals are the Cardinals, how are you feeling? A is no panic, 6-1, enjoy the bye.

B is a wake-up call.

Atlanta exposed some flaws.

our job, not being biased.

Now let's move on to my bias because the NFC West, unfortunately, took a little bit of a turn yesterday because my Niners, you know, turned the ball over four times.

I don't know any team who can win a football game when you turn the ball over four times.

But we took our first loss, now 6-1.

They go to three and four.

And then, of course, the Seahawks dominated the Chiefs, and now they are at four and three.

So I want to look at the NFC West.

Akeem, from what you saw yesterday and last night, who's the team to beat in this division?

Win that one, hold serve, and suddenly what happened last year is not going to happen again where Seattle's not going to come in your house and snatch the division into one seat away from you and then eventually go ahead and win a Super Bowl.

In the home of an NFC West team, which, as you know, is hosting, along with our AFC West friends across the street, this year's Super Bowl.

They do have both L.A. teams, including also a visit to the Giants and Kansas City.

The one that's a home date against Philadelphia that's currently slated for Sunday Night Football, I imagine, could be flexed because the Eagles at that point in time might be back in a U-Haul up.

It's okay.

Listen, if we go 8-9 and win a bad division and get smoked by the Rams or Seattle or whomever from the NFC West or somebody from the NFC North, I don't care.

I'm still gonna say, you know what? We made the playoffs seven straight years, six straight years.

This is what winning organizations do.

Yes.

NFC West, it would be the Niners.

Yes.

Then Vikings, Bears, Lions, Packers.

49ers 6-1 heading into the bye.

After all the NFC West results in which the Seahawks win, the Rams win, and the Cardinals are the Cardinals, how are you feeling? A is no panic, 6-1, enjoy the bye.

B is a wake-up call.

Atlanta exposed some flaws.

So, no, if you made me say, I think Monday could tell me a lot about who this team is.

Are we at a point now where we're comfortable saying the NFC North is the best division in football? I know you and I were a little hesitant moving off of that because the three teams in the NFC West looked head and shoulders above.

The Niners, it feels like injuries are catching up.

We'll get to that in a minute.

But I would either say Carolina or Atlanta.

I'm going to say no, because any of them, it wouldn't shock me if any of them come out on top of it.

And then the NFC West, San Francisco.

Yes, I think San Francisco is the best.

Should I feel bad? No, you shouldn't feel bad.

Well, what I feel good about is that I didn't write the post that I thought about writing yesterday, which would have been, hey, forget about the Seahawks making the wild card or making some dark horse run at the NFC West title.

They might not even make the playoffs, everybody, the way they're playing.

Absolutely.

So I think Sean McVay got back to the roots, back to what their offense truly is, and I think that's exactly how you have to play going forward.

So, I mean, if I was the rest of the NFC West, if I was the rest of of just the NFC in general, I'd go, oh, shit.

Oh, man.

They got their formula back, right? Right.
