    Not surprising

    NFC is weak, just a few teams that are good. Seattle one of them.

          Seahawks look tough so far. Wilson looking like he's peaking right now.

              It's only week 3 and they just lost two defensive starters. You guys are getting desperate.

                Seattle is FINALLY using Russell Wilson properly, like using play action on 1st and 2nd down, and even using no huddle that they only did in 4th quarter when trailing.

                    Seahawks defense is pretty putrid. Russ is gonna have to cook more than Chef Boyardee.

                      Every other play a Seahawk was goin down against the Pats.

                      The had the Pats on the ropes; couldn't get a first down to ice the game, and almost gave the game away.

                      Had them -4.5 on Sun Nite.

                      They made me sweat unnecessarily.

                      Don't think "Pistol" Pete Carroll is an upper tier coach.

                      Not impressed with this team.

                        Seattle is what GB usually is. Superstar QB and C+ for the rest of the team. If they had their loud ass crowd then that would give them a bump, but this is the year from hell.

                        Tier 1 : GB
                        Tier 2 : Seahawks and Rams in no particular order
                        Tier 3 : Saints and Bucs

                        I'd put SF in Tier 2, but isn't Bosa out for the year? That would finish them. I don't think GB is any better then Sea or the Rams, but the NFC West is so tough that GB will probably finish as the #1 seed. Crowd at Lambeau won't help, but 10 degrees in January might

                          NFC doesn't have a chance this season, no one plays any defense and the 49ers lost too many on that side of the ball

                          Packers, Cardinals, and Rams look better than the Hawks

                                Rodgers needs to tell GB to penetrate off after the season. New Orleans was right on the doorstep of a SB with a strong draft a few years ago with Kamara and Lattimore. GB was in the final 4 last year and spent their first picks on a back up QB and 3rd string RB?

                                Rodgers needs to walk. Their front office stiffed him AGAIN. If they would've drafted some defensive help and a WR then they'd be the clear cut favorite. They even let Blake Martinez walk and hes good for 150 tackles a year

                                  They're interesting, but I like the Rams +900 to win the NFC

                                    +1200 at BOL

                                    If you like the Rams to win the NFC West you can get +350 at Bovada where they are the 4th favorite

                                      Dallas will beat them and get the #1 seed, division schedule is too brutal.

                                        Zona certainly flying under the radar so far.. I need to see a few more games before I crown them.. Solid though so far.

                                          Bosa out for season, DE Solomon Thomas too.

                                          They lost the star and depth.

                                              Got my Niners to win NFC again. 9ers backup D-Line is significantly better than Seahawks.

                                              Only worry about GB locking up seed #1. Lambeau field conditions during playoff is something to reckon with.

                                                the thing about seattle, they have a bad defense, but it seems that is the case in the nfl today, team defense are not on the field for most games

                                                  Their depth will be okay with Blair coming back; Kinlaw will just need to also step up more which he has done okay so far.

                                                  Overall, they will adjust bringing in more blitzes than usual. Honestly though, too much emphasis is placed on the D. Mark my words, the blueprint is now going to shift to offense outscoring opponents. In Shanahan I believe, especially at full strength by week 5 and Jimmy G will catch fire after 1 full season of playbook under belt; he was lights out without Kittle, Deebo and Aiyuk week 2 before he got hurt.

                                                    I think the defense is somewhere better than what they are showing. They have a good secondary, they just haven't been able to play together. Diggs got ejected in the Pats game, and Dunbar missed yesterdays game. They have four pro bowl caliber players in their secondary. Their issue is they have no one to rush the passer. I think the Seahawks make a move for a pass rusher, knowing this is their season to go for it. As teams fade, guys will become available.

Diggs got ejected in the Pats game, and Dunbar missed yesterdays game. They have four pro bowl caliber players in their secondary. Their issue is they have no one to rush the passer. I think the Seahawks make a move for a pass rusher, knowing this is their season to go for it. As teams fade, guys will become available.
                                                      Jamal was also not playing so it's hard to assess. And though 9ers played the lowly Giants I was still impressed with their backup-backup secondary performance (because hey you're still playing an NFL team). At best let's say the D is equal.

                                                      Looking at offense, gotta tip my hat to Russell but I don't think they can sustain this kind of offensive output given Carson's injury history (and Homer filling in didn't look impressive one bit). Think people are sleeping on McKinnon and Aiyuk potential (not to mention Reed) which I think is significantly better than last year. Verdict still out on Hasty but I think they trying to conceal him from other teams during the beginning.

                                                            Bears got a QB now.... they could easily win with that defense.
