We've heard the sports media brainwash fans into believing the NFC West has been the weakest division for years. The division has participated in three NFC Championships and two Super Bowls since 2005. Seattle Seahawks versus Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005 proved to be a shame as the referees completely botched what was the Seahawks first time participating in the Super Bowl. Then in 2010 the Steelers and Cardinals put together possibly the best Super Bowl performances in NFL history. Those who criticized the history and tradition of the NFC West since 2002 is sadly mistaken. This is the division of the 5x Super Bowl Champion 49ers and the St. Louis Rams "Greatest Show on Turf" historic football teams led by All Pro legends and NFL Hall of Famers.
Now let's take the history bundle it up and package it with the now, take a deep look at the NFC West and you will find the NFL's hardest hitting division. Yes, the Steelers and Ravens rule the defense of the recent past but those days are diminishing and the 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals represent the new wave of NFL defense. Cardinals defensive "Red Storm" is loaded with talent ask Tom Brady and the fans in New England how many New York Giants Super Bowl flashbacks they had in week two as Darnell Dockett was breathing down Brady's neck. Have a conversation with Jerry Jones and Tony Romo about how the Cowboys only managed 7pts in their week two trip to the Great Northwest. Challenge the Seahawks uniquely built secondary and find out why their called the "Legion of Boom". Travel North to Wisconsin and find out what the cheeseheads think of the San Francisco 49ers after week one "They Are Who We Thought They Were". Patrick Willis led the NFL's best defense versus the potent offensive weapons of Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers and left a trail of melted Velveeta at Lambeau Field.
You heard of East Coast versus West Coast bias in the media and the NFL well here's the truth. 49ers, Seahawks, and Cardinals have three f the best and most gifted defenses in the NFL. Don't think for one second teams from the NFC South, NFC North and NFC East are going to come West of the Mississippi River and blow out candles at CandleStick Park, march into Arizona and steal water out of the dessert or visit Seattle and quiet the 12th Man. New Orleans Saints quest for a Super Bowl repeat died in Seattle 2011 buried beneath the rubble of the greatest NFL run in history and the Saints haven't recovered. The New York football Giants played the real 2012 Super Bowl in San Francisco and still thank St. Francis for a overtime miracle fumble. Like Cam Newton (2011), Robert Griffin III suffered his first NFL lost to a NFC West team falling to the St. Louis Rams in week two after plowing through the Drew Brees and the Saints in week one.
In the NFC West if you want to play in a shootout play the Rams besides that welcome to the new "Red and Blue Division". Welcome to the NFC West last one out turn the lights off, or you will be leaving in a casket your choice. Come hard or don't come at all it's a new season.
