The NFC West had the surprising dark horse that stunned the NFL last year with the Cardinals getting to the Superbowl and almost winning. This was a great story last year seeing Kurt Warner leading a different team to the Superbowl. Another great story last year was the 49ers firing Mike Nolan and letting Mike Singletary run the team. The team went on winning five of their last nine games and then gave the head coach job officially to Singletary. I think Singletary might be able to help the Niners quite a bit this year. The Seahawks should be recharged this year with getting TJ Houshmandzadeh and a healthy Matt Hasselbeck. As for the Rams, this may the last chance for Marc Bulger before they start looking for another QB. Who will win the Wild Wild West?
My Prediction: Cardinals barely repeat as division champions. It was impressive that the Cardinals got to the Superbowl but I think they won't be able to repeat that success. The loser of the Superbowl usually goes into decline the following years and the Cardinals will be no different. I think the 49ers could catch them but will most likely finish second. I think Singletary will need one more season before the 49ers will be a good team. Plus the 49ers still need a good quarterback to run the show instead of Hill or Smith. I think the Seahawks will need a season or so to get good again especially under new head coach Jim Mora. As for the Rams, they will likely have another horrible year again. Marc Bulger seems to be a quarterback that has past his few good years in the NFL and they need to move on.
