Who has a tougher division...

[Fucky McFuckerson]

^I think the reason you're right is because the NFC West doesn't have teams as good as the AFC West. Since the NFC West is more mediocre, there's more competition. I dunno if that's what you were getting at or not.

Well if you have a division full of medicore teams and a division full of good teams, wouldnt the LEVEL of competition be the same for inter-diviosion play? They are all gonna be hard fought, close games. So that wouldnt make much sense.

The same thing was said last year and 3 teams ended up .500 or worse. The Cards were supposed to be the pick to win and they ended up LAST in the division. I dont expect them to be much better again this year. The Rams are shaky as best and the recievers are all a year older. They better gear up S-Jack again. The 9ers SHOULD be better, but so shoud the Hawks. The Hawks and Niners are the only ones that made moves that were even mentionalbe in the NFC West and there was really NO major "wow" signings be either squad. Kerney? Davis? Are you kidding me? Better than the ones they replaced? Im not sold....

Which is why I said this whole thread is speculation.

Look, I'm not negrodomous here, there really is no telling who will be better. The Rams, imo, are a sure bet because their offense will be something ferocious. N9ners have a lot of talent and so do the cards. Again, all speculation though.

Whereas in the AFC West, SD is lookin good as last year with Rivers having a yeart under him now, The Broncos made TONS of moves and KC is peaking. I wont even mention the Raiders.

This is the same thing (speculation) as saying the NFC might not be that good cause last year everyone thought they would be better. Who knows...Rivers might be a bust (I personally don't think he's that great), Broncos can go any direction with a young, unproven QB, KC same shit, SD is the best bet but you never know and the raiders suck ass and will continue to suck ass. They might win one or two more games than last year but they will still suck.

Last year, 3 out of 4 teams in the AFC West were vying for a playoff spot till week 16; thats just insane.

Which is why I think it's going to be tougher! All teams are going to be equally as good

Would Seattle even be playoff contneders in the AFC West?

But that isn't the question.

So through all that, you STILL think the NFC West is better

Again, the queston wasn't who was better, it's what division is tougher.

Part of the problem is the original posters vagueness and use of the word "tougher." It obviously can be interpreted different ways.

I agree with Jesse Rice here. That quote just killed it!

afc west 4 sho

Why?

People act like the AFC West is the shit and has always been the shit. As of right now it is one of the best divisions in the league, but that hasn't always been the case and it won't always be the case either. That's what I'm talking about.

As of last year there was one good team, two mediocre teams and one horrible team. That's still better than the NFC West was last year, but still not enough to act like it's the shit.

^^LOL AT YOUR 4 CENTS

AZ CARDINALS ARE GON TAKE IT ALL THE WAY NEXT SEASON MUFUCKAZ!!! LEINART,FITZGERALD,BOLDIN NUFF SAID FOLKS! WHAT YALL KNOW BOUT ADRIAN WILSON??


Alright maybe im exagerating a lil.....haha

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

But Denver, SD, and KC could tear shit up in any other division in the NFL.

This is always the excuse.. The same lame, played-out excuse.

What don't you people understand about there only being 6 games within the division. Count em.. SIX. The other TEN are played OUTSIDE THE DIVISION. So even if their division is tough, why can't they beat out the other 10 teams. Especially since they'd "tear shit up in any other division in the NFL."

Give it a rest.

 

[aboutmydolla$]

AFC WEST no doubt

 

[RAS 925]

owow// w/o a second thought. AFC WEST.. whoever thinks otherwise simply doesn't know football or is just a 49er fan

"And no, I'm not just trying to "build up" Oakland's division to make an excuse to why they suck."

I expected someone to say what you said, which is why I put the above statement in the paragraph that I wrote! The question of this thread is which is tougher, AFC West or NFC West, and I am simply stating that the AFC West has way better teams. Not once did I say that the reason the Raiders suck is because they are in the AFC West, no. I look at this question as a fan of the NFL, and not as a Raider loving, niner-hating fanatic. I suggest you do the same...

The Raiders aren't mediocre, they suck ass, they're horrible, bottom of the barrel, crappy, etc.

You asshole, I know the deal. I'm just trying to sugarcoat it a little bit...

I am not arguing that. I chose AFC West in the poll too.. I'm just saying that the AFC West is not as GREAT as you would like to believe.

Not once did I say that the reason the Raiders suck is because they are in the AFC West, no.

When did I accuse you of that? When I was talking about winning the other 10 games outside the division I was talking about Denver and KC. You said they would dominate any other division, and I said if that were the case they should be beating out the other 10 teams that they have to play every year. On the real, KC and Denver only have to worry about each other and SD in the AFC West. That's really only 4 games and should mean only 4 losses at the most. And if they truly would dominate all the other divisions then they should be able to beat out all or most of the other 10 teams.. Simple as that.

Point being: AFC West is tougher than the NFC West, but you guys are trying to make it seem like the AFC West is untouchable and every team in it (minus Oakland) is better than the best teams of any other division. That's not the case and you all know it.

 

[KOOL_AID]

i dont know why but nfc west games dont intrest me latly i thought the cardz would be better lazt seazon that team haz sum talent

 

[Tony]

^The Cardz better come through this year... they got a yungsta at Qb so they should be fun to watch. We'll see what happens!

Not better, but if KC, Den, or SD got switched to the NFC West, they would at least be the 2nd best team in the division. Personally, I don't think there is a better division in football, and I do think that if you put either of those three teams in any NFC Division, they would at least get 2nd Place.

And you're right in that only 6 games come within the division, but 6 games can EASILY determine the entire season for a team...

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

OK so KC or Denver would be 2nd in any NFC division.. They were tied for 2nd in the AFC West too. So what does that prove?

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

I'm saying at least 2nd, but I'm thinking that SD could win all the divisions except maybe the North, and both Den and KC are capable of winning the West, South and maybe the East. Just my 2 cents though...

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

KC and Denver would have come in second in every NFC division (with a tie-breaker needed in the West) last season. SD was the best team in the league last year until the playoffs came around, so they obviously would have taken any division. The raiders on the other hand would have been dead last in every division.

The Broncos and Chiefs were just one game above .500 last season.. I consider that average. 10-6 is pretty good, anything above that is good or great.

So like I said.. AFC West: One great team, two average teams, one terrible team. It's not as dominate as people think.

 

[JLMACN]

last year we blew out SF and beat Seattle....pretty good...

We would have taken first in that division

5000

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

Yes and that division is one of the worst in the league.

Seattle was mediocre and they won it.

That still doesn't make your team good.
