As we move into week three, each NFCW team finds themselves facing some pretty tough questions.
The Rams find themselves wondering which version of their team is the real thing. Are they the team that beat SEA in week one or the team that got beat by Kirk Cousins last week? They have a rough matchup this week against a red hot Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not the ideal game to for them to right the ship.
The 49ers and Cardinals square off in our second divisional matchup of the season. The Cardinals have looked strong out of the gate, albeit against some pedestrian competition, and they hope to continue that against the 49ers this week. The 49ers on the other hand followed their strong week one showing against the Vikings by deciding not to show up against the Steelers last week. They are in the same situation as the Rams, in that they need to find their identity.
The Seahawks find themselves in a pickle after starting the season 0-2. They should be able to finally get a win this week against the Jimmy Clausen led, Alshon Jeffery-less, Bears, but they’ll need to get back to their bread and butter of running the ball with Lynch and playing tough defense.
The rest of the week’s schedule is fairly uninteresting to this NFCW fan, but the Chiefs @ Packers on Monday night should be a good game.
