GOOD MORNING SKA USERS. IT’S TUESDAY AND THAT MEANS IT’S TIME TO ARM YOURSELVES… WITH KNOWLEDGE!!!
October has come and gone, and for the NFCW it was a month to forget. The four teams combined for a putrid record of 5-9-2 for the month. Gross.
What happened to you, NFCW? You used to be so cool. So many epic battles, big moments and crazy story-lines. Except for the Rams.
And now!? This Division is a shell of its former self. Especially the 49ers and Cardinals. NFCW, If you keep this up, I might have to start writing articles for the East board. Although I don’t know how receptive they’ll be to my Russell Wilson-charts.
Now let’s get to my least favorite part of the article: the STATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s Changed?
The Seahawks Defense has watched helplessly as much of their precious Yellow Highlighting has slipped away. Meanwhile, an ugly smattering of Red has cropped up on the Offensive side of things. It doesn’t take a Golden Boner to know that this is a disturbing trend. Award.
After failing in their attempts to get Russell Wilson killed, the Offensive Line has shifted their efforts toward committing penalties as a means to sabotage my Knowledge Tables.
Through it all, Wilson has somehow remained #1 on The Real BKOB Report Quarterback Rankings. I don’t know how he does it. But it doesn’t get any easier this week when they face The Ryan Bros and their Buffalo Band of Sack Happy Foot-Soldiers.
If I was the major Seahawks Homer I am often accused of being, I would find it very difficult to spin this a positive way. But I’m not. So I won’t.
What I will do, however, is provide some much needed context. At this same point last year the Seahawks were 3-4, ranked 28th in Passing and 19th in Points Scored. They turned it around and finished the year as a Top 5 Offense.
There is still time to improve upon these dreadful numbers, as long as the Nano-Bubbles kick in soon. Rumor has it he’s switched to Cucumber Mint flavor (which you can purchase here)
My Analysis:
The Pitiful Artizona Cardinals stumble lifelessly into their Bye Week, with yet another humiliating loss tacked on to their nightmare of a season. Carson Palmer was in Post-Season form, and alleged “Superstar” Running Back David Johnson was held to just 24 yards, and did not score a Touchdown for the second week in a row.
This is the exact same roster that went 13-3 last year (plus Chandler Jones). And now, eight games through 2016, they haven’t gotten above .500 at any point during the season. Bruce Arians should do something about that, but I don’t even think he cares anymore.
Sure, they have some Yellow Highlighting on their Stats, but they’re not fooling anyone. With their inability to protect the Quarterback and hang on to the ball, their season is as good as done. The jig is up.
