I think the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers are all purty close. And injury here, a bad bounce there is all that separates em, in my view. Whoever gets home-field will of course have an advantage.
I think a lot of us thot SF would be good ‘last’ year, but they had Fisher-level injuries. Lotta bad luck last year.
I dont see any juggernaut in the NFC. Just a lot of good teams. Coupla good teams wont make the playoffs.

That makes a lot of sense. It may have always been this way, but it seems like injuries are playing a bigger role in a team’s fate than they used to. Maybe it’s just me getting old and I’m noticing them more, cuz I usually feel like one of the walking wounded meself!

Anyway . . . yeah, bounces here and there, injuries, game of inches. Sheesh. Just Legatron’s kick Thursday is proof of that. This Sunday’s game would be entirely different if his kick had been a coupla inches to the left. It would be all about first place in the division, and I think the winner would have been pumped with “mo” to carry them a good ways forward.
Now, it’s basically a must-win for the Rams. At least if they don’t want to play that extra playoff game.
Should be a goodin’, as Walter Brennan used to say.
