The NFC West is bad. That’s all their is to it.  The team that was supposed to be a lock to win the west, the San Francisco 49ers,  are now 0-4.  The Seahawks are 2-2 with wins only against the previously mentioned 0-4 49ers, and the Chargers who look nothing like the Super Bowl contender of previous years.  The Seahawks defense doesn’t seem to be consistent and Matt Hasselbeck looks old.

The Arizona Cardinals are 2-2 but their only two wins come against the Oakland Raiders and the St. Louis Rams who only won one game last season. The Cardinals lost one of their top receivers during the off season, oh and that Hall of Fame Quarterback Kurt Warner.  At Quarterback the Cardinals now have Derek Anderson who I will root for like crazy because he did grow up near where I grew up but he still isn’t Warner.

The fourth team in the NFC West is the Rams and they are currently 2-2 and are the only team to have a victory that is respectable with their win over the Redskins.  All of this being said with the thought in mind that they did only win 1 game last season and their Quarterback is a rookie who missed 99% of his final season in college because of a shoulder injury.  If the Rams play good enough they could go from last in the NFL to possibly a play off team.

Well anyways here are my awards for Week 4 of the NFL.

My ‘disappointment for the day’ goes to the Cincinnati Bengals.  How do you lose to a Browns team that has Seneca Wallace as their starting quarterback? The runner-up for this award goes to the Seahawks. 3 points against a team that went 1-15 last season. I didn’t except much from the Seahawks this year so that is why they didn’t get the award this week.

My ‘surprise of the day’ goes to the Denver Broncos. Not so much because they won but because Kyle Orton threw the ball 50 times and had over 300 yards. What ever happened to the power running Broncos.

My ‘so close of the day’ goes to two different teams. The first is the 49ers who came so close to getting their first win but were denied once again.  With the same thought going the second team that gets this award is the Detroit Lions who lost to the Packers in a game that was closer then it should of been.

And my ‘gosh dang it of the day’ goes to the Indianapolis Colts.  Really you couldn’t beat the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Once again Peyton comes up big and the defense just falls a part. If Peyton had a defense like the Ravens, Steelers, or Jets he would be unstoppable.
