I found these in a PFW chat yesterday and wanted to point them out:
Mike (Washington): Dan, Is Seattle still the best team (for you) to win the NFC West?
Dan Arkush: (4:37 PM ET ) Mike, yesterday PFW's editors had to make complete division-by-division picks for our upcoming 2007 Preview mag, and I really had a hard time with the NFC West. Seattle was such a strange team last season. They really had to put up with a lot of key injuries, but I think all the other teams in the division are closing the gap. After a lot of pondering, I decided to pick the Cardinals over the Seahawks. I have really been impressed with the new coach Ken Whisenhunt, and I just have a gut feeling that they will be the kind of intriguing dark horse everybody thought they would be last season. Arizona's defense has to really improve, though. And I still think Seattle could make the playoffs. the NFC West is finally getting better.
AND THIS
James (Indianola, IA): What are the Vikings doing this offseason? No help at Reciever or Defensive End? Will Childress be gone after this season?
Dan Arkush: (4:57 PM ET ) The Vikings haven't done squat. I'm not sure what's going on there. Right now I see them giving the Lions a real good money for the NFC North cellar. Two more questions, firends.
First, people wonder why many of us dismiss the pundits at times? It's only been 3 weeks since free agency started and we haven't had the draft but they're making divisional forecasts?
Second, Arkush says the Vikings will be giving the Lions a run for the cellar....that means PFW will be picking the Packers to finish in second place in the North.
