Actually, Seattle played the first year of their existence in the NFC West and THEN moved to the AFC West for all of those years.... If memory serves...
You do recall correctly!! My bad.

NO! Don't do that!

@Loyal already has a swelled head. Now he's going to be just impossible.

Be prepared for a lot of this ...

Remember when Georgia was on the West Coast; and the Atlanta Falcons were in the NFC West!?!

And Missouri was on the East Coast ... the St. Louis Cardinals were in the NFC East!

Geography was really confusing back then.
Alas... The "good old days" when the NFC West had teams in North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri and Hell

I think we all feel it's SF. So a better question might be who is a our biggest rival/tormentor in regards to a single player that had resided in the NFC West?

Montana? Rice? Norton? Wilson?

Who did we hate the most out of our division rivals. Might even be a player from a former division opponent like the Saints.

The whiners are the #1 on the hatred list. They talk crap and can't handle it when they get payback. I really really hated Ken Norton Jr and Charles Haley. F them. Now I can't stand dweebo samuel. I hope he gets lit up again. At least be a man and congratulate the team that humbled your sorry ass. Nope, sits on the sideline whining and crying. Funny thing is he didn't learn because he's still talking trash. I hope he gets traded to the Cleveland Browns and never gets a ring.

I didn't like the sea pigeons either, but they never talked up sh*t like the whiners. They were just good for a while.

Why so called analysts keep giving the division to the Hawks or 49ers shows they don't know shit. The Rams have the best QB and WR in the division in Stafford and Kupp. Seattle's defense is as big of a question mark as the Rams. The 49ers IMO will take a step back for two reasons. Their OL a keystone of their offense lost their starting RT and RG with a young inexperienced QB1. Their defense has taken a hit with losses of CB Mosely, S Ward, DEs Ebukam, Omenihu, RG Brunskill, RT McGlinchey, DT Ridgeway, LB Al-Shaair and others. Their depth has taken a hit as they like to rotate their D players a lot.

The Ram offensive is intact with Stafford, Kupp, Jefferson, Akers, Williams, rookie Evans and a much improved OL. Nacua and Atwell look poised to have big seasons as well. The depth at TE has never been so good. There is talent on the defense, if used properly to be a top 10 unit. IMO new addition Witherspoon gives them an upgrade over Kendrick. So with Witherspoon, Durant, and Tomlinson they have speed and agility at CB. I'm not counting out Rochell yet because he does play STs. Fuller will have to hold off Taylor, and behind them are Yeast and Lake. Young, Hoecht, Hampton, Hardy and Mathis gives them some legit talent at OLB / edge. The question on defense isn't talent, it's how Morris plays his unit and whether he goes with talent over buddy.

For those who doubt Byron Young don't forget who he plays next to the DL GOAT Donald. I'm expecting 7-9 sacks from Young as a rookie. If Morris plays Hampton or Mathis in the SAM role behind Young he won't have to drop into coverage he can just focus as an edge this year.

So IMO the Rams don't really have a rival and I think this is the year that the Rams begin to separate themselves from the rest of the division and they will spend years playing catchup. If the Rams have a rival its Detroit who is also in the NFC. It wouldn't surprise me if these two bump heads in the playoffs and for years after

Whiners. Definitely the rudest fans on the road next to the Saints fans. Holy shitballs, you know there will be fights when Saints fans are on the road. Nine fans are just arrogant rude. Best road fans are the Packer fans.
