49ers get 5 interceptions, score only 10 points, win anyway

In related news, I'm going to go ahead and pencil in the Cardinals as clinching the NFC West.

You gotta remember,

the Cardinals are not exactly prone to laying an egg here and there.

Bring back the Baltimore Chop!

That's why I said "penciled in". But consider:

a) The Rams are done
b) The Seahawks (barring a miracle turn-around) are done

c) The 49ers offense was really awful last night: only 2 drives longer than 38 yards. In spite of the Bears’ terrible play, they nearly won anyway.

d) The Cardinals still have the Seahawks, Rams (x2), and Lions. Unless they have a really spectacular collapse, they should get to 9 wins easily, and I would say 11 or more wins are not out of reach.

A) your right the Rams are done which means their role now is to play spoiler.

B) Seattle is not done until this weekend is over. If they somehow beat the Cards, they are 1 game out of it.

C) The Bears defense actually played pretty well. They kept Crabtree and Davis out of the game and held Smith to only completing short passes. Their offense is much better than they showed last night.

D) The Cardinals have the easiest schedule left in the NFL based on the records of their upcoming opponents. That does not mean they are going to beat them, for example Carolina. I do expect the Cards to get 9 wins but my guess is they do not have more than 10 wins this season.
