What, I'm not judging anything. The Seahawks were s*** last year too but they're still my team. And at least they won a game to get into the playoffs.
I'm not going to go as far to say that the AFC West this year is worse than the NFC West last year - they're not - but they're not far away either, and the worst team of the four is going to the playoffs. I honestly think the Broncos would be worse than the Seahawks were last year, if not for the fact that they have a really good defense right now.
