JFF Fall 2014 Season: NFC West Preview

Monday, September 8, 2014 is the first day that members of The JFF Madden NFL (PS4) Online League will be able to play the first of their four Preseason contests, and as the season gets underway, we will spend the next two weeks offering a preview of each of the eight divisions.


Today, we start with the NFC West Division.


JFF Fall 2013 NFC West Final Standings


JFF Arizona Cardinals

Damian P. makes the jump from the AFC Conference, where he led the JFF New England Patriots to a 13-3-0 record and an appearance in the AFC Conference Championship Game. The JFF Cardinals are expected to finish no worse than 12-4-0 this season, and will definitely be in contention for the NFC West Division crown.


Offensive Outlook:


Last season, QB Carson Palmer completed 310 out of 523 passes for 4,184 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. Palmer was also guilty of throwing 26 interceptions.

Owner / Coach: Jeff Fisher / EA Sports CPU (2nd season with Cardinals)


General Comments:


Last season, the JFF St. Louis Rams started out strong in the first five weeks of the Regular Season, going undefeated under then-new Owner / Coach Victor S. a.k.a. “Pasadena Soldier.” Soldier decided to quit after JFF Week #5 citing a “busy schedule,” and at the time, it created a controversy in the league (CLICK HERE). This season, no human Owner / Coach has purchased the ownership rights to the JFF Rams, so until one does, this team will be led by the CPU talents of Coach Jeff Fisher.
