Seattle @ SF Part II (1 Viewer)

[proninja]

As a Seahawks fan, this game does NOT worry me.

Not because I think it will be a walk in the park for Seattle but because the outcome of this game is largely irrelevant to the season. Seattle is getting home field whether they win in SF or not. A loss here was almost penciled in by most Seattle fans as one of the 3 or so games Seattle would probably lose this season.

I still would love them to win because I hate the 9ers, but a loss is not going to devastate me, nor should it any other Seattle fan.

I am surprised to see the 49ers favored though.

I'd say this is pretty accurate. I look forward to this game and would really like to see the 49ers swept. This may be the only game in the next month that has a substantial degree of anticipation for us Hawk fans.

If we lose it, there certainly will be a lot of anticipation. It's not like both the saints and panthers can lose this week. One of them will still be in position to snatch the #1 seed.

We need to win two of the last four to gaurantee HFA throughout. Until that happens, every game matters, every game is relevant. AZ and StL at home are not gimmes, as both teams have played very well at times and would love nothing more than to spoil Seattle's goals. NYG on the east coast in a morning game is troublesome too, even though they've managed to dispel their road woes thus far this season. Two big games in a row could easily leave the Hawks in letdown mode. Theyre all relevant.

I didn't say they weren't relevant, just that a loss wouldn't hurt Seattle much, if at all. If NO and Carolina split both their games plus win all their others, Seattle needs to go 1-3 for HFA. You can pretty much hand Seattle the #1 seed at this point.

I'm just a fan so I get to think like this.

 

[cacksman]

I think I'm more worried about possibly winning the next 2 games and then having a whole month of meaningless football before the divisional round, than I am of this game.

Seattle will dominate.

You said it was largely irrelevant. Until they clinch, every game is largely relevant.

Looks like a prime week for the natural, human, mental letdown for Seattle. Short week, going on the road, and the last game was essentially a playoff atmosphere.

It's hard to play at 100% every single week. Every single week, with real live human beings. Now of course, SF can't lay an egg -- Seattle at 75% might well be enough to beat SF's best effort.

I dunno that I'd worry about a mental letdown this week. Seattle's been looking forward to this matchup for a long time now. The following week in NY is when I worry about the mental lapses. If they expect to go anywhere in the playoffs, they need to get used to getting up for big games week after week. Falling short to Atlanta because of a terrible first half has to be prime bulletin board material for staying focused on the Niners. Keeping the Niners from making the playoffs is a huge cherry on the regular season for them.VD can say whatever he wants, he hasn't finished a game against Seattle in at least 2, if not 3 games.

I don't know about that, Sweeney. Based on everything you hear the leaders and coaches of the team say, they take it one game at a time (each week is a "championship week").At this point (in this season), I don't think this rivalry means as much to Seattle as it does to the 49ers; simply because the overall objective for Seattle is so clearly defined and achievable. San Francisco needs a W here more than the Seahawks.

Oh great, now Seahawk fans are going to try and down play it like the Niners fans unsuccessfully tried to do in September. Taking things one week at a time and looking forward to a specific game are not mutually exclusive.

I'm a local, so I hear the local media and attend camp and games on occasion, but I am a Cowboy fan at heart (though I admit it is nice to watch a team like the Seahawks on a weekly basis while Jerry Jones has his delusions of grandeur). That aside, this is what Russell Wilson says every interview. This is what Earl Thomas—Wilson's defensive counterpart—says repeatedly. And Doug Baldwin in radio interviews, et al... It is what Pete Carroll preaches; and the team seems to buy in to a man.

I could care less about excuses, and I think the Seahawks probably win this game. But this game itself means no more or less than the last one, or the next; neither of which does the team appear to be focused on at the present.

Every week is a championship week according to Russell Wilson.

 

[cacksman]

Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, the two young quarterbacks leading the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, will face comparisons as long as they meet twice a season as NFC West rivals.

And that will certainly be the case this week, leading up to the meeting between the first-place Seahawks and second-place 49ers on Sunday at Candlestick Park.

They are faces of their franchises. And, by definition of the position they play, each is a team spokesman. Kaepernick had his weekly session with reporters on Wednesday, while Wilson took part in a conference call with Bay Area reporters.

Here’s how Kaepernick and Wilson answered identical questions we asked them:

What impresses you most about Seattle’s defense?
Kaepernick: “Very physical. Very fast.”

What impresses you most about San Francisco’s defense? ?
Wilson: ”How physical they are, how fast they fly around on the football field, and how sound they are. They don’t miss many tackles. They make the right play. They’re always near the ball. And, so, it’s pretty impressive.”

What do you like most about how your team is playing?
Kaepernick: ”We’re executing. When we have the opportunity, we’re making plays.”
Wilson: ”The thing is, we’re staying on schedule. On the offensive side of the ball, we’re staying on schedule. We’re keeping it third and shorts. We’re making plays in the red zone. Guys are really capitalizing. Guys have really stepped up. Our offensive line is back, which is really nice to have. We played, like, four or five games without our left tackle, our Pro Bowl left tackle, our Pro Bowl center, and our right tackle. And we were able to be successful in those games, still. The big thing about us is our defense is playing really strong, too. When the whole team is making plays and doing the right things at the right time, that gives us a chance to win.”

Aside from helping your team or trying to help your team win games on the field, what’s the most important part of your job as a quarterback?
Kaepernick: ”I think the biggest thing is keeping everyone motivated, keeping them focused on what we need to be doing.”
Wilson: ”I think the most important thing . . . there are several things. I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have great leadership. You have to have great attention to detail. You have to have relentless competitive nature. Those are three things, I’d say, you have to have. Then, another thing is, can I make the other 10 guys in the huddle better? No matter what the play is, no matter what the situation is, can I make them believe and can I help them play at their best and facilitate the ball to the right guy at the right time. And that’s what it really comes down to. There are a lot more things that are involved, but that’s what I basically comes down to.”

Kaepernick is such a turd.

Definitely a David v Goliath struggle where no one gives the Niners a chance and the Hawks are already writing "#1 seed" in ink.

Which is oddly how the blue color, one day at a time Niners prefer it. Seattle deserves all their honied words of praise, and Harbaugh has waited a long time in vain to be the consensus underdog.

As long as the Niners aren't the only team coming out of this with multiple guys on season ending IR as a result of "legal" hits like in the last two matchups, I'm good with any result.

Bueno.That's not what the team tells you, nor common sense. But, hey, I think you're onto something here. How long would you say they've been looking forward to it? Ballpark it for the rest of us...

That's a pretty interesting take since the 49ers are actually favored.

You know, they're probably looking forward to their first playoff game too. Doesn't mean they aren't taking things week by week. I'd say they've probably looking looking forward to it since the schedule came out and both teams circled the date in their calendars. Most recently though, I'd say since week 3.

How many other teams in the league were considered front runners in the league with them? How many have levels of parallelism tying them together, like college rival coaches, or young rising stars at QB? You can figure out how many calendars on your own though it's a colloquialism that doesn't necessarily mean actually circling the date.Eta: the week 2 matchup was probably also circled.

It is what Pete Carroll preaches; and the team seems to buy in to a man. I could care less about excuses, and I think the Seahawks probably win this game. But this game itself means no more or less than the last one, or the next; neither of which does the team appear to be focused on at the present.

They're still not mutually exclusive.

Bueno.That's not what the team tells you, nor common sense. But, hey, I think you're onto something here. How long would you say they've been looking forward to it? Ballpark it for the rest of us...

You know, they're probably looking forward to their first playoff game too. Doesn't mean they aren't taking things week by week. I'd say they've probably looking looking forward to it since the schedule came out and both teams circled the date in their calendars. Most recently though, I'd say since week 3.

I see. Which other games do you think they circle in their calendars? And is that plural as in multiple individual calendars, or just one big ol' team calendar hanging at the VMAC?

How many other teams in the league were considered front runners in the league with them? How many have levels of parallelism tying them together, like college rival coaches, or young rising stars at QB? You can figure out how many calendars on your own though it's a colloquialism that doesn't necessarily mean actually circling the date.Eta: the week 2 maqtchup was probably also circled.

Thanks for the insight, dude. You think the calendars are right there on the team issued iPads, with the playbooks? That'd make the most sense, no?

 

[mad sweeney]

Looks like a prime week for the natural, human, mental letdown for Seattle. Short week, going on the road, and the last game was essentially a playoff atmosphere.

It's hard to play at 100% every single week. Every single week, with real live human beings. Now of course, SF can't lay an egg -- Seattle at 75% might well be enough to beat SF's best effort.

I dunno that I'd worry about a mental letdown this week. Seattle's been looking forward to this matchup for a long time now. The following week in NY is when I worry about the mental lapses. If they expect to go anywhere in the playoffs, they need to get used to getting up for big games week after week. Falling short to Atlanta because of a terrible first half has to be prime bulletin board material for staying focused on the Niners. Keeping the Niners from making the playoffs is a huge cherry on the regular season for them.VD can say whatever he wants, he hasn't finished a game against Seattle in at least 2, if not 3 games.

I don't know about that, Sweeney. Based on everything you hear the leaders and coaches of the team say, they take it one game at a time (each week is a "championship week").At this point (in this season), I don't think this rivalry means as much to Seattle as it does to the 49ers; simply because the overall objective for Seattle is so clearly defined and achievable. San Francisco needs a W here more than the Seahawks.

Oh great, now Seahawk fans are going to try and down play it like the Niners fans unsuccessfully tried to do in September. Taking things one week at a time and looking forward to a specific game are not mutually exclusive.

[DocHolliday]

Seattle wins this by 10. That SF O is average and will look bad against that Seattle D.

 

[Norcalhoya]

As a Seahawks fan, this game does NOT worry me.

Not because I think it will be a walk in the park for Seattle but because the outcome of this game is largely irrelevant to the season. Seattle is getting home field whether they win in SF or not. A loss here was almost penciled in by most Seattle fans as one of the 3 or so games Seattle would probably lose this season.

I still would love them to win because I hate the 9ers, but a loss is not going to devastate me, nor should it any other Seattle fan.

I'd say this is pretty accurate. I look forward to this game and would really like to see the 49ers swept. This may be the only game in the next month that has a substantial degree of anticipation for us Hawk fans.

As a Niners fan, I feel the same way. This game is meaningless. SF can't catch Seattle to win the division, but we're pretty locked into the wildcard. Call it arrogance, but I don't see Arizona or anyone else catching us.

The game that I am anticipating is the playoff game in Seattle. SF will almost assuredly be the 6th seed in the playoffs (assuming Carolina doesn't blow it). SF would play the 3rd team round one. That's either Detroit, Philly, or Dallas. I'd take SF on the road against any of those teams. Then we'd play Seattle in Seattle. Seems pretty likely to me.

Can't wait to shut Richard Sherman up. Make the NFC Championship game first. Then talk!

 

[Paulymaggs]

Who got the keys to this ######ed alias?

Definitely a David v Goliath struggle where no one gives the Niners a chance and the Hawks are already writing "#1 seed" in ink.

Which is oddly how the blue color, one day at a time Niners prefer it. Seattle deserves all their honied words of praise, and Harbaugh has waited a long time in vain to be the consensus underdog.


As long as the Niners aren't the only team coming out of this with multiple guys on season ending IR as a result of "legal" hits like in the last two matchups, I'm good with any result.

Like a repressed SWC.

[Doctor Detroit]

One interesting tactic which I can see Pete Carroll using if they get behind, is the all vanilla approach. Basically coaches have done this for years when they think they'll likely see the other team in the playoffs, and the regular season game means less than it should. Run all base formations on offense, but at the very least, run nothing you would consider an advantage you had in a must-win game. There is no way I'd play Harvin, there is no way I'd run any play or series of plays targeting a specific 49ers weakness. Play straight-up, hop to come out the other side with a win.

I agree with Mad Sweeney that this game is important, and Seattle needs to show up to play. BUt on the flip side, I would show the 49ers nothing. I think it's almost a certainty they see each other again in January.

 

[5Rings]

Out of all of the Seahawk fans, at times I feel like I am the Debbie Downer of the group. This week is no different. Here is a stat that scares the crap out of me. Seattle has not won in SF since October 26, 2008. In addition you have Seahawk fans going out of their way to piss off opposing fans.

http://mynorthwest.com/11/2407294/12th-Man-flag-to-fly-high-above-San-Francisco-Sunday

The 12th Man will be well represented high above San Francisco Sunday when the Seahawks take on the 49ers at Candlestick Park, thanks to some industrious fans who've raised enough money to fly a banner from a plane before the game.

"There's a lot of us that can't make that game and we wanted to have our presence felt," says lifelong Hawks fan Cedric Morris.

Morris says he and another friend launched an online fundraiser to come up with the $1,300 it would cost to hire a plane to tow their banner for about 30 minutes before the game against Seattle's archrival. The huge banner reads "Go Hawks-12."

Morris hopes the banner gets a big rise out of the San Francisco fans.

"Well, they're not going to like it, that's for sure," he laughs.

The banner is timed to fly over as the teams warm up for the game. Morris thinks it'll help pump up the Hawks, and he'd be glad if it bothered at least a few of the 49ers.

"We're going to get a little mental thing with the Niners. Try to beat them before the game even starts."

The banner likely won't get any live TV coverage since it'll fly before the broadcast begins, but Morris says the Associated Press and some Bay Area TV stations plan to cover it.

The campaign has proven so popular, it's raised 141 percent of its goal. So Morris plans to donate 20 percent of the money raised to The Wounded Warrior Project.

"We're the 12th Man. We're the greatest fans on earth," he says of the effort.

Pretty much, IMO at least, the equivalent of college teams stealing each others' mascot or painting the big letter on the mountain or statue.

Not that it matters. Niners and their fans don't even think twice about the Seahawks. Just a ho-hum nothing of a game against a faceless team and fan base. Definitely not anything to chant after a win on national television against an unrelated team.

What happened to that Ram fan troll who said the Rams were a playoff team this year? You and he accounted for 2/3 of the posts of the last SEA/SF thread Wasn't he buddies with Your Scientist?

I don't see the Niners can hope to compete with the 'Hawks right now. Give Crabs a few more weeks to get the rust off, a healthy Iupati, Reid not babying his shoulder, and maybe we can give this juggernaut a game. In SF maybe. But not now. Hawks are playing good ball and like all good teams the ball is bouncing their way (like off the helmet for a TD ). Seattle by 2 TDs.

While I agree they prob keep it simple, I don't think it makes a difference. SF will prob have to go through Detroit first which I'm not positive they can do. Then, a game in Seattle is meaningless as SF has shown us over the last two years they can't compete in the PNW.

I hate both teams equally but I think if Kaepernick trusts his wr'ers/TE this time, they knock off Seattle.

Its hard work but someone has to do it.

It's hard work trolling Packer fan? That's quick work. Of course SF fans had to deal with them during the Favre era. Weird thing happened to me in Chicago one January. I walk into a bar after GB beat the 49ers in a playoff game, and most of them were teasing me about it. I asked them if I was in Green Bay. Almost got into a fight.

Disclaimer: of course this has zero fantasy value FF nuts, but you can always look up how Geno Smith is the MVP somewhere here.
