He was saying the "rivalry" was a flash in the pan. Just like Kap.
That rivalry was more about Carroll vs Harbaugh and Sherman/Baldwin Vs Harbaugh/Crabtree.
It had nothing to do inherently with the two franchises.
Cawk fans consider us their main rival because we stood in their way during their rise to relevance (the Holmgren era teams sort of flew under the radar)
I know what he meant but to be perfectly honest I was content before realignment. The culmination of a few things happened early on like in 02' with TO and the sharpie, and let's not sell the past 12 years short. Especially if you enjoy football. Do we deserve to be in the post season more than Detroit??. No but that's why you play the games. Beating Detroit early on helped in H2H but I think the Lions would've made a better game. At the end of the day we made the playoffs and Russell "Frodo Baggins" Wilson did not.
As for tomorrow, the 49ers are heavily favored and could be a Super Bowl team but I do expect the Hawks will be ready. Purdy is a baller, Lance is not unfortunately. You swung and missed but I thought it was a reach from the get go given Trey's lack of P5 football. I'm just glad we made the playoffs during a rebuild year and got a top 5 pick. Glad Denver's GM was dumb enough to take the bait.
