SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS GAMEDAY THREAD (WEEK 14)

yeah but on how many of those did RW receive a hit like the one Brooks laid him on on the second play? Obviously we did nothing defensively to dictate in the last game, and I think that's the point some are trying to make: if we consistently get RW on the ground--while also covering up the RB on R/O plays--it will help to dictate what the SEA offense does.

I think its a valid point, as is the fact that in our last two meetings we weren't able to get to RW or to dictate anything on D. If we are going to beat Seattle we have to be able to do so.

I don't disagree with you at all. Hope that wasn't your impression. I simply addressed an inaccurate statement (bolded) that I'm now seeing propagated (apparently by word of mouth/post).

edit: and to answer your question (which I believe was rhetorical), none.

Shhhh. They think they are champs. Its important not to wake them up while sleep-celebrating. They might wake up and realize its only week 13 and jump off the space sewing needle.

I have to give it to some of you Hawks fans. You have been here damn near all year just like a friggin Niners fan. If I didn't know any better I would think some of you might one day don the red and gold.

its all good, I think sometimes the conversations end up with people talking past each other with no one articulating their point and assuming that implication is communication, just wanted to make sure the point was actually made. :)

Not a chance. I do enjoy some of the back and forth though... some.

Go 49ers!

Can't stand the Seahawks!!! I believe they are the only team in the NFL that celebrates after EVERY play!!!!

The game should be interesting and I think we have a good chance to win the game.

This game is at home and we're favored. Of course we have a good chance to win as we're expected to.

If you are here you gotta learn to enjoy all of it as long as it is respectful because by coming here you asked for it. The respectful exchanges I am referring to not the disrespectful. And it says something to the posters here that we have even the hated Hawks here as regular posters. And to be honest I saw this iteration of the Hawks coming to fruition a lot earlier than some with some of the mirroring moves that you made as related to ours with Tim Ruskell? when you traded out of the first round of the draft to get 2 firsts for draft year 2010?. I saw the shift in philosophy to a much more run centric one midseason 2011 just like what Harbaugh brought day one of his tenure in part to having Alex Smith at QB. I heard how Kam Chancellor was echoing some of the same defensive tenets during a post game that we espoused all of 2011 in stopping the run as a priority to make teams one dimensional and tee off defensively on their provoked passing attacks. I saw how you drafted an athletic gifted QB in 2012 just as we had in 2011. Then I knew that you guys were coming for us because you were about to play the same brand of football we played not centered around a $120 million QB but around a strong balanced power running offense and a stout physical defense. I hated when you hired Pete because of the way he left college and I hated the Seahawks even more because I knew that you would not let us get true separation in this division because you had become our clone. From the front office to coaching to roster building everything has been identical and as a result both organizations have teams that will compete amongst the elite for a very long time and I hate you because you are in our division doing this sh** but I love it at the same time!

BTW - Pete made sure to clarify that Russell would have to do a better job of declaring himself a non-rusher. Even referred to Kaep as an example of how to do it to avoid those hits.

A smart coach because I saw this as well last game where Wilson would execute the read then trollop forwards lackadaisically thus giving a pair a very fast LBs in Bowman and Willis time to get there and tee off legally (can you believe that?) with this "posture" rule BS. It shows he is thinking ahead to protect his QB because guys will take their shots if given opportunity

war produces casualties.
how many players do you think will get knocked out of the game, sunday?
