I think we're in their heads. Not a chance will they beat us at home and I give us a decent chance of us beating them @SF. I am as concerned about the Rams as I am the Niners. We know SF is very concerned about both us and the Rams. St. Louis is in the best position to upset us, IMO. They are loading up, already have a hell-a-shish D-line and 2 of the first 22 picks in this draft. More importantly, nobody is talking about them. Seattle and SF are getting all of the press and I am sure that sits quite well with Jeff Fischer...as it pisses off his team. They make me nervous.

Yeah, the Rams are gonna be tough this year. The way I see it, the Niners are going to be tough, but declining over the next few years, the Seahawks are going to be in their prime and the Rams are a year behind us. Which means they'll be in the hunt for the division this season and it will be a three way race. 2014, I think the Niners are after a Wildcard spot and the division is between us and the Rams.

The Hawks have Fisher's number. No worries.

Well being pissed off about something has worked for this team since Pete has got here, having their ego's stroked is not what I want to see. I like that edge that being put down gives this team.

...except for a kicker that was booting 79 yard field goals all day long.

Yeah, call me old school but I doubt I will ever get used to national media hype.

Clayton and Sando have both made points about this, SF's defense doesn't rotate, I mean that can't help but age players quicker then they normally would. Also I don't know how healthy Justin Smith will be and Aldon (who just had surgery btw) hasn't proven he can play without him. I think the 9ers have a declining defense, however their offense will still be great don't get me wrong

Ya'll know we are in the Super Bowl this next year, and not because of how fantastic of a team we have...It's the only Super Bowl in the cold since Detroit. Apparently it's in the Football Gods Rule book.
For that reason alone, put all your life savings on a Vegas bet.
Seriously though, I do agree that the Rams are a team that needs to be paid attention to. Clearly nobody in the media is willing to do it. Hopefully the Seahawks aren't spending all of their time reading their press and actually focusing on their opponents. Well, we know one person for sure is...
Wilson: "Yes honey, I know it's only March but don't you see I have the Rams defense to contend with? I'll come to bed after I finish breaking down their entire roster and known tendencies beginning with their training camp footage from last year."
I do think their identity on offense takes a hit with that powerhouse Steven Jackson now gone. He WAS their offense for how many years? I don't think the absence of Jackson and the addition of whomever else they add in 2013 will suddenly catapult them into that dangerous of a team. I just don't. Not quite yet at least. 9-7 would be a mild surprise out of them in 2013.
I still think the 49ers are the favorites until we can beat them in their house. I don't even worry about at home. But if you want to show the entire planet that you are the CLEAR NFC favorite, you beat them in their house. No excuses.
Sweep those bitches, period.

I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. When you read your own press clippings,
that's when your off your guard. No hype, then tons of hype. "Super bowl
favorites" is a road sign on the road to nowhere.
That's on the one hand.
On the other hand, fans of a team that gets little national press can't help but
buy into the hype. I know I'm sure enjoying it. Writers who treated us like something
on the sole of their shoe are now jumping out in front of the Seahawk parade.
I like it..........but it scares me.

Scares me too.

I don't know about dismissing the 9ers. Last I saw they were pretty decent and on the rise.
Thumping our chest and proving it? Priceless.

Think of it as a by-product of winning. Crappy teams are never talked about positively in the offseason

All of it is just talk and speculation. The Hawks need to go out and get it done.
It is pretty easy to spot a good team on the rise I might add.

I'm going to trust Pete to keep everyone's head in the game.
If Pete has any strengths, they start with an outstanding ability to keep a given player's focus on doing his job and ignoring outside influences. He'll come up with ways to keep things in perspective.
