Dude...seriously...don't look for the logic there.
As with all of his stories, his number one objective is to get people to click on his page. He's looking for attention. He comes up with his conclusion first and then justifies it later. He knows the controversial conclusion is the part people will pay attention to and he just invents the rest.
This is what he's always done. The only difference now is that Seahawk fans are more able to see it because he's turning his annoying BS on them.
I get crap in here all the time about my "approved reading list", but this should just serve as an example of what I've been saying all along. The dude is just looking for attention. He KNEW him picking the Niners would be unexpected so that's what he did and then justified the pick later. That's what he does and has always done.
SOOOOOO many times I've been on this site when 'hawk fans were essentially taking his word as gospel saying I was just "spinning". ALL of this "Harbaugh will be gone next year" BS started with him. He also said in the offseason that Aldon Smith would never play another down for the 49ers. He was the same guy who Harbaugh got annoyed with when asking about Aldon Smith "how many felonies is too many?". As I said then, the guy has a history. He just likes to stir the pot.
This is the same guy who almost got into a fistfight with a Raiders exec.
Can you kinda see now why Niner fans don't believe anything he says?
Yeah, he's always been an idiot. Especially stupid when he released video of himself trying to start a fight with Raiders coaches. It was obvious he provoked the whole thing, and all the other media guys were calling him an idiot.
The best part is his "logic" for why the Seahawks won't get to the Superbowl:
1) Nobody else has done it twice in a row for a long time, doesn't happen very often (gambler's fallacy)
2) Green Bay or New Orleans will knock Seattle out of the playoffs.
Green Bay and New Orleans do not match up well against Seattle.
Green Bay, frankly, makes me laugh. We would steamroll them. No defense and run game which is how you play Seattle if you want to win. Eddy Lacy? ROTFL. Yeah, for anyone who didn't watch him last season, maybe. That guy is another Trent Richardson and is the least worrisome RB in the NFL to me. Goes down on first contact. A few hits from Chancellor and he'd be out of the game or running scared. Green Bay's OL looked just absolutely terrible last season as well, and it's funny to me that nobody's talking about that. I mean they were abysmal. I got to watch Aaron Rodgers, my starting fantasy QB, go down for multiple weeks because he was getting hit on almost every down. That GB OL is a bunch of turnstiles and that's going to affect both their run and pass offense when they play a defense like Seattle.
New Orleans? Well, they play quality physical defense, but again - they rely too heavily on passing. That gives the Seattle defense way too many opportunities to come up with turnovers, and as SF fans know, that is NEVER a good thing. You're not going to beat Seattle if you throw the ball 30+ times. You will end up giving up at least 1-2 INTs (especially Brees who has been OWNED by the LoB many times now), and Seattle uses those INTs to run the ball, chew up clock, and put more points on the board. That's how we beat people. Literally only one team has beat Seattle through the air in the last 2 years and that was Indy last season, and they did that by picking on Browner. Browner is gone, for that very reason, and has been replaced by a very very underrated Maxwell. New Orleans also scares me less than SF.
SF's only hope of making the Superbowl will be to host us in Santa Clara for the playoffs, or if we have to go to Carolina. The Panthers are a strong matchup against us, as are the Niners. My concern with the Niners would be that their run game doesn't matchup well, they'll have to rely on a rookie Carlos Hyde because Gore just can't do it against us and we all saw that last postseason. Further, SF will have to scale back the passing attack. Kaepernick does not throw well at all against the Seahawks, we pretty much own him. And I'm not saying this as a homer or to be a hater of the Niners. SF just really has some bad juju coming to Seattle - so they have to pray that Seattle doesn't get that 1 seed. If they do, fuggedaboudit. NOBODY is coming to Seattle in January and winning here.
And honestly, who really believes that SF will have a better record than Seattle at the end of the season? I mean, really? They have suffered a ton of losses on defense, their offense is clearly struggling, and it's going to take a few weeks at least to get that ship righted. Kawakami mentioned it in his article. The problem with his logic is that Seattle is going to come out with guns blazing and they have a fairly easy schedule early, while SF has a fairly brutal one. If Seattle goes into Thanksgiving up by 2-3 games over SF, you can pretty much bank on Seattle winning the NFCW.
