Any thoughts on how Seahawks can beat the 49ers?

ANY team can be knocked off. I honestly don't expect a win on Thursday. But I also am not just assuming they can't be knocked off.
The NFL in 2023 has been strange AF. So many upsets and sh** burgers thrown up by good teams. It happens.

Funnily enough, Pete defensively matches up with Kyle shanahan better than most other teams. Same for the flip side, McVay owns Pete for whatever reason.

LB’s and Adams need to have monster games at and near the LOS. Contain the outside stuff, diagnose screens, make the 49ers try to beat you vertically.

That said - if Waldron’s horrendous design and in game adjustments of late shows up, OL continues being garbage, the defense will only be able to hold up for so long. Offense has to be balanced, establish the running game to create some longer drives, and punch in TD’s. FG’s likely won’t cut it.

Once 49ers get rolling it’s almost impossible to catch up with how talented their front 7 is on defense. They can just focus on pass rushing and the games over. So everyone needs to bring their A game.

I am feeling confident, we will beat the 9ers, we will do it with tough defense and surprise them with McIntosh which they have no game film to study.

I hope we run it every down against SF so we can lose by 70 and we never have to hear about it again.

Funny thing is that the NFL wanted to see high scoring games with lots of deep balls, defenses adapted, and now we have low scoring games (Miami may be an anomaly). Probably why we hear so many RB’s calling out the NFL. Will the NFL return to low scoring, ground and pound? Only time will tell.

What exactly is “today’s NFL”? From the way it looks, the league is trending towards a more ground and pound offense.

They have to come out and play with their hair on fire, like it's their SB.

McCaffrey, Bosa, and Purdy pull an all nighter, and miss the Plane.

Play disciplined football! No dumb penalties, miscues or mistakes. The team has the talent but they play with very little discipline.
