Look man, there is one and only one reason Seattle might be a better team and able to win in San Francisco, and it's NOT the Legion of Boom. Had the 49ers not abandoned the running game, you wouldn't have gotten those three interceptions. The 49ers are playing much better football than they did in weeks 2-4.
Here is the one thing the 49ers will not be able to take into account: Russell Wilson.
That's it. The 49ers can decrease the threat of your secondary by running the ball (by STICKING with it). Kaepernick will have more weapons in the passing game (and he's playing a lot better now, too- 3rd in Total QBR, back to back 99 or better, etc), which will at some point in the rematch make your coaches think twice about 8 men in the box.
But Russell Wilson running around behind the line of scrimmage like a rabbit being chased by hungry fat men and completing his customary miracle passes on third down is not something that can be accounted for.
If Seattle wins in San Francisco, that's going to be why. The last game was close until the fourth quarter. If that happens again, the difference is going to be key third downs, which Russell Wilson seems to consistently work magic on.
