This should be interesting.
While we have lots of great posters that are fans of each team, naturally I'm mostly interested in seeing the posts and comments from Seahawks fans. (Still feel free to chime in Cards and 49ers fans: Ringless, Pop, Marvin, etc)
The case for the Cardinals:
From a rivalry point of view, I still want to root against the 49ers at all costs. Plus I don't really like the the 49ers players that I can easily name. For the most part I still think your rival is your rival even if they are projected to be a non-playoff team and not much of a divisional threat. So if I'm rooting against the 49ers, that means I'm rooting for the Cardinals.
The case for the 49ers:
Interestingly, while I like most of the Cardinals players I can name ... however, something about Bruce Arians really makes me want to smack his hat off and I've started to develop a sports hate for the Cardinals because of that (maybe I'm listening to too much Mike Salk). Not to mention they are 2-0, and seemingly our biggest thread in winning the NFC West. And it's likely harmless rooting for the 49ers if in fact they have taken a huge step down and are going to be a non-playoff team anyway.
My Vote: Rooting for the 49ers (aka against the Cardinals)
The tipping point: because we started 0-2. And the Cardinals are 2-0
What say you .NET?
