Before I commence with my post, Hawk fans, if your stadium isn't a SIGNIFICANT advantage, then please explain this:
8-0 @ Home
3-5 on the road.
You were a LOSING team on the road, and you were nearly INVINCIBLE at home. You barely beat THE PANTHERS 12-7 on the road in week 1. You TRASHED the 49ers in week 2. In takes some serious cognitive dissonance to not see the pattern.

They just won't say anything.
Because their football team just got torn a new arse hole by the Seahawks.
In Seattle.
I doubt most of you understand what that stadium does to our offense. Our offense's greatest strength is making at the line adjustments. In Seattle, our greatest strength becomes our greatest weakness. That's why all of us expected a Seattle win. In San Francisco, you won't be able to count on that, and I believe that shifts the match-up to an equal one.
So, in Seattle, it's lopsided in favor of the Seahawks, but in that toilet Candlestick park, the matchup is even? Ok then.
Yeah. (a) 49er fans at the stick tend to be rich wine and cheese douchebags who only like the team because it's cool to.
(b) Candlestick, and no other stadium for that matter, has the engineering genius that C-Link has in terms of amplifying sound.

Yes, because I'm sure the players are relying on Kaepernick to tell them where to shift.
Or are you saying your coaches aren't smart enough to give them what they need beforehand to negate those shift calls?
It is more than shifts. It's routes, run or pass, protections, etc. There is a LOT in our offense that is not determined until the players are at the line. I was prophetic when I said "I doubt most of you would understand," it seems. Well, perhaps not most, but certainly you.

That's a pretty damning review of your coaches then.
If they're unable to come up with an even barely passable way of adjusting at the LOS without absolute silence then they aren't doing their jobs properly.
Of course, that isn't actually the case. You actually have very talented coaches who are more than capable of working around this.
The truth is you've conjured up an excuse for the fact your boys were systematically destroyed by a better team.
No, the truth is that I'm correct. You spend a whole off-season doing it one way, you're not going to master another way in a week. They tried. It didn't work so well. That was only 1/2 of the problem, though. The other half was our injuries at WR and loss of Delanie Walker (for trap blocking).
Now, here is WHY it is critical: these adjustments put Kaepernick in a position where the defense is easy to read and exploit. When they are limited, we have to rely solely on his ability to read a defense post-snap, which I'm sorry to say is still a work in progress. That's probably why the last time we beat you in Seattle, Alex Smith was the quarterback.

Oh the excuses, you guys are better than that.
Just admit your team got beat into submission.
So you're saying C-Link is NOT a significant advantage? Okay, that clears it up. Throwdown does NOT think that Seattle has a significant Home Field Advantage. I'm glad we've cleared that up. This despite being 8-0 @ Home but somehow 3-5 on the road last year, and barely escaping Carolina with a win, but thrashing SF at home.
