If the Hawks play the balanced, clean, disciplined and efficient team football Mac has had them playing all season, they win this game. #1 in team DVOA and #1 in point differential did not happen by accident or luck. Not saying it will be easy. 9ers are well-coached and formidable for sure. Expecting an intra-divisional dogfight. This is the most exciting matchup for me since the 2014 season. This is the way it's supposed to be. Bring it on!

I listened to a lot of pre-game analysis, and even the 49ers' media seem to think that things are heavily in the Seahawks' favor. The Shanahan/Saleh factor might keep the game close, but the talent deficit for the 49ers is too great.

A couple of my own observations: I think that Ji'ayir Brown being out is significant. Having a starting safety out should negatively impact their already suspect secondary. With the 49ers focused on trying to stop the run, Darnold can hopefully exploit this weakness.

Second, a lot is riding on Macdonald's preparation for his first playoff game as a head coach. It's a tall order, matching wits with one of the best coaches in the NFL. But if he got the team ready and can make adjustments on the fly, the Seahawks will be okay.

Third, I think the 12s will be there in full force for the first time this season, and that will carry the team to victory.

I hope to see very few red white and gold jerseys in the crowd.

Yeah, they did a great job of holding the Seahawks to 13 pts. :/
Yes, it was 13 points, and scoreboard and all that, but anyone who actually watched the game knows that it easily could have been 26 points, and the game felt a lot more like a 26-3 game than a 13-3 game. Whatever. Enough talking. Make it happen boys!!

I'm heading out for a round of golf with my wife and a couple buddies. There's no damn way I can just sit around all day just waiting for the game.

Plus, this is about as glorious as the weather gets in the PNW in January.
Totally agree with you, it's 77F now, will reach 80F this afternoon.

Yes, it was my snarky comment to the 49er poster who stated that they held the Seahawks to 13 pts... I tried to be subtle about it, by saying "great job".

Yeah well I wasn't subtle.

I was like "Your defense did a 'great job' in causing Myers to miss 2 FGs. Your defense is 'elite'." 🙃
