And even if the game was in Seattle, I'd still be plenty nervous. They have a shot IF they play their best game of the year. Just like the Niners will have a shot in Seattle if they do the same.
I think the 49ers reasonably should beat the Seahawks handily if you were symply to break down the numbers on the individual opposing units.
The problem is that games aren't played that way. Wilson is a HUGE X-Factor and has it in his ability to defy rankings.
It doesn't matter that the 49ers are on a historic pace for Pass D. Thats Wilson over there. 22TDs, 1 INT, leader for MVP.
I've been burned by that guy WAY, WAY too often to underestimate him.
Burned by him WAY, WAY too often by that guy when we had a significantly inferior team and/or when they had the LOB. Now we have the superior defense.
All they have is him. Legion of Boom is gone and they barely beat average to below average teams this year. I think they lose to Carolina next week as well.
I expect a convincing win on Monday. And I'm not alone. 49ers have a right to have a swag right now. Let's see if the Hawks can humble us. Highly doubtful but we will see. Until they do, I will remain cocky based on our performances on the field this year relative to what Seattle has done. We are playing for the division and home field advantage and will be focused on 11 days rest against Sherman's old team. I expect a high level of play from our defense.
Only fear I have is a Jimmy WTF pick six or if Dre Greenlaw will be able to hold up in coverage in replacing Alexander. If he plays like sh** allowing 3rd down conversions, then the game will be a lot closer than I am anticipating. Kwon Alexander was an important piece in terms of coverage. This is nullified if the DLine does what it does.
Can't wait for Monday night.
Well Mr. I just walked in the door, where were you before 8 - 0, 7 - 2 is so inferior, yes we will see how things work out, but with all due respect to Marvin and 5 Rings and even Ninester, you are exactly the type of fan that makes people cringe to see people suddenly wear red and gold, followed closely by Washington49er who just wants to stir $h!t up regardless.
Considering your toughest opponent has been the Rams and unlike the 49ers we have played the Saints and the Ravens which are 6 - 2 and the Saints 7 - 1 there is actually no room to talk, 49ers have a offensive coach who wants to score and we have always played defensive football with closer scores. You can look that up but we won't wait for it, your attention span wouldn't be long enough to look at it all.
We don't expect to blow the doors off the 49ers, we mostly respect the 49ers and only really Question Garoppolo as a legitimate franchise guy still. That's the difference here.
Last time we had this type of fandom come in here it didn't work out so well, really it was just the TIP of the downfall going forward.
