So it cracks me up that all off season, all we heard about was the 49ers and Seahawks, and how dominant those two are. And don't get me wrong, I know there is some hatred there.
And then how they've supplanted Pittsburgh and Baltimore as the best NFL rivalry.
But if you actually look at the results, Seattle has completely dominated SF....
Point differentials in order beginning in Russel Wilson's rookie year:
SF by 6 (in SF)
SEA by 29 (in SEA)
SEA by 26 (in SEA)
SF by 2 (in SF)
SEA by 6 (In SEA - playoffs)
SEA by 16 (in SF)
With the 7th meeting in three years coming in 9 days....in Seattle....after they already beat down the Niners in SF this year.
In 6 games, 3 home games for each team, Seattle is 4-2 with the two losses coming by a combined 8 points. Seattle is plus 69, for an average margin of victory of 11.5 pts
Long story short, the Niners are not on Seattle's level. Not even close. By comparison, let's see how my Rams have done against Wilson and the Seahawks. Point differentials for Rams/Seahawks beginning Russel Wilson's rookie year:
STL by 6 (STL)
SEA by 7 (SEA)
SEA by 5 (STL)
SEA by 18 (SEA)
STL by 2 (STL)
It's important to note that three of these games were played by Kellen Clemens/Austin Davis. Anyway, through 5 contests thus far, SEA is plus 22, for an average margin of victory of 5.4 pts
I'll even go on to guess that Niners lose in Seattle worse than we will in week 17.
Kaepernick looks bad, Harbaugh is all but out the door.
And while we're on the topic of the NFC West, I have never seen Arizona as a credible threat. Arians has done a good job, but I see the Rams and Seahawks as the teams at the top after this year.
