Go Niners.


That was my thinking on this as well. Not to mention I can't stand Sherman.

Richard Sherman? The only football player from Compton to ever have graduated from the elite academic school of Stanford? The player who puts as much time into charitable work as anyone in the league? This 5th round draft pick who made himself into the best cornerback in the league in just a few seasons, after only playing the position for two years in college? What's not to like about this guy? He's a shining example of the student athlete who actually took his education seriously, a person who gives back to the community as much as he takes from it. who overcame long odds and short expectations through hard work to become the best at what he does in the world.

Yes, in a way. Sherman did not like Harbaugh personally. So he moved from offense to defense after his sophomore season where he would have to interact with him less.

As for Harbaugh...

The Seahawks own the Niners. The game will be close at halftime, 10-10. After that, Seattle will pull away including a pick 6 from Sherman. Seattle goes to the Super Bowl .I have no idea why 49er fans are so confident after the 2 ass-whoopings the Seahawks delivered on them in 2 straight years in Seattle.
SEA 28-13

Denver vs New England will be a classic back-and-forth game from 2 great QB's. GW FG to send Tom Brady and co. to the Super Bowl.

NE 38-35
Handsome.

It doesn't matter, SF will win the SB. SF is 4 points from having a 15 game winning streak, better start looking carefully at the facts. Russell Wilson is finally living up to the 5'10 QB that he is.

5'10" and 5/8, Sir. Russell Wilson packs more leadership, intelligence, character and ability into 5/8's of an inch than Colin Kaepernick does into his entire frame. It's always proven to be a fool's errand to sell Russell Wilson short. It's pretty clear that he's been lullabying the competition into a false sense of security these past few weeks. He's got all of his detractors right where he wants them now. Prepare for the pounce!

The key "fact" that has been overlooked about this meeting is when the 49ers and Seahawks met for the second time this year. The game was in San Fran, there was so much more riding on the game for the Niners than the Hawks, they were pumped sky high for it, knowing it was somewhat of a must win for them, and yet...if not one for one missed tackle on a Frank Gore run, the Seahawks win the game. But the Niners did, they eked out a 19-17 win at home by the hair on their chinny-chin-chins.

Now they return to the Clink, where they have been massacred the last two outings, and the Hawks having just as much to play for as them.

This is the playoffs, the past doesn't mean much. SF will stack the line and it will be over for the Seahwaks. He has been crap the last month and the league is finally figuring him out as they do with every QB. He can thank the heavens that he has Marshawn Lynch or he would be considered a very average QB at best right now. Once the Seattle running game disappears sometime next season, Wilson will be considered a mediocre QB. Book this post

Niners won the last meeting running a half speed Crabtree, how are the Seahawks going to handle a Healthy Crantree running with Boldin and Davis? The Niners have been able to move the ball comfortably recently against elite defenses on the road like Carolina and Arizona, both of whom were on winning streaks playing lights out. Seattle limped into the postseason and looked mortal last week against New Orleans. Things are lining up for the Niners but it could still go either way depending on how the Niners handle the crowd noise and protect the football. Seattle's offense is utterly unintimidating, it all depends if the Niners offense can avoid putting their defense in a tight spot. Turnovers must be avoided, but specifically turnovers giving the Seahawks the ball in Niner territory.

It's about who is hot at the right time and they are peaking. I think the streak displays a level of hidden dominance. Too many people slept on them.The Niners play physical and have balance. I don't think Seattle is well balanced at all, the receivers they have are garbage.

I'm so ready for some Football right about now. The NBA has been kind of boring me this past week. Tomorrow will finally put all this gibberish going on sports television shows about who's the better QB between Brady or Manning and how the great the Seahawks secondary is and constant questions about whether or not the Niners could win up in Seattle, etc. to an end

I'm just ready to get this over with

You seem so confident that it's not going to be close, how about we make a bet? What is your final score prediction on the game?
