all i see is you trying to diminish some of their road performances. whether or not sf pasted houston has nothing to do with seattle coming back on them. one could argue since they played houston a week before us, that they totally smashed houston confidence going forward and thus aiding sf the next week. you're playing this style points game where we beat this team by 20+ points, so they should too. thats not how the league works. 2 months ago they were apparently a s**tty road team, now we're attacking the style points in which they win. they dont ask how, they ask how many. they've clearly gotten over the hump they've had playing on the road. having said that, i expect us to win at home. its not always pretty in this league, you're going to struggle sometimes, and what i see of them on the raod is a team that used to find ways to lose, now finding a way to win.
You're still missing the point. Maybe a little context is in order...
The point is not the W or the comeback, it is the way they play when not at home. Win, lose, comeback from a big loss, dominate from the first kickoff, etc it doesn't matter. Its about how the team plays.
We're talking about them being the better team because of their record and I am saying that is simply not true, there is much more to it than record. Seattle has consistently played poorly on the road this season, regardless of how many of those games they won or lost.
And if anyone argued that Houston lost to the 49ers the way they did because of the way the Texans lost to Seattle they don't know anything about professional sports. Yes, it could be argued, but it would be an asinine argument.
Enough with the sports cliches.
