Why are people calling thus a rivalry game?

The rivalry arguably reached its pinnacle during the Harbaugh era...he & Carroll were definitely adversaries. It's waned a bit in recent seasons, but Carroll & Lynch have a friendly rivalry that should elevate the intensity between the two teams again.

Yeah, I agree, this isn't a rivalry without Harbaugh.

Because "Has-Been" game wouldn't sell tickets?

Seattle fans want this to be a good rivalry again.

Of course. Who doesnt love seeing their team eating turkey on their rival's 50 yard line.

Lol new Nike commercial nailed this rivalry. Russel Wilson juking what seemed like 20 49er defenders on roller skates for an 80 yard TD run.

I saw it. Needless to say I'm not a fan of that commercial

All division games are "rivalry" games

the funny part is that Jed probably signed off on that commercial.

It is a division rivalry, plain and simple. Nothing to hype up, certainly, but still a rivalry. Never pay heed to media hype, it's all nonsensical bulls***. These Seahawks are not the dominant force they once were. Still the better team, but it's not as simple as "the 49ers have already lost before getting off the bus", because that is simply a moronic statement. The Seahawks are the established team desperate to remain relevant, while the 49ers are the young team striving to be where these Seahawks have been. We may yet lose to the Seahawks twice this year, but this is the beginning of the reversal of this rivalry. Where the Seahawks have dominated the rivalry for the better part of the past 15 years, the 49ers will soon have the upper hand.

yeah, maybe in 3 years though. After Wilson gets old and his legs fall off. He won't escape that bad OL forever and deliver circus throws to Baldwin.

And hopefully we'll draft our franchise QB and an OL.

Yall forgot we lost by 2 in week 17 last year?.. Just saying.

Thus is it

Would be christmas seeing the cawks start 0-2.

The only way this is a rivalry is if the hawks get as bad as us.

Otherwise its a rivalry like Wile E. Coyote has a rivalry with a cliff.
