1 yard from the line, engaged, no illegal block downfield. It's elementary.

except there was.......

You can keep repeating this but only on the say-so of an Ex-49er.

Let me ask you, why would you second guess all the zebras on that play who had clear LOS of Unger in favor of an opinion that confirms your bias? Is this kind of thing for fun you?

Funny thing about bias - it can pop up in all sorts of interesting places. Such as discounting Eric Davis' analysis because he is an ex-49er.

The specious underlying logic being that as an ex-49er, Eric Davis is somehow motivated to judge unfairly against the Seahawks because many years after Eric retired a 49er-Seahawk rivalry has come up, powerfully overriding any motivation Eric might have to provide quality analysis in his current career.

Is this kind of thing fun for you?

Seattle fans, always right since 2012.

LOL at Seahawks fans coming in here and trying to act as the voice of reason. Pretty easy to do coming off of a super win. I look forward to playing you guys in SF so we can once again expose your team for what they really are. A good team that is made much better because of the advantages of where they play.

You can bash me all you want but the stats are all there to back me up. Of course Seahawks fans will somehow still deny this.

If the Hawks were to play as good on the road as they do at home, then that would mean we have no HFA. We're 6-8 wins at home, 4-6 wins on the road. I'm okay with that. Theoretically all teams should be at least 1-2 wins better at home vs the road.

p.s. The last two losses to the Niners at the Stick was by a combined 8 points. I'd hardly call that being "exposed". A good team lost to another good team by a close margin on the road. Being exposed would be more like coming off a 3 TD victory at home, then losing to that same team by like 2-3 TDs on the road.

Every Hawk fan is so obsessed with point differential.

True, but I think the point is that Seattle's HFA is worth a 20+ point swing, especially on primetime. I don't think you walk into a place like Lambeau, the Superdome, or Levi's and consistently destroy the other team like you do at Clink. It really is a unique advantage.

But ultimately, it comes down to playing well. Either you do, or don't. There are factors at CLink that go beyond football that makes it difficult on the visitor, but it's no excuse.

Only because they dont know football, schemes, concepts, etc.. Its a chess match and sometimes strategies work better than others leading to different scores... but in the end its one game. And its always one game at a time

only stats that matter are W / L

I think there is something to the point differential in these games, but ultimately it just doesn't matter. I am more interested in the way the game was played and how it got there than I am the actual differential. The last game in The Stick was one I figured would be a close game, but I figured a victory anyways. It did not come easy, but we did get it despite a late Hags lead.

They are plenty good, but the Hags seem to get what I have deemed the "Hagalanche" when they play at home, something they don't experience while in SF. They have been on the lucky side of a play, that leads to an even bigger play, that compounds into something where all of a sudden they have a 2 TD lead. The Niners avoided it in the NFCC, they actually almost let it happen with the strip sack, then the pick, only the Hags didn't get the cheap points to increase the margin. I think that skews the numbers a little bit and that they are much closer than the last 2 regular season games at the Stink suggest.

Nicca what

Tha fuvk

are SeahawK fans?

No, he took one step forward. He is less then one yard away from the next closest lineman. And the linebacker he blocked was on the other side of the field than the WR.

No. The rule is clear. More than 1 yard down field is considered illegal.

Percy Harvin stepped out of bounds on Seattle's first touchdown today. The play was not reviewed and the call went in Seattle's favor. Time for this topic to be bombarded with 15 pages of confirmation bias.
