Just ban this troll and problem solved

Going back to the main subject here, I find the Seahawks somehow inconsistent this year, in my opinion. The chiefs found themselves trapped during that last game and being 6-0, they were due for their first loss ( they probably going to start losing more games with the way Mahomes played but that's just my 2 cents). Next Seahawks game is against the Bears and like I said, there's a good chance they lose this game because of their inconsistency particularly their 1 dimensional offense.

Seriously. Or just b***h about 49ers fans reacting to a troll. I don't know.

Nah. If it was September or October I would agree but we start slow every year and then catch fire as soon they get a few games in em. There's no way they're losing to the Bears. Nelson and Zabel are step up from Beau Stephens and Christian Haynes which is who the Niners faced in Seattle. It's basically down to Seattle and SF and how each team deals with injury. Emmanwori missed 3 games but is healthy now. O line banged up with practice squad guys playing but are healthy now. They lost 3 early games by a combined 7 points. I doubt they lose another one

Interesting since Zabel started and played every snap against the Niners . Lol jackass

You back to sniffing things again? I think you might be sniffing drywall, buddy

There's some truth to this. But conversely…you could say there is a chunk of the Niner fan base that has some like big brother syndrome in this dynamic as well.

like if you were to objectively just pretend both cities and football teams were a big and little brother with like one that was dominant for a long period of time, then for a long time maybe went quite then stayed in the upper echelon for a while but never could complete the big goal for whatever reasons. Then you got the other that doesn't have the history, but in more recent history has completed the big goal and even beat "big brother" to do so…both times. And "big brother" is pointing at past accomplishments when maybe big brother was a teenager and little brother didn't even hit puberty yet. But once again little brother is now a grown man playing in the same arena with big brother and once again has the more recent wins over big brother even in those cases. Could you blame the dynamic?

Thats where I disagree.. I never once had Seattle on my radar. I didn't measure our team against theirs. Realignment and coaching beef from Stanford vs USC doesn't make a rival. Seattle fans needed a rival because they were never relevant enough in the afc west to even have a rivalry. The concept that this is some longstanding rivalry is revisionist history.

Seattle was not on your radar before, but is it on your radar now in the last 14 years?

Schefter tweeted the Colts are willing to trade Jonathan Taylor now. Carly Irsay is bad for business this could've been addressed last week

They are a standard team who can be in the way by virtue of the playoff bracket/format. But they are never going to be a top 3 true historic rival. Too many rivalries for the 49ers that didn't start in 2012. I get the Seattle fan POV, the team was didn't have any real true rivalries before 2012.

Totally agree. I grew up hating the Broncos and John Elway and still to this day are my most hated team. The Niners have to win a few more games to make it competitive enough to call it a rivalry. Hawks have absolutely owned them. And I include this year as well. Seattle is still the best team in football and really isn't even close

No lies written here. I do point to the offense being the inconsistent part of the Seahawks. The defensive stats if you take away points off of turnovers has been consistently good. Last season the offense still had turnovers, but was dynamic to make up for it. This season the turnovers remained but the dynamic playmaking disappeared.

That's fair. I can see your point especially for Niner fans in the age demographic that were around for those "true rivalries". However, I think for your fanbase of people who are perhaps in their teens to maybe age 40...they may view the Seahawks differently. Let's see the Harbaugh - Carroll rivalry was around 2011-2014? So let's say you a teenager or even in your early 20s at that point watching NFL football, that was about 10+ years ago...making those fans in their early to mid 20s to early to mid 30s. Those same fans even as kids did not watch Niner football with much success/rivalry (I assume you're talking Cowboys, Packers, Raiders) because much of that was in the 90s and they weren't even really born yet...or still in diapers. Bottomline, I think it just depends on the age demographic.

I am in my early 40s, and I think this is why it's funny when I run into Niner fans who are in their 20s to early 30s giving me a hard time about the records of the two teams regarding SB championships. Only because I was at least at an age where I watched those superbowls and could comprehend it vs some of the younger fans pointing to it. I'll be honest I didn't live in the continental US at that time (and didn't really have any team I cared for), I was even rooting for Montana those years (who didn't) but I made WA state my home around 2001.
