I foresee a media "flip of the script" after the Niners return the favor and win by 20 at home. All the buzz will be who really does own the NFC West, and the Niners will be the pesky 5th seed that nobody wants to play! They'll push their streak to 5 years in a row of winning at home vs the Seahawks, and the narrative will be the home team wins. Can the Niners go to SEA and win?

Russell Wilson will be contained, but more importantly, their running attack will get stuffed (which was different from last year in SF). The Niners will have a small lead in a defensive battle (13-10 Niners at half). The Niners will score a TD on their first possession of the third quarter, forcing SEA to shift toward the passing game... and immediately intercept Wilson (Reid for his 4th of the season). The Niners will hit a big TD pass on that momentum shift, our "Chunk Play", and in a matter of minutes the score will go from 13-10 to 27-10. After a surrendering a long TD drive to the Seahawks capped by a Russell Wilson rushing TD, the Niners drive and hit a field goal to make it 30-17. Aldon Smith gets a sack and forces a long 3rd down attempt, which fails and forces the Seahawks to go for it on 4th down, coming up short. The Niners then get another bonus time rushing TD (Hunter) when the Seahawks are psychologically devastated and the game is essentially over.

Final score NINERS 37-17.... BOOOM!!!

Finally, a 49ers fan in this thread. Haven't seen one in a while.

i like the sound of it but its lame as f**k to predict specific plays cuz no one is ever right lol.

I just hope the refs watch all the holding and the PI's SEA gets away with.

Considering Sherman will most likely be staying on his own side, this game is on Greg Roman. Will he put his head in his butt and not take advantage of any obvious mismatches (Boldin or Crabs vs DB #2, Vernon vs LB, or Gore running to the side where Vernon will be blocking a Safety). G-Ro better not f**k this one up.

Please, elaborate! I've felt really good about every team that they've played as far as matchups go (minus our o-line injuries of course but those are no longer an issue). Would be interesting to hear details about this.

If we have a weakness, in my mind it's been consistency in run defense but in the 2-3 games in which they gave up BIG yardage it seemed to boil down to mental mistakes rather than matchups. Same in the secondary.

Your team is ranked 14th in average yards allowed per run at 4.1 yards per carry. SF only ran Gore 9 times in SEA. Let's see, we go into the loudest stadium in the league and tried to get cute with our QB passing 28 time while allowing the strength of this team, OL, to create a path for Gore only 9 times.

I understand Gore only gained 16 yards but our first drive in the second half was when Gore went for 5, 3, and 4 yards. We were moving the ball but then ended up getting down 16 points and never established a run-game.

It was THE dumbest game plan we could ever try to execute in C-Link. You want some interesting information about our game plan in week 2?

We ran 47 out of 55 plays from SHOTGUN. Let me see, the loudest stadium where hearing is an issue and we run shotgun for the entire game.Guess which drive we scored our only 3 points on? It was the drive where we went shotgun only 5 out of 9 plays. It was the drive where Gore got his 5, 3, and 4 yards.

It was literally the dumbest game plan. We never attempted to quiet the crowd and establish our run.

Honestly, I think Jim experimented that game and was f**king around. I really hope so because it was dumb.

hopefully these douchebags dont cut block any more of our linemen out of the game like last time

So for all of that, your only point about the holes in SEA's defense is their ranking in rushing y/c? The rest of it is your issues with your OC.

SEA's YPC of 4.1 is ranked 14th but they've given up the 3rd fewest points rushing (24). The top 5 teams in YPC? NYJ (2.9), AZ (3.5), CLE (3.5), BAL / CAR (3.7). How many of those teams are a legitimate playoff team, one? Only 2 of the top 10 teams with a better YPC ranking have given up fewer points to the rush.

SEA has the #1 DVOA ranking in defense overall (11th rushing, 1st passing). There's no arguing that their average YPC figure is high, but it's due to 2-3 games with poor performances that bump your average. SF's YPC has been impacted in the same way (4.0) but they've given up more than twice as many points (54). Further, SEA has only given up a single rushing TD that resulted in the other team taking the lead. That said, it would seem that SEA handles the rush extremely well inside the red zone (where it counts).

As for week 2, Gore averaged 1.8 yards per carry in that game and I've gone back and forth on this exact topic with several others on this board so hopefully I can avoid having to do that again. Maybe had you guys run more or run less shotgun he would have broken a couple of 15+ yarders but you're operating on assumption and I couldn't care less what might have happened. I've seen the threads here and you guys have a million different ideas about how you can call plays better than Roman. That's between you and him but don't use hypotheticals about a game that you lost to try and poke holes in the SEA defense.

I'd like to see a screen called every now and then too, but keep in mind the Saints are the best screen team in the league and they couldn't get it going against Seattle.

The last two times we played, these douchebags took two of our players out for the season, Manningham last season and Ian Williams this year. I'm not surprised if these fuccers are doing it on purpose, Saints(Greg Williams) style. One of Pete "The Cheat" ways of cheating. Carroll's motto, "If you can't win your one-on-one matchup, take his fuccing legs out and take him out of the game." These guys are dirty just like their coach. Karma is a Bit€h for them Seahwaks!

Niners!

Vance needs to have a big day in order for us to win. The only person to score a TD on the Seahawks these last 3 games for us was Delanie Walker. He's now gone so we have to use Vance more. The way the run game has been struggling, I dont see it magically reappearing against the seahawks of all teams. We need to use a lot of different variation with receiver groups. Especially with those WR bunch formations.

Oh, they'll be watching. They wont do anything about it, but they'll be watching.

Ha! Was just thinking the same. NFL officiating at it's finest.

100 pages and the game is still two days away. Do think this game is slightly anticipated?
