One of the keys to victory..

How is he rated vs the blitz? Because that's the only way this D will get pressure until dudes get healthy again.

Hate to say it but I would love to see the Seahawks go the way of the Eagles.
For you conspiracy theorists, the Hawks played their best last year to inflate their value before the team sold. Now the team needs a serious letdown with the new owner who hasn't ruled out moving the team.

I hear the new potential owner of the Seahawks is a relative/son of Larry Ellison, dont know if that is true, but hopefully he doesn't move to team to Oakland!

48ers have won 11 of their last 13 games with the only 2 losses being to Seattle.

Let's see if Kyle can finally outdual Macdonald . Don't want this to turn into another Flores situation

Didn't he do that in their first meeting last season? But yeah, Flores and Scultz seem to give the offense fits.

It's really not a Kyle vs Macdonald thing. Outside of the last two games last year where we were handicapped in a big way you can't really say Macdonald had Kyle's number.

The Ravens game everyone points to in 2023 our offense was moving the ball all over that defense. Most yards allowed by them all year. Out of the 4 picks Brock threw that day really none were scheme related. At worst I'd put the first one on that but even then I think Brock simply didn't see Hamilton.

The other 3 were

batted down screen pass that drops to the ground 99/100 times. This time ended up in Humphrey's hands.
Brock running around improvising and throws to Kittle who imo was interfered with but no call, ball bounces up and ends up in Humphrey's hands again.
Brock gets hit while he's thrown with CMC being open on the play.

With Seattle Kyle and Brock are 2-3 vs MacDonald. But all 3 loses we had key players out on offense as well as no Nick Bosa. Should've swept them in 2024 even with a bad squad but Bosa going out allowed their offense to wake up and score with seconds left to take the lead.

Teh cawkSuckers are relatively healthy and coming into the game with most of the dudes they beat us with twice last year... Niners are coming in with a lot of dudes that weren't around for those 2 games. I don't think it's going to be as close as ppl / analysists think

49ers will win convincingly. BP and the Oline on fire, everyone will be as hyped as Greenlaw was vs Broncos last week #BookIt

True. This weekend we are going to beat the brakes off of them. Mykel is going to gobble up Slingin Sammy and Warner gets an INT.

Brock drops 4 TDs.

Fair enough, but Kyle's offense has not dominated Macdonalds defense in same fashion. There seems to be something about the way he structures his D, especially when he has a Hamilton/emmanwori type S that gives KS offense fits. We shall see. That it sucks we never got to see an. Evans/Pearsall/Stribling trio against Seattle.

Also working on a side field: Nick Bosa.

would be incredible if Bosa plays!! I cant wait to see him and Mykel out there.

Kyle said Bosa is imroving but it doesn't sound like he's quite ready. No reason to push it.

Wrong tech company. A deal has been finalized and the new primary owner is Vinod Khosla the founder of Sun Micro Systems. No connection to Larry Ellison but he was a minority owner in the 49ers. Naturally he had to give that up. I seriously doubt he would move the team from Seattle with that rabid fanbase they have.
