Seattle lost to Arizona Seattle is a really good team no doubt, the thing is, they need to prove it. Reaching the NFC title game and Superbowl is a good start, that's what really good teams do
Talking about road wins Speaking of road games, traveling 3000 miles to play a 10AM game against Carolina next week has to suck, especially against that defense. That won't be fun.
I went to the biggest public school the city, if not state. I'm sure I knew people who were fans of the bay area teams, but I didn't notice them. I did notice people liking the M's because I did not like them. Growing up, everyone wanted to be Griffey. They loved Jay Buhner and Edgar and Arod before he left. Then, by high school (the last year I think), the Ichiro era began and people still loved the M's. I'm sure it's dropped off in the past 5 or so years, but that is what happens to all teams not name the Yankees/Cowboys when they suck. The Seahawks, I have no real memory of, but like I said earlier, I didn't have a team I rooted for, so I didn't pay much attention to which team my friends rooted for. I will say the best seats in a baseball stadium I've ever had were upper deck at AT&T, over looking the bay on a sunny day. That's pretty hard to beat.
Surprised to see you back on this board after your mini-melt. Like I said, I wasn't knocking Seattle. I gave them props. Beating Carolina in Week 1 wasn't so impressive, FYI. AZ, meh. They were starting to heat up. They also lost to AZ. But I don't need to get into a war of words. I don't need to defend my team. You're talking about a whole lotta nothing. You said you like to talk about what your team has done. Well, the Niners are just as far as the Seahawks. And the Niners have been there, done that. Been in the last two NFC Championships, and last year's SB. Niners don't need to talk. They don't need to claw their way into the conversation. They're already there when we review the overall body of their work over the last 3 seasons, including this year.
Don't forget.... Vernon Davis left that Carolina game with the Niners up 6-0 (and about to go up 9-0) in the second quarter. As soon as he went down, their offense died. He hadn't done much, but once he went down, they buried Boldin in coverage. Davis was battling through some other injuries at that point, too. So, add back a healthy Davis and a rising Crabtree, and I like our chances. But it's certainly going to be a dog fight.
They were talking on ESPN how most of the teams with HFA the last several years have struggled through the playoffs. I won't be surprised when it's the same result for Seattle.
And what happened the last couple years is pretty much irrelevant now. No one thinks about it except SF fans.
Well, most teams with a reputation and a history think about it because it exists. Teams that only look at the current moment have nothing else to go on. They're playing today to make history. Like Seattle. But at this moment, Seattle and SF are in the same place.
Agreed. I think I was acknowledging that here, just a few posts above: "My hats off to Seattle. Seattle took the best and only possibly path Seattle could take to try to get to the SB: grab the best record and stay the course with your safety blanket. Niners are one terrible call from having HFA (the Saints game). At the time, looked like no big deal. But look at how different things could potentially be." That's why I say the games today that the Blazers choke away against lesser opponents are important. They will mean something later in the year. I'd certainly rather have HFA, but once the game arrives, no other game matters. You have to play the game, and play until the end.
Hey Roytoy, how long have you been a Seahawks fan? Congrats on your stadium enhanced HCA. It won't do you a bit of good in the Superbowl. Also, I think our best road win just happened. We beat the Packers on their field in -10 with wind chill with the refs allowing all kinds of bullshit.
Any my point is it doesn't help you win games in the future, thus why no one really cares. I don't think Carolina is saying "OMG SF was in the SB last year, we have no chance!". What they know is they went to SF and won this year. That matters more.
I bet you started rooting for the 49ers after they hired Harbaugh The Packers aren't that great, especially their defense. They dropped a lot of interceptions yesterday.
Actually I started back when I was in 7th grade... so roughly 20 years as a Niners fan I think. I just don't remember you crowing about the Seachickens before the last couple years... what's up with that?
I come to this forum to talk about the Blazers. When I talk about the Seahawks I do it in a different place. But just for fun, I searched for posts of me mentioning the Seahawks on this site and found one in 2009 http://sportstwo.com/threads/134162...ver)?p=1887872&highlight=seahawks#post1887872 Best part is it's in the Lakers forum
Really? Why do some players make more than others? Why do people not worry about the Spurs when they lose a bunch? Performance. Known performance. Been there, done that. Durrrrr. You talk a lot. But you don't say much.
You've never played football, no doubt. And you've never played in temps that cold, no doubt. Niners dropped just as many, no doubt. Packs' biggest plays all came with asterisks, if you watched the game (most big plays, even te analysts called out the missed penalties). Keep talkin', though. It's fun watching you go 'round and 'round. Funny how you're anti-Mixum with the Seahawks, and Mixum's twin regarding the Blazers.
I thought you left to talk Blazers elsewhere? Now you're back, and it's like "There goes the neighborhood."
