here it is - the early game of the year in the NFL. i'm confident not cocky. niners are obviously a good team.

24-20 seahawks.

fuck i can't wait for this shit.

If we win, I'm not gloating, because its likely we're seeing the guys again in the post season. If we lose, then whatever, because sometimes losing to tough teams on the road happens, and all I really care about is the post season.

So yeah, hope the game is fun, but I ain't getting worked up over it.

I will say these dudes are out of their minds with that bet though.

i just think it's gonna be fun but win or lose i'm not one to overreact.

at this point i'm even less likely to overreact since we have so many guys who are injured but will be back later in the year.

namely 'cause folks are still hanging their hat on last season's 42-13 shellacking up there.

and seattle didn't look good most of the game against carolina.

I'm just not sure the bar has been set to that level here yet. I mean you can talk about it all you want but the actual fear of failure those 80s teams had is a rare thing and usually only comes out of a ridiculous amount of prior success.

you should be able to beat your divisional rival in their house from time to time, without relying on a tavaris jackson fumble to seal the W.

And in this case that's clearly Seattle. Their whole 'what they hope is a title run' is built around two things.. defending their home field and beating the 49ers.. tonight it's both. Seattle plays on a ton of emotion so if they can get it going earlier I won't be shocked if the thing spirals into a double digit win. But if they fail to handle their business tonight it's a real monkey wrench in what Pete's selling up there.. It's only week 2 so while I wouldn't quite call it a catastrophic loss, it will be a very painful one with some potential fall out if they end up struggling a little on the road (as I expect them to) this year.

38 Seahawks
27 49ers

I don't have THAT many complaints yet, besides that dumb-ass interception. That was pretty fucking stupid though.

these lighting strikes and thunder are bananas.

it's gonna be awhile.

wonder what happens if they can't resume.

when did he retire?

>when did he retire?

Basically after Hutch left but...























...was nice to have em back in the building & might've played a role in that Lynchin

out someone blowing a whistle.

before the snapped the ball i looked at my girl and said 'why are they blowing the whistle...the playclock is good and there's no flags'

if I was confused i'm sure it was worse on the field. oh well.

and you see most of the players had reset realizing play wasn't stopped... so it's pretty much on them at that point

Obviously no way to tell where it came from unless you wanna zoom in on each ref and examine their cheek movements.

Got thrown out too

All is well

My buzz is killed

>My buzz is killed

this is just random.

So shut it




















Yer mouth not the roof

another goodell/nfl surreptitious attempt to slide in that 18-game schedule?

I think Seattle fights this thing to a win but I'm feeling pretty good about how this division is going to shake out

The pick & that hit on Ky

That run play was vicious, Niners lineman never stood a chance

.

These fucking penalties are sickening.

like...no fun league for real.

can you imagine some old school players trying to play in this day and age w/ these rules? HAHAHAHA.

Terrible numbers @ CLink

Behold my works,ye mighty

1) weak ass throw Kaep

2) VD just coasted expecting it to drop in his hand


put a fork in.

Kap about to have one less eyebrow

someone fucked up so I missed almost all the first half, but I've seen enough:

1) Seattle is a very good team. At home, they're like GREAT. The crowd gets behind them and they turn it up a notch. With that in mind, we HAVE TO BE SMART AND NOT SCREW OURSELVES WITH THESE DUMBASS PENALTIES. the margin of error is small enough without that foolishness factoring in.

2) On these turnovers, Kaep is throwing bullshit ass soft passes. If you're gonna force it in tight coverage, USE THAT FUCKING CANNON

3) We are not the same football team when we're not running the ball. It sets the tone on both sides of the ball, and opens up our passing game. No question Kaep is more of a dynamic weapon on offense, but we STILL have to establish the ground game; Roman needs to stick with that shit and not abandon it so soon. 9 carries for 16 yards? you just stop on that?

4) y'all can try to downplay it but this is twice in a row that Seattle straight buttfucks us. this is a PROBLEM. they're taking it to us and whupping our ass physically. even in the game we won last year, seattle's receivers dropped some huge passes from Russ so it's not like we blew them out like they have us.

5) i'm glad we're getting beat up so damn bad in week 2. will keep us focused and humble so that we can fix our problems. bottom line, we need to start preparing better to hit these motherfuckers in the mouth.

i ain't gonna talk too much tho.

it's a long season.

49ers are a good team.

i'm mostly excited because we got a gang of starters hurt who will be back, and we played like shit and still dominated. if we can get both sides of the ball to click at the same time, watch out.

Paired with his black visor, he looked pure evil.

.

and yeah, it looks dope

I remember wondering last week what our passing attack would look like against an elite secondary like Seattle's


have my answer


luckily, we won't have to face too many secondarys like that before we get Crabtree (and possibly Manningham) back

2. Seattle played with a sense of urgency that we clearly did not. They played like they have something to prove. This was a big game for them..they were calling it the biggest regular season game in franchise history... It was a big game for us in the nature that we were playing a team that treated this like a big game.

3. We didn't learn anything new from this game. Seattle is a true threat. Cool. If we lose to them at home later in the season, then i'll trip

Yeah, uh, it might be time to trip...

Because if the Seahawks get homefield advantage, Niners might as well not even show up for the 'offs.



Anytime you play a division rival twice in a row and they dominate you in every phase of the game on the way to embarassing blowout victories...there is a problem.

Obliterated twice in a row by your greatest division rival but everything is fine.


*chuckles to self*


okayplayer

We were never comfortable running the ball and if you take that away, Kaep's arm isn't on the level it should be for us to ride it with a struggling run game. He's a few seasons away from that. We didn't plow away at the line last week but GB isn't as good defensively as Seattle is.

Seattle is REALLY good and a VERY tough place to play.

We need to win the division because seeing them in the postseason up in their place? Smh.

^^^^^See's it

Both the Packers and Hawks were able to neutralize the ground game but the difference between the two defenses is that the latter didn't have to commit linebackers because the front 4 was winning the battles up front which allowed them to sit in coverage on any short to intermediate routes which when combined with Seattle's nasty man-man coverage created either really really tight or no windows for Kaep (on the contrary, GB was utilizing predominantly zone looks to try and mitigate the fact that they had to commit linebackers and Vernon/Anquan ate them up between the seams.

just call a straight fucking play. Trying to make those kind of protection adjustments in that stadium did not work at all. Lynch probably wouldn't have beasted had our D not spent so much damn time on the field. The noise in the stadium is amazing, my ears are still ringing. Glad this happened early in the season and can be put in the rearview. Their fanbase was super hyped like they had just won a ring. Still don't trust them to do that when it matters and they should have had us beat early not just late when Kaep started chucking. We will see them in December and than probably in January just a matter of where.
