man these seahawks /niners games gonna be on point this season. the only rivalries i cared about were saints / falcants and eagles / cowboys but it seems this might be the new one to pay attention to 
 
Since the topic once again seems to be 49ers-Seahawks.....I posted this in the NFC West thread but it didnt get responded to before it was locked.  Was hoping there could be some replies to this (and I'd rather 49er and Seahawk fans not respond for obvious reasons):
I'd like to know why we don't hear any of the "its only been one season" type of talk about the Seahawks. After Harbaugh's first season all we read on NT was how the 49ers will never be able to repeat the success they had in Harbaugh's first year. Why none of this about Seattle? Its as if they have already arrived and its a foregone conclusion that they'll be in the mix of Superbowl teams. Why isnt NT treating the Seahawks with the same level of respect as it treated the Niners after 2011?

The Seahawks have yet to prove they can win on the road. I mean, they lost road games last year to powerhouse teams like the Rams, Dolphins, Lions and Cardinals last season. This coming season, they have to play the Colts, Panthers, Texans, Falcons and Giants on the road. Their schedule alone should at least raise some questions about whether or not that team can repeat the success from last season. Yet, you dont hear any questioning. Why is that?
Anyone?

My guess is because Russell Wilson is a much sexier QB and more talented than Alex Smith was, so there was a lot of clouded doubt around whether or not he can actually get them to a SB. There's nothing like that with Wilson.

I think you're right though. Seahawks are just the it team right now so they're getting the publicity. Fans as a whole weren't really enamored with SF mainly because of the doubts in Smith. This Seattle team just has that overall fan appeal.

bruh i lived in atl from 97-2012 that name sums up that franchise well,its them damb fans with high hopes every season just to get let down come jan. 

The hell are you even talking about when majority of folks didnt even have us making the playoffs before the start of the season


Weak as black birds. :smh:

Another year of hype and another year of disappointment.


Oh says the guy who said his team was going to win the division right ? You can't even win 10 games...what's losing like ? Because your team been missing the playoffs for a long *** time

bruh yall were favorite to make it out of the nfc especially with new orleans suspensions the only comp yall had was the packers and giants so what the hell are you talking about ? 
 
And you're lying..:I clearly remember the funky *** panthers being favored to win the south at the start of the season...

Thundercat it's so much irony when you talk about teams that are better than yours...yall don't win anything...can you at least make the playoffs ? You're a bottom feeder
 
Brush who called for the panthers to take the division last season ? Cause I damn sure ain't see or hear that .

They were 10 yards away from the Super Bowl. You guys standards are rough.

You don't get a trophy for 3rd place. Ya'll only get a divisional piece of cloth to hang around your stadium to remind you that you failed. You think Novak Djokovic was loving that silver plate he got for finishing second in the Wimbledon? :lol: Son must've ate his dinner on that **** that same night. **** being NFC Champs last year, fact is, we didn't win it and it burns even more that they were so damn close and a few terrible red-zone calls on the last drive. **** it, I don't want to be reminded of that **** :smh: :smh:

Those Seabirds will have a crash-course landing when the Niners come through :pimp:
 
Who said they were asking for a trophy though? He made it seem as if ATL was some overwhelming favorite and somehow because they lost to a team that was 5 yards away from actually winning the Super Bowl that ATL had a failed season.

I just don't get all of the Atlanta Falcons hate in this thread. Its consistent.

according to the folks in atl before every season they are the odd on fav's but last year was their window . all those rookie qb's and hobbled teams and with homefeild throughout the play offs 

but i guess baby steps first its been awhile since they won a playoff game 
 
**** the Falcons.

:lol: you have no clue what a terrible call in the superbowl is
 
And you don't know what watching your team play in the Super Bowl feels like.

And you won't know that feeling in the near future either.
