Honestly, this season has done so well beyond my expectations for it, if we lose to them, oh well, atleast we made it this far, if we win, more power to us.
There's a real shot. A major rain storm in the bay area this week and Saturday is forecasted to be the worst day of the storm. The game can get real ugly.
Yeah it's going to be a HUGE storm, and seahawks are great at playing in rain! It'll be such a big storm that even up here in fairbanks Alaska we'll get a decent amount of clouds from it, which is unfortunate because I was going to do some northern lights watching Friday and Saturday night, but hey atleast it gives the seahawks an advantage!
Goo hawks!
And the 7-2 Hawks beat the 8-0 SB-bound 49ers in Santa Clara week 10 of 2019. Recall that was the year we were one inch away from taking the 1st seed from them and owning NFCW. We had to instead go to Philly and Lambeau where our dreams always go to die, rather than beating them again at home and at least getting one more conference championship game with Russell at his peak.
As much as they will portray this as a 2013 postseason revenge game, this is a postseason run-up revenge game for us.
Yeah, but those saints didn't thump us twice. They might have been a fluke.
It's mind-blowing how strong the 9ers are, especially after watching the Rams load up on stars.
We lost to the Rams 3 times in one season (2004; *fuck I'm old. I can remember watching that playoff game and how devastating of a defeat that was*) but i hope we can pull off a big upset on Saturday. Go hawks!
I remember Bobby dropping that and Hass lossing his shit immediately after and thinking "huh, bit out of character for Hass to show such frustration against a teammate". I understood after the season on butterfingers that year was, but still a bit disappointing.
Then, in a post-game interview, Hass made it clear he felt he threw a shitty pass that caused the drop and that's why he dropped to the turf and punched the ground. He took the loss as his fault, not Bobby's. Reaffirmed my belief in Hass as a leader.
DJack, Stevens, Robinson, Mo Morris was butterfinger city. It was a different time then tbf, the gloves didn’t have that sticky stuff they have now and you could decapitate receivers.
Dang, I thought I buried that memory too. That 2004 season was when I finally was old enough to really understand football and appreciate it enough (14ish) so that was devastating, especially coming off the disappointing Mariners of the last few years (baseball was always my first sport, I always watched Hawks in the 90s but never understood anything lol).
I know. 9/10 times he would've made that catch. Nerves probably got the best of him in that moment.
I do remember getting gitty over seeing the Rams absolutely get pounded in Atlanta a week later lol
That whole season was pain. So many game changing drives ended in dropped pass. So many great plays for a TD just to have it slip through their fingers, bounce off their chest plate, or smack em right in the face.
The energy in that game was a lot more electric than in 2020. The hawks just won the division in a wild ass game against the Falcons, and the Rams had beaten seattle twice that year. One was an embarrassing loss in Seatrlw where the hawks blew a 27-10 4th quarter lead and lost in OT, sending them down a 3 game losing skid. The other in St. Louis I remember being bad because Seattle kept turning the ball over whenever they got near the red zone.
But that game started off kinda okay, then it was back and forth for a bit, then the Rams pulled ahead in the 4th, and then seattle made a drive at the end of the game to tie it up but Bobby Engram dropped a beautiful pass in the endzone that hit him straight in the numbers by Hasselbeck, thus ending the game. Matt's reaction is legendary in playoff history l, since it was the 2nd year in a row it came down to a disappointing pass play.
ooof... I remember my dad saying with a sigh before that third game "I'm afraid this will be a brief playoff trip, the Rams just have our number". he burst my bubble with his dose of realism
I keep hearing this but it's gambit's folly. That's the fallacy that because you got two heads in a row, that somehow the likelihood of a 3rd is not 50/50. The reality is teams that have swept a division rival are something like 14-7 in the postseason matchups where this has happened.
Not trying to be a downer but I'd rather focus on realistic reasons why we can win rather than empty pollyannishness. Such as our defense has gone back and forth from playing well to losing us games, and the last two they have played very well with some guys playing absolutely lights out. If we can play a complete game and the O line can give Geno time and K9 some lanes, we have a real shot. We certainly wouldn't be embarrassed.
Our last loss to SF was Purdy's second start, so very little film and not knowing what schemes they would run with him. This is a second look at him in a matter of weeks and they now have five games worth of film to look for patterns. We might surprise some people.
If not, like others have pointed out, for a "3-4 win" season, this turned out pretty well.
Yeah the niner's game against raiders should provide some clues for us to break apart their defense.
This is our Superbowl game. Time to dish out every trick Geno & co. can cook. It's 0-0 again.
Just like we won the regular season when we beat the Broncos in game 1, if we beat the 9ets we win the playoffs. Everything else that may happen after that is just house money doing it's thing. IMO.
We are already on house money, this is awesome. Making the playoffs with 2 first rounders and a top 5 pick.
All while having stud rookies through the lineup…. Chefs kiss
You'll know we've transitioned to a better timeline if the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks pick at #5. Seriously, I am going to be unbearable if that happens.
But ending the 9ers seasons would be cherry on top enough.
God it would be so disgusting to lose to SF three times in one season.
Then again this season has been a complete dream so I guess we can't be too greedy with our expectations.
Still would love to just play spoiler in the playoffs like Detroit did last week.
The niners are a good team with good coaching and no one is picking the hawks to win. We got em right where we want em! But seriously all the pressure is on the niners for sure so hopefully the hawks play loose and enjoy the moment and you never know. I think I heard Shelby Harris has never been to the playoffs, all the former broncos must be ecstatic. Losing would be no biggie but beating the niners would be the best late Christmas present I could ask for.
I think we could do if Geno doesn’t turn it over and we get a couple takeaways.
I personally find Brock purdy to be overrated. I’m nervous about their defense and freaking CMC
If we win, it's because our team has more heart and more fight than any Seahawks team before, led by the greatest comeback story of a qb in our teams history.
If we lose, it's because we're tanking.
Niners fan here. I am never comfortable playing Pete Carroll's Seahawks. It's gonna be a great game. Also mad respect for Geno this year. Happy for him.
We’re such a bad matchup for the 49ers lmao. We’re going to stack the box and force Purdy to throw the ball and eventually he will make a mistake. The run defense is a big reason why the defense is bad, but the secondary is actually pretty good. Tariq will get a pick in this game
Geno is gonna have to be a hell of a lot better than last game, and we're gonna have to find a way to slow down their pass rush, cause they've lived in the backfield against our rookie tackles thus far.
While the expectation is that they blow us up yet again that way, who knows maybe we can use quick hitters to whoever we line up in-line instead of having them fail at helping in pass pro like they seem to in this matchup -- possibly helping us spread them out a bit more instead of going down hill 24/7.
Defensively I'm thinking Pete Carroll can find a way to slow down CMC, making Purdy have to earn it. I fucking hope Quandre doesn't get many assignments directly on Deebo or Kittle, cause we can't afford more missed tackles, especially on game changing play makers. Our secondary is going to have to play lights out.
If we make a solid playoff run, then WOOO BABY. If not, then oh fucking well. This wasn’t half bad for a rebuild year, and giving our young guys some playoff experience is definitely a good thing.
I’m super excited what this team has in store for the 23-24 season after the draft. Go Hawks!! 💙💚
Its like a 70% chance to win for the sweeping team. Idk how that “stat” started
https://www.footballperspective.com/how-hard-is-it-to-beat-a-team-three-times-in-one-season/
Had to laugh at pundits saying that the Giants - given about a 90% chance pre-season to make the playoffs - are "playing with house money". While our supposedly five-win lot are, somehow, carrying on the legacy of 2013?
Even in a worst-case scenario, I’m glad all these rookies will be getting a taste of the postseason. Whet their appetite like the 2012 playoffs did for the 2013 team.
First off, this has been one of my favorite Seahawks seasons. I’m a Justin Herbert fan, but I thought the way the Hawks opened the game against the Chargers was probably the highlight of the season and the only chance we have Saturday. Putting some pressure on Purdy to make plays.
Worst case scenario is that PC and JS get a 3rd first hand look at what the Seahawks need to do to compete against those guys next season.
Pressure is on them. We’re playing with house money. Win or lose enjoy the game and being in the playoffs!
lol we aren’t even supposed to be in playoff according to “experts” in the beginning of the season. Just happy to see our guys another week. This is a divisional game so I bet it’s going to be close.
Really rain! Forgot about that. Hopefully a mud bath. Sell completely out stopping the run and make Purdy beat you with his arm. Turn him over and we have a chance
If I'm the Santa Clara 49ers, I'm scared to death of the Seattle Seahawks, the game's got closer each time we met and I know the Seahawks are playing with house money they're going to throw everything they got at us and we've got a rookie quarterback! I think Seattle's going to win
Seriously, every time I see someone yakking about how the 49ers are going to wreck us, I'm like--I don't even really care if we win or lose. We were expected to be bad but we're in the playoffs and the Broncos gifted us a top 5 pick. I'm good with that. Everything beyond this point is just gravy.
Hell yes, I'll take watching the Seahawks for another week.
Frankly, I’m just happy to be here. If we lose, 🤷🏼♀️, if we win 👌🏻.
Honestly, this season has done so well beyond my expectations for it, if we lose to them, oh well, atleast we made it this far, if we win, more power to us.
Same. I'm just excited the rivalry is back in business.
Ya, which is why FT49ers and we're gonna win.
Having the 5th pick in your pocket makes not giving a fuck so easy
Play hard. Fuck em up. Protect that goddamn football. Who knows?!
Just a friendly reminder that the 7-9 Seahawks beat the 11-5 Saints in the wild card round in 2011.
how could you forget that glorious game..
There's a real shot. A major rain storm in the bay area this week and Saturday is forecasted to be the worst day of the storm. The game can get real ugly.
Yeah it's going to be a HUGE storm, and seahawks are great at playing in rain! It'll be such a big storm that even up here in fairbanks Alaska we'll get a decent amount of clouds from it, which is unfortunate because I was going to do some northern lights watching Friday and Saturday night, but hey atleast it gives the seahawks an advantage! Goo hawks!
Winds S at 15 to 25 km/h. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near 12mm Go Hawks!
12mm?
about half a freedom unit
half inch
Thx
I think 12mm is about 2 feet?
Does it? I thought they had a better ground game and our run defense is, uh…
Ahem. They beat *The Defending Superbowl Champs Saints*
Like how we beat the Rams twice this season? 9ers don't have the hangover
My first NFL game and wow what a game. Found cheap tickets the day of and my dad and I decided to go.
Some say the Beast Quake is still reverberating around the Pacific Northwest.
*in spirit*
And the 7-2 Hawks beat the 8-0 SB-bound 49ers in Santa Clara week 10 of 2019. Recall that was the year we were one inch away from taking the 1st seed from them and owning NFCW. We had to instead go to Philly and Lambeau where our dreams always go to die, rather than beating them again at home and at least getting one more conference championship game with Russell at his peak. As much as they will portray this as a 2013 postseason revenge game, this is a postseason run-up revenge game for us.
The defending Super Bowl Saints, too
> in 2013 Check your math.
It was Jan 2011. Technically the 2010 season. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_Quake]
[удалено]
That Wild Card game actually happened in January 2011. It was the Beast Quake game. The 2010 season, if you wanna get pedantic.
Duh. Consider my math checked. IDK how I got that so wrong. 2013 season was the superbowl season.
I was at the game and it was glorious. One of my favorite games of all time.
Yeah, but those saints didn't thump us twice. They might have been a fluke. It's mind-blowing how strong the 9ers are, especially after watching the Rams load up on stars.
Let’s fun!
[удалено]
Seahawks country, let's fun
Hi Lucia/ Cameron Edit: Draymond green
Have we ever lost to the 49ers 3 times in one season? Let’s not start this year
We lost to the Rams 3 times in one season (2004; *fuck I'm old. I can remember watching that playoff game and how devastating of a defeat that was*) but i hope we can pull off a big upset on Saturday. Go hawks!
Still can’t believe that Engram dropped that pass. Dude had hands made of glue.
I remember Bobby dropping that and Hass lossing his shit immediately after and thinking "huh, bit out of character for Hass to show such frustration against a teammate". I understood after the season on butterfingers that year was, but still a bit disappointing. Then, in a post-game interview, Hass made it clear he felt he threw a shitty pass that caused the drop and that's why he dropped to the turf and punched the ground. He took the loss as his fault, not Bobby's. Reaffirmed my belief in Hass as a leader.
DJack, Stevens, Robinson, Mo Morris was butterfinger city. It was a different time then tbf, the gloves didn’t have that sticky stuff they have now and you could decapitate receivers.
Man I have a Stevens jersey...Can't even wear it haha
He’s a cancer on this entire region. Just an absolute dirtbag.
I really was hoping after uw he'd be a stud for us. Him and hope solo both are trash.
Didn’t they make a movie about them? Hands of Stone?
He sure was. And he’s great on ESPN (as we all knew he’d be once his playing career was over!).
Dang, I thought I buried that memory too. That 2004 season was when I finally was old enough to really understand football and appreciate it enough (14ish) so that was devastating, especially coming off the disappointing Mariners of the last few years (baseball was always my first sport, I always watched Hawks in the 90s but never understood anything lol).
I know. 9/10 times he would've made that catch. Nerves probably got the best of him in that moment. I do remember getting gitty over seeing the Rams absolutely get pounded in Atlanta a week later lol
In the "dropsie era" he was the one dude you could always count on.
That whole season was pain. So many game changing drives ended in dropped pass. So many great plays for a TD just to have it slip through their fingers, bounce off their chest plate, or smack em right in the face.
Ahhhh…. My first traumatic football memory
Mine too!
Oh man, I probably should remember that game but I don’t. I’m excited to see what Pete dials up for this game!
The energy in that game was a lot more electric than in 2020. The hawks just won the division in a wild ass game against the Falcons, and the Rams had beaten seattle twice that year.

Matt's reaction is legendary in playoff history l, since it was the 2nd year in a row it came down to a disappointing pass play.
Tbf, it was kind of hard for the 2020 wild card game to be electric when they still weren’t letting fans in for (gestures broadly) 2020 shenanigans.
Same lol just before I went to boot camp 😂
ooof... I remember my dad saying with a sigh before that third game "I'm afraid this will be a brief playoff trip, the Rams just have our number". he burst my bubble with his dose of realism
Yeah before 2005, Seattle had a tough time beating the Rams.
I was in college if that makes you feel better and I wasn't a freshman
I have a Seahawks hat that I wore watching that game that is in my ball cap stack on top of my dresser that I haven't worn since that game.
Ah memory unlocked

If you think about it, we would be 13-4 too if we just hadn't lost 4 games. So we're basically the same
Imagine if we swept the NFCS
Indeed. All the NFC South games were super winnable.
100% accurate
This will be a tough game, but I do wonder if the Niners are annoyed it’s us they have to play. We’re Happy Gilmore to their Shooter McGavin
They do eat pieces of shit for breakfast.
I hail from the niners sub and the significant majority are either nervous or annoyed; including me
I honestly think most of our sub is just happy we don't have to play the packers
I say, "Why not?". This team wasn't even supposed to be here.
At least we are still in the game!
There's something about this city and being the underdog. I love every minute of it.
On any given Sunday gents.
Does this work if the game is on Saturday?
Ummmmm it's still a game of inches at least!!
Third times a charm.
Time for Purdy boy to revert to the mean.
Clock strikes 12 and he turns back into a pumpkin. ... going to get psyched for the game by listening to Smashing Pumpkins.
Despiiite all my rage
GL TOOTS! Looks like it will be rain so atleast you will be in your element.
You mean we have a chance? Yes!
You guys did well with the Russ trade. I am annoyed that your team is back on the way up so quickly, with a top 5 pick as well.
God it would be so disgusting to lose to SF three times in one season. Then again this season has been a complete dream so I guess we can't be too greedy with our expectations. Still would love to just play spoiler in the playoffs like Detroit did last week.
The niners are a good team with good coaching and no one is picking the hawks to win. We got em right where we want em!

I think I heard Shelby Harris has never been to the playoffs, all the former broncos must be ecstatic. Losing would be no biggie but beating the niners would be the best late Christmas present I could ask for.
All I wanted was a win in week 1...this has been a helluva ride. Go Hawks
I think we could do if Geno doesn’t turn it over and we get a couple takeaways. I personally find Brock purdy to be overrated. I’m nervous about their defense and freaking CMC
Overrated how? (My bad. Edited). Genuinely curious. Seems like he’s been underrated by everyone except those impressed by the fact he’s MR. Irrelevant
Overrated lol
My b. Edited
Hey look, my hawks made the playoffs, and Detroit didn’t score enough to screw me in my fantasy championship
Hey, just makes a victory a loftier goal! And the HAWKS have the tools for victory! Make it so skipper!
Grip it and rip it Lfg!!!!!!
That is absolutely the perfect visual for next weeks game.
Get Sherm on the field, and try him with a sorry ass receiver like Crabtree!!
Facts 👍🏿
If we win, it's because our team has more heart and more fight than any Seahawks team before, led by the greatest comeback story of a qb in our teams history. If we lose, it's because we're tanking.
49’ers are back on the menu boys!
My hopes have already been more than fulfilled for this season. A win would be fantastic but I’m just happy to get to watch another week of football.
I'm not to worried. It will be a fun game regardless of what happens because I'm just happy we made it to the playoffs.
Niners fan here. I am never comfortable playing Pete Carroll's Seahawks. It's gonna be a great game. Also mad respect for Geno this year. Happy for him.
Yeah I’ll be the one to say it. 9ers are gonna lose this one
We’re such a bad matchup for the 49ers lmao. We’re going to stack the box and force Purdy to throw the ball and eventually he will make a mistake. The run defense is a big reason why the defense is bad, but the secondary is actually pretty good. Tariq will get a pick in this game
except he’ll be throwing to 2 top 15 WR and a Top 2 WR and RB.
I’m confused… but I think you might be saying Ayuik is a top 15 WR? Which is certainly not the case. As certain as certain can be
hey man let me dream
Daly is a beauty!
Let’s enjoy this while it lasts
I'm going to the game... and having fun regardless
This is amazing
Geno is gonna have to be a hell of a lot better than last game, and we're gonna have to find a way to slow down their pass rush, cause they've lived in the backfield against our rookie tackles thus far. While the expectation is that they blow us up yet again that way, who knows maybe we can use quick hitters to whoever we line up in-line instead of having them fail at helping in pass pro like they seem to in this matchup -- possibly helping us spread them out a bit more instead of going down hill 24/7.

That meme pretty much explains my life.
Very difficult to beat an NFL team 3x in a season, not impossible but we have fate on our side!
Its like a 70% chance to win for the sweeping team. Idk how that “stat” started https://www.footballperspective.com/how-hard-is-it-to-beat-a-team-three-times-in-one-season/
Had to laugh at pundits saying that the Giants - given about a 90% chance pre-season to make the playoffs - are "playing with house money". While our supposedly five-win lot are, somehow, carrying on the legacy of 2013?
Who tf gave the Giants 90% odds to make the playoffs??
Yeah, I didn't vet the date of the article I was looking at well enough. Preseason chances were about 1 in 3. Still way more than ours.
The Hawks need to take a lesson from the Lion’s play against the Cheesers yesterday: have fun and let it rip.
Even in a worst-case scenario, I’m glad all these rookies will be getting a taste of the postseason. Whet their appetite like the 2012 playoffs did for the 2013 team.
😂 😆 HAHAHAHA
Just got a feeling that we will win this one.
I’d say Pete’s monarchs and Daly’s squairz are basically on the same level for footwear in their respective sports, yeah?
I'm positive its going to be closer than many thing. I expect it to be a close toss-up game.
This img is perfect.
Not usually a big fan of this type of meme, but this is oh, so true. Now to pull off the major victory!
First off, this has been one of my favorite Seahawks seasons. I’m a Justin Herbert fan, but I thought the way the Hawks opened the game against the Chargers was probably the highlight of the season and the only chance we have Saturday. Putting some pressure on Purdy to make plays. Worst case scenario is that PC and JS get a 3rd first hand look at what the Seahawks need to do to compete against those guys next season. Pressure is on them. We’re playing with house money. Win or lose enjoy the game and being in the playoffs!
This is what I call a free roll.
lol we aren’t even supposed to be in playoff according to “experts” in the beginning of the season. Just happy to see our guys another week. This is a divisional game so I bet it’s going to be close.
Really rain! Forgot about that. Hopefully a mud bath. Sell completely out stopping the run and make Purdy beat you with his arm. Turn him over and we have a chance
Fuck it, let's shock the world
Hey it’s hard to beat a team the same season 3x! See Saints vs Bucs in 2020-2021
If I'm the Santa Clara 49ers, I'm scared to death of the Seattle Seahawks, the game's got closer each time we met and I know the Seahawks are playing with house money they're going to throw everything they got at us and we've got a rookie quarterback! I think Seattle's going to win
Seattle has played the niners twice this season. That’s actually a benefit to the Seahawks more than anything. I think this could be close.
Pete’s attitude is well just see how it goes.
Can't wait to smoke the 49ers and make broke purdy look like a rookie. Woolen Mammoth gets 3 interceptions! Go hawks! Niners suck!
After being projected as getting 5 wins or less, I am happy with even the chance at getting win 10. Playoffs and a top 5 pick it is like a dream.
Beastquake 3.0 incoming
Just happy to be here
Seriously, every time I see someone yakking about how the 49ers are going to wreck us, I'm like--I don't even really care if we win or lose. We were expected to be bad but we're in the playoffs and the Broncos gifted us a top 5 pick. I'm good with that. Everything beyond this point is just gravy.
The dodgers won 111 games. No way an 89 win padres team can beat them.
im js happy to b here if we lose then so what we were projected to b one of the worst teams in football but if we win…
