I Post Because I Care
The most significant developement to Seattle's spanking of the 9ers at the CLink Sunday evening may not just be the loss to the Hawks by SF.
The one game late in last season may not mean much but two such drubbings by the same team will have the rest of the remaining opponents on SF's schedule studying hard on what Carroll and his staff put together to tame the Niners. No...crowd noise was not as big a deal as one might think. It certainly didn't account for an average point differential of 27.5 pts per contest. It was just noise....not some special magic.
SF plays much the same teams as Seattle thruout the remaining season. In fact the 9ers have somewhat of an advantage in that they play at least two of thier strongest opponents at home in SF.
There was really nothing to "book" on Seattle because so far nothing has worked.
What NOT to do as in the GB game and what to replace "what not to do" with what the Seahawks did may allow a Rams or Falcons team a win in the Bay. Seattle certainly knows by now what works against the 49ers and will have the 4 starting defensive players and Okueng and Harvin to add salt to the wounds next time we play in SF.
SF can only count on the standard 3 point advantage in the rematch. That's a very long way from what's been going on lately in our NFC West rivalry.
