Picking the correct score in the opener two hours from now is like buying a lottery ticket...one COULD be right on, but the odds are long against that happening. So, I will be less specific and just predict the Seahawks will CRUSH the 49er's. Not a sure thing, but waaay better odds. In a likewise vague prediction, the Hawks are going to surprise a lot of pundits and even earn a 20 second acknowledgement by the NFL network that they even exist. GO HAWKS!
If it’s true that there will more 49ers in the stadium that Hawk fans, or even a third of the stadium will be stinking niners, then every single season ticket holder who isn’t there should have their tickets reimbursed and stripped from them, absolutely no exceptions whatsoever.
Absolutely sick of this bullshit. The effing forty effing niners! I hope to god that this clickbait garbage.
I’m hoping for a strong, balanced performance that gets a 10 point or better win. I’m also hoping for a crowd that is clearly pro Seahawks and loud like the days of yore, not like the 50/50 split of last year. Let’s make Lumen Field a death march for visiting teams! Begaw! (I’m stealing it also.😊)
“How can the NFLPA argue against 18 games being “too much” for grown men at the same time that teenagers are playing 16 games in the SEC and Big Ten?”
Apples and oranges. In terms of speed, comparing college to the NFL is akin to comparing the Corpus Christi Speedway to the Indianapolis 500. Velocity is integral to force—in short, the NFL is significantly more violent than the college game (we’re talking orders of magnitude, if you ask me).
Then there’s weather. College seasons wrap up early and bowl games are played under favorable conditions. There are no December games in Buffalo or Pittsburgh. Who here caught a December Seahawks game in Husky Stadium?
In the end, human bodies are only human. They can take only so much, regardless of age. The players are right about 18 games being too long.
I hate to sound like a grumpy old man who's just stuck in the glorious past, but I think (thought?) 16 games and 32 teams, all played in somebody's home stadium, was ideal.
The Whiners don't see things the same way we have been. Take this excerpt from their fansided website today:
49ers will attack this key Seahawks offensive weakness all game long
Fortunately for the Niners, the Hawks offensive line doesn't exactly pose a serious threat.
Last June, the folks over at Pro Football Focus ranked Seattle's O-line 30th out of 32 teams, and this ranking included the Round 1 NFL Draft selection of North Dakota State guard Grey Zabel, who may help matters to a point but won't exactly transform what's been an underwhelming unit for years into a top group.
49ers should feast on Seahawks O-line in passing situations
Can't wait to ask them how they would like their crow prepared. Whatever the answer, they're getting roasted.
I suppose we may see some early embarrassments. I detect a tenacious No Quit attitude backed with a steep learning curve will overcome any and all hiccups. Campbell's 'kneecap' analogy comes to mind.
I sure hope you're right. All of my silly daydreams are based on a decent OLine, and my world is going to simply fall apart if they can't run or pass block.
Seahawks 27 49ers 20. Big days for Charbonnet and K9 mean 200 yards on the ground. Darnold throws a pick but also distributes the ball well. D gives up some big plays to McCaffrey and 3rd and Jauan but also sacks Purdy four times, Knight forces a fumble, and Emmanwori debuts with a pick.
I don't even have to guess; a Google search earlier returned an AI summary saying the Seahawks won tomorrow's game 20-17. 😆
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Gemini combined predictions about this week's game with the result from the second meeting last season.🤦♂️
My non-AI prediction is that tomorrow's game result won't be known until tomorrow and that Seattle will win it 24-17. Go Hawks!
Mac gets re-injured in the 1st half and 49ers O becomes one dimensional , causing sacks and picks in the 2nd half. Hawks make adjustments, not only at half, but also between possessions. ( unlike the previous staff ). Hawks win 24 to 13 and all the Talking Heads eat crap for another week!
I gonna predict that Horton does get the 100 (& hears a who!) and while everybody’s watching Walker, Charbs is gonna break out and get a couple of huge runs and TD’s. My final guess is that Ouzts is gonna pancake someone to score a TD also.

It's go time. BEGAW!!!!!
Hawks 24, Santa Clara 17

LOL! I’m so grumpy and old that I’m still down with 14 games!
Maybe neither men nor boys should be asked to play that many games.
Even more to the point.
He used 2024 JSN data to compare against Horton. They might plan to line up JSN outside this year.

Expectations are the enemy of joy. I'll watch the game and hope for the best (a win). Begaw! (I like begaw and I'm stealing it)
I’m with you!

More like Christian “ow! m’calf!”-rey amirite
The guy let his Best all out 2 years ago and still hasn't recovered. He holds my deepest respect for doing so.
Hopes, not predictions: Walker goes for 120+, we’re plus 2 on turnovers, D holds the ‘9ers under 17 points, nobody gets hurt. Let’s say 24-17.
+2 on turnovers makes a game a lot harder to lose, and I'm hoping we do a lot better than -6 for the season, which we did last year.
I’m optimistic about the 49er game and the season. Playoffs seem likely. Deep in the playoffs seems less likely. Go Hawks!

We did more with less in last year's last game. Now they must do more with less.

What did David Byrne ever do to you?
I would hope it’s just a fingernail injury. I wouldn’t wish a serious injury on anyone.
I gonna predict that Horton does get the 100 (& hears a who!) and while everybody’s watching Walker, Charbs is gonna break out and get a couple of huge runs and TD’s. My final guess is that Ouzts is gonna pancake someone to score a TD also.
Lucas will also pancake a few 9ers@
49er pancakes? Maybe at IHOP.
