the seahawks have definitely been "on" this season...but they will have to play better against the 49ers than they did against the saints.
It was a 'limited' game by both offenses. Actually I believe if we had a little less offense we'd still beat the Niners.
Bold statement, true, but let's take a closer look:
Saints were the 4th ranked defense in the NFL but the Seahawks #1 defense held them to a mere 8 points for 58 minutes of football.
Seahawks had 174 yards rushing (run-oriented offense) against the 4th ranked defense Saints.
49er's by contrast, 24th ranked offense going against the #1 defense.
The Seahawks 17th ranked offense will have a tough day against the 5th ranked defense but I think based on the two previous meetings of these clubs in the Clink shows that the Hawks LOVE getting fired up to play their rival. They have outscored the 49ers 71-16 margin in their last two meetings at CenturyLink Field. I don't see that changing much in this meeting.
