ESPN writer:

Sherman can be brash, obviously, but he's also an extremely intelligent guy who knows when and where to pick his fights and his comments. Now, if the game ends in a Seattle victory, you'll want to have a microphone in his face because he's likely to let it fly.

ESPN writers:

This is the best secondary I've ever seen, but no secondary can completely shut down the trio of Davis, Boldin and Crabtree. I've been amazed at some of the catches Crabtree has made in the playoff the past two weeks. It's clearly pick your poison with these three. Sherman did a phenomenal job on Boldin in the game here in September, but Crabtree didn't play. That's a big difference. What it could come down to is whether the Seattle defensive backs can come up with a key interception or if they take too many chances and one of these guys beats them for a big play. Actually, both those things could happen, but the point when they happen could decide the outcome.

Defensively, the 49ers have been dominant. The 49ers defense is supremely athletic. The four linebackers are tone-setters. The 49ers know their best chance to win this game is with big plays on defense.

ESPN writer:

do you think the Seahawks might have peaked earlier this season?
I know that's the prevailing logic right now nationally -- especially with the issues Seattle has had throwing the football in recent weeks -- but I'm not buying it. They lost by two points on a late field goal at San Francisco and lost by a touchdown to an Arizona Cardinals team that is much better than people realized earlier in the season. The Seahawks have faced four top-10 defenses over that five-week span, and the Seattle defense has continued to play lights out. All season long, this has been a team that finds a way to win without putting up big offensive stats. It's who they are.

My prediction:

One of these quarterbacks is going to make two costly interceptions. The first will give the other team the advantage and the second will be in a last ditch comeback effort that will seal the deal.

not sure where you got those numbers but 172 passing yards allowed should be ranked first. Not sure where you pulled the 157 passing yards allowed for SF but its incorrect unless maybe you pulled only from playoff games?

Yeah that's wrong

ESPN writers:

The noise level Sunday may be at an all-time high. Can the San Francisco offense perform effectively in that environment against the best defense in the league?

That is the story of this game. I keep going back to Week 2 and remembering the trouble the 49ers had on offense. They had no chance.

This place is going to be extra noisy. The 49ers simply can't afford to make any mistakes because of it, and I don't know if that is possible.

Terry, don't you sense the entire state of Washington is counting the minutes until the 49ers offense steps onto the field?

Blount: I've never seen anything quite like it, Bill. The entire Pacific Northwest is in a Seahawks frenzy that's amped up even more because of the fans' deep-seeded hatred for everything 49ers.
CenturyLink will go seismic again (Beast Quake III), and that could be the difference in the game.

I posted about this earlier. It's just incorrect info...not about playoff stats.

The blueprint for a 9ers victory is on the Cardinals @ Seahawks game tape. Stop Lynch and contain Wilson in the pocket. If you can do that, you can throw 4 int's and still win. Ask Carson Palmer.

San Francisco Bay Area newspaper:

49ers versus Seahawks will be violence unleashed

Kickoff is at 3:30. Carnage to follow, a few seconds later. And sustain. With pain.
When the 49ers and Seahawks meet Sunday afternoon, it will not merely be the most physical game of the entire postseason. It will be a throwback to an ancient time.

the only recent equivalent would be the recent series of games between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, two teams with a similar loathing for each other and a similar base level of violence.
Actually, in that aspect, the Seahawks-49ers mojo brings more to mind the nearly sadistic confrontations between the Steelers and the Raiders in the 1970s. In those games, Pittsburgh defensive tackle "Mean" Joe Greene and Oakland center Jim Otto would jointly ask the referees to stop calling personal foul penalties so that the two future Hall of Famers could manhandle each other in the trenches with no constraints.

The 49ers and Seahawks are Big Bang teams. Sometimes you wonder if they would rather just line up and run into each other for pleasure, with no football even on the field. They each want to dominate physically.

"Seattle is definitely that," 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith said this week in agreement. "We're definitely that. ... I think we're pretty much identical from that aspect of getting after each other."
What's compelling, though, is how the two teams have kept that brutality bar raised, even as the NFL tries to make the game less cruel

Vernon Davis, the 49ers tight end, has not finished the past two games in Seattle. He exited in 2012 with a concussion. Back in September, it was a hamstring injury.
Other 49ers players -- including Eric Reid, Mario Manningham and Ian Williams -- have also been hurt and gone to the sideline in those two games

Seattle has not escaped its own pain and suffering against the 49ers, of course. And there will be more of it Sunday. One of Harbaugh's mantras the past two months has been that this journey is only "for the tough." The winner Sunday will be the toughest team at the Super Bowl.

Consider: Seattle has allowed just one 49er touchdown in three of the past four games between the teams -- and yet the 49ers still won two of those games.

But their past two trips to the decibel funhouse of CenturyLink Field -- both with Colin Kaepernick at quarterback -- have resulted in two convincing defeats. There is no way to forecast a 49ers' victory in this stadium until they prove they can once more win a game in this stadium.
The call here is Seahawks by 20-17.
