Alot of optimists here. I don't see it. If the game was home, maybe.

We dont match up well with Seattle at all.....their secondary is a strength and they can also stop the run..Gabbert is too inconsistent to put any real stress on thier DB's expect them to focus on stopping the run and watch the offense flounder. I expect the defense to hold up for a while but much like we've seen in the past they can only hold for so long...expect a close 1st half with Seattle pulling away n the second half to a rather decisive victory.

Yea, that pretty much spells out our recent history with them for most of the games.

Thinking the 9ers might cover the point spread but I see no reason to think a win is possible at Seattle.

Im hoping for shocking the NFL moment. Yes Seattle is the better team u never know. Seattle hasn't looked good. At least we have looked decent.

I'm gonna cross my lazy eye starting tomorrow for a victory. That's not an easy place to play...and we've been beaten like a red headed step child there for years. That said...I think we could rise to the occasion...nobody is giving us a shot and hell maybe...juuuuuuuuust maybe they're looking past us as well.

I wish I shared all this confidence I'm hearing. I don't think the game will be close. We may not even score a touchdown.

Obviously we can't turn it over if we expect to win. then we have to avoid those big penalties such as personal foul, unsportsmanlike, and offensive holding. Not asking for an entire game without penalties, but saying keep the big ones LOW.

If we limit our mistakes, i think this score is about right. I would guess we get two more field goals instead of a second TD. So i'll go with 16-13 and either way, i'm taking the 9.5 points.

Ordinarily the MVP would be the D, but this week it'll have to be the offense. My reason is their offense happens to be injured so our D should hold up 'ok'. But their D is still very good so even 3-4 decent drives with field goals, is good. This is in addition to a TD drive of course.

Were a little dinged up, and our offense hasn't found any identity yet... It could end up being a grind out game... Our D is playing legit though...

Yes, and that is why i have a little hope now. If Seattle wasn't banged up, no way i'd think we have a 50/50 chance.

Your D IS playing legit, and is why even field goals will be valuable to us.

Did you not watch the Seahawks vs Rams? A defense that gave up 28 to us held the Seahawks to 3. Seattle has 1 offensive TD in 2 weeks. They're a bad offense and the only thing that makes them a good offense right now is Wilson's mobility which is not 100% on that ankle. They're offensive line is bad like ours was last year and that will make it hard on them all season or at least until Wilson can get back to extended plays to bail them out.

If we lose to them it's going to be because Seattle's D out scores our offense. Which is very possible of course.

Did you not watch SF vs Rams? They got a shutout, and then took that same defense to Carolina: 46 points and nearly 540 yards allowed.

This is a week-to-week league. Again...just because 'X' beat 'Y' and 'Y' beat 'Z', it almost has no bearing on what will happen when 'X' plays 'Z.'

Exactly and our offense has shown they can at least score. What has Seattle shown that says right now they are a good team? Do you see anything there or are you basing a prediction off what they did in previous seasons?

I think field goals are gonna be valuable to us as well ... :] If Russ's ankle is better I can see things flowing a little more, but so far our O-line just isn't creating any running lanes at all .. it's been painful... I"m not freaking out yet though, I expected some bumps with so many new O-lineman...

It's way too early in the season to make any real determination on anything. I do put more emphasis on what went on last season as opposed to just 2 games this season because in general, that is a far more accurate barometer to go by. What do I see in Seattle? They started last year at a very average pace until they turned it on. I see a team that can contend for a Super Bowl, and when it's all said and done, barring major injuries, they will be right there in the thick of things.

With our QB situation, I don't see anything close to that. Our offense has shown they can score when the defense gets turnovers for the most part. I certainly don't see them as a team that can march down the field for majors.

Game day is here. Lets Go 49ers. Shock the world today.

The game is not over between the Cards and Bills but this division appears to be coming weak out of the gate this season.

 

[darken65]

quick strike. easy run.

 

[elw4corps]

Wow our run defense looks terrible
