The Seahawks Epically Thrash The 49ers In The Playoffs And It Was Glorious

First off, let me congratulate Mike Macdonald for an incredible second season as the Seattle Seahawks head coach, and earning his first playoff win in a shocking and decisive manner last night against a bitter divisional foe. It is no easy task to come all the way up the PNW, and replace a legendary head coach in Pete Carroll who was massively well liked by many inside this fanbase.

Many people deepened their fandom of the Seahawks because of Carroll, and the success he had here building up a winner, and cultivating an incredibly positive culture within this organization, and community. Kudos to Macdonald for taking the baton, and not only running with it, but flying past the competition in this NFC West division that has grown in recent years to really outclass Seattle and Carroll in many regards.

If you are a fair-weathered Seattle sports fan who has been reluctant to jump on the Seahawks bandwagon because of your unsureness of Macdonald, and perhaps his new quarterback, and other new faces, I invite you now to climb back onboard. This team and their head coach is special.

Now for the real meat of this piece. I have something that I would like to very publicly get off of my chest right here, and right now. I want to address my immense dislike and disdain for the San Francisco 49ers and many of those inside their fanbase that has grown increasingly more and more toxic over the years.

There are teams that I have strongly disliked over the years, and because of that, I will likely never ever root for them. This is no different than virtually almost every other diehard sports fan.

Growing up in the eighties a huge Seattle SuperSonics fan, I could not stand the LA Lakers and their flashy Show Time bull crap, and I still strongly dislike them to this day. I also have a strong dislike for the Yankees and the pure arrogance of their fanbase. I have a huge dislike for the Denver Broncos and the Raiders because of old ties to the AFC West when Seattle used to play inside that division.

Back in the nineties, I had a massive dislike for the Dallas Cowboys and their players who famously rented mansion a stone’s toss from their practice facility especially to do lines of cocaine off of the ass cheeks of pornstars and strippers and then gang bang them while their wives breastfed their kids at home. Every time I see Michael Irvin popup on my television screen, I want to turn the channel, and I detest Troy Aikman more than any other game analyst out there because of his Cowboy-ness.

This all said, let me be perfectly clear and unambiguous about my thoughts and feels about the San Francisco 49ers, and their fanbase. I absolutely, positively despise them with every single fiber of my being. There is not a cell or an atom that exists within my psychical being that doesn’t find the 49ers and their Faithful utterly repugnant.

I say this having some friends and family who are devote 49er Fans, and simply put, I do not like that side of them as much as I love everything else about them as people. This is the facts jack.

If you are a fan of the Niners because you grew up in Northern California, I will gladly give you that. However, I know people who grew up in this region way up North here, close to my age, that jumped on the 49er bandwagon back in the eighties when Joe Montana was maybe the most likable guy in football, and they were winning Super Bowls, and the Seahawks simply were not. It is one thing to like a team because you like a player on them, but it is something else to choose to continue liking them over the team that is within your own region.

The San Francisco 49ers have not had the Joe Montana and then Steve Young magic in over thirty years, now. On top of that, they are no longer a team filled with likable players such was the case in the eighties and nineties. In fact, for almost a decade now, this is an organization that chooses to cultivate a culture of players who act like arrogant trash talking thugs on the football field.

I respect that Brock Purdy is probably a pretty good dude, but this is not a team that lets their quality of play do the talking. Instead, they want to play the game doing underhanded shit on the field hoping to win a psychological warfare game against opponents. So, fuck them.

They now present utter joy whenever they lose a game to all viewers who are not San Francisco fans. As Jesus famously said, live by the sword, die by the sword, motherf*ckers. You play the game in a toxic way, and root in a toxic manner, eventually, it is going to come back around, and chew up your asshole on big national stages.

It is clear from the results of last night’s game that the Seattle Seahawks were ready to chew off the butts of 49ers, and embarrass them in front of the world. From my perspective, and every Seahawks fan who hates this team as much as I do, and I suspect that is well in the millions, this was absolutely a glorious sight to see all game long last night.

I hate this team so much that would rather drink out of a carton of rotten milk, and then look inside a toilet bowl at a massive un-flushed turd filled with corn chunks and pieces of under chewed carrots sticking out of it than see the 49ers win a ball game against the Seattle Seahawks. This is not an exaggeration at all. I have a degree of healthy hatred towards the Rams because of our divisional rivalry, and I suppose if the Cardinals got really good, I would feel it with them, as well, but my level of hate towards all things 49ers is just extra-extra.

Fortunately for myself, the Seahawks own the overall series record between these two teams 33-24 with the divisional round playoff fought and won by Hawks last night in Seattle. So, for the most part, when these two teams have played over the years, I have been a happy camper more times than not.

Now you might think this is a bit overkill sharing with you all of my deep dark thoughts about this certain Bay Area team, and their horrendous hoard of fans who like to think of themselves as some thuggish Bang Bang Gang, but I think it is actually quite apropos to be this honest about it all. After all, since the Seahawks refer to their defense as The Dark Side, I suppose it is a bit fitting that I harness my inner Sith, and reveal all my 49er hatred as vividly as possible.

I think my full unabashed hatred of the San Francisco 49ers all starts (and maybe even ends) with Kyle Shanahan, himself. I generally think that the 49er fanbase is a massive collection of thugs, and punks, and dimwitted wannabe instagram models who will be eventually working at Target once their sugar daddy tech bro boyfriends leave them for someone else younger and cuter, but that is either here, or there. Shanahan is the chief reason why I think the 49ers can collectively suck lightbulb sockets together.

I am sure that there is a side of himself that is a decent human being who doesn’t backhand his kids when they don’t do their homework right, but for me, I just see Shanahan coming across too much like a massive twisted up arrogant prick on Sundays for my likings. In fact, I believe the exact words that I used to describe him to friends in a recent thread is that he’s a punk ass bitch chump motherf*cking dill weed douche face, and because of that, watching him lose games is a joy almost greater than shower sex.

Under Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers have gotten by in this league for about nine seasons now playing the game like a bunch of jerk faces. San Francisco players like Deommodore Lenoir, Fred Warner, and Juaun Jennings have been allowed to play dirty physical games on the field trying to stir up shit against opposing players, and it often feels like they are perhaps filling out mandates from the head coach, himself. Sure enough, out of this game last night, there is a viral clip of Lenoir head butting Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith Njigba after a play, and no whistle was ever blown. Classy.

In team sports, players are almost certainly reflections of their head coach in charge. For years in New England, the Patriots were very blue color no-nonsense emotionless cerebral guys, like Bill Belichick. The Seahawks under Pete Carroll were a collection of oddballs free to speak their minds, and played with tons of infectious passion, but had a lack of discipline that could leave you pulling your hairs out.

The 49ers under Shanahan are a collection of arrogant cocky assed pricks who think they are better than everyone else, and then they whine and bitch whenever games don’t go their way in result. That is all. That is it. You tell me what is worse to be as a collective.

Now, I know they have Brock Purdy, and George Kittle, and they are certainly fine fellas, and players. Belichick had Gronk in New England, so every teams has exceptions to their overall vibes. I just look at this 49er collective, though, and I am glad that they got their assed kicked by Seattle in this manner.

The only thing that will be annoying coming out of this total 41-6 beatdown by the Seattle Seahawks is the excuses that 49ers players, coaches, and fans will land on as to why they fell short. “Oh, we didn’t have Bosa and Warner, we didn’t have George Kittle.”

Please. Like Warner and Bosa pass block or run routes for Brock Purdy.

The Seattle Seahawks own the San Francisco 49ers right now, and I suspect that they will continue owning them for a while, even with Warner and Bosa coming back next year. The Seahawks are young, fast, strong, and talented. The 49ers are old and expensive and are becoming increasingly more injury prone.

Because of their draft position this Spring, the 49ers won’t pick high enough to take a left tackle to groom behind the very old Trent Williams, and because they have paid Brock Purdy a massive contract, they will no longer be significant players in free agency. They will have to cut expensive players to manage their camp. This is the reality of being good for a number of years, and having to pay your young talented quarterback.

What is worse for them is that the Seattle Seahawks have hired a head coach in Mike Macdonald that seems to know specifically how to successfully handle Kyle Shanahan’s vaunted offense, and make it struggle mightily. It is not unimaginable that if the 49ers have a down year next year, or a year of mediocrity against the Seahawks and Rams, Shanahan could find himself on a very hot seat if he cannot properly figure out how to score on Macdonald’s defenses that get thrown at him and Brock Purdy.

And let us talk about Purdy for a moment, shall we?

He is not a great athlete. He’s not got much of an arm, and he isn’t tall. It could be as simple as a situation for the 49ers and their delusional toxic fanbase that Macdonald was hired by Seattle because he knows exactly how to play and limit Purdy into being a very average to sub average quarterback whenever these two teams face up, and Seattle will always have that advantage over him, regardless.

This would be an ironic painful reality pill to swallow for the 49er Faithful because of all the 49er fans that want to trash talk about Sam Darnold being with the Seahawks, but at least Darnold is capable of making big time throws downfield that could test a high end defense in the league. I don’t think Purdy is necessarily physically capable of it. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sean McVay in LA studies more of Macdonald’s defense to gain further insight on how his defense can play against San Francisco next year.

As for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks?

Yeah, I guess that oblique muscle of his was perfectly fine in this game. Sam managed well when he threw, but because the 49er defense was so piss poor at stopping Seattle’s run game, it really didn’t matter. Ken Walker had the game of the ages for himself carrying the rock and terrorizing 49er tacklers who looked like they were ready to give up with five minutes left to go in the third quarter. What an epic night for K9!

Nice to see Darnold win a big playoff game, though, so that stupid narration led by the likes of Mike Florio and others can now be stamped down a bit. I have said it before, and I will gladly say it again, the narration of Darnold in big games and the playoffs was the dumbest thing in NFL coverage this year. Sam Darnold has now played in two playoff games in his career, and is now 1-1 in both those two games. So, please, pretty please, shut the holy F up about Darnold in the playoffs.

Now, as it stands, a whole lotta shit talking 49er fans have to deal with the fact that Sam Darnold, the one time backup to Brock Purdy, played better football in the divisional round playoff matchup between these two teams than their prized overpaid quarterback. He played clean, efficient, turnover free football against this 49er defense that was supposedly going to make life miserable for him all game long, according to dimwitted Niner fans online all last week. Kudos for him for that.

In fact, Darnold did the opposite of what Purdy did. He took the check downs when needed. He moved the ball downfield, and successfully tested Robert Saleh’s defense. Yeah, kudos to Sammy D. Can’t wait for what Colin Cowherd has to say about that.

These Seattle Seahawks, though. Man, this is a badass team to be excited about. This defense is EXCITING STUFF! These special teams led by the return game of Rashid Shaheed is simply spectacular. This offense, whether by running the ball, or Darnold’s explosive downfield passing, is impressively explosive.

This is, without a doubt, the most dangerous and complete team Seattle has had since it last played in a Super Bowl a decade ago. I wrote a whole entire piece this last week about all the reasons why this team can win a Super Bowl this year, and I think we saw it on display against the 49ers last night.

There was all this pumped up narration about the 49ers heading into this game based on their win in Philadelphia against a dysfunctional Eagles team that blew that game as much as the 49ers won it. All this talk this week was about how close of a game this was going to be in Seattle and whether Sam Darnold wouldn’t crap his pants against Robert Saleh’s defense.

What a load of shit coming out of the mouths of Skip Bayless and his podcast crew about how Darnold couldn’t be trusted, and Seattle were frauds. What a bunch of horse shit from the experts elsewhere who said they favored San Francisco simply because of Shanahan’s experience over Macdonald.

How many Seahawk games did any of these guys actually sit down in watch?

The Seahawks have been beating the crap out of good teams all year long. They beat Jacksonville on the road, they beat the Texans, the Rams, the 49ers, Colts, and Panthers.

Whole lotta jackasses have egg on their faces after this one, and this is a statement of fact. There is egg on Florio’s face, on Eisen’s, on Skip Bayless, and on Stephen A Smith.

Even Richard Sherman, himself, didn’t foresee on his prediction podcast this Seattle beatdown over the 49ers. How the fuck did he, himself, not look at these two rosters and not see this outcome coming? Was he just trying to play nice to the 49er section of his fanbase? Was he just not that trusting in Mike Macdonald and Darnold over douche face Shanahan and his little Brock Purdy?

My goodness.

Great day to be a Seahawks fan, though. Hope they can keep this going next week whether it is the Rams or Bears we face.

This biggest single cherry on top of the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl and winning it this year would be for them to do it in Santa Clara at the Stadium that the 49ers play in. This would be the absolute final icing applied on the cake for this team this year.

Imagine what that would do for the psyche of the Bang Bang Nine Gang and that fanbase. Imagine their shame. Imagine the pressure placed on Kyle Shanahan next season to beat Seattle.

Imagine it all, indeed.

Go Hawks!
