"There's no going back! The best Devils home court in the league is ready!"
"No. 1 in the league? It's like being disgraced at the Century Chain Stadium!"
"It has nothing to do with the battle for the top spot in the division, or even the battle for the playoffs. This is a civil war between division rivals! Fight to the death!"
"The winning streak of the season is about to end here, and the Century Chain Stadium will be the place where miracles are created!"
"The Seattle Seahawks are ready for victory!"
Before the official opening of the 16th week of the regular season, the battle for the playoffs has reached the stage where the bayonet is red. The games worthy of attention are one after another. The difference between victory and defeat may be the transition between heaven and hell. Every seat Fierce competition will inevitably cause a bloody storm.
In comparison, the San Francisco 49ers' away game against the Seattle Seahawks seems not that important.
Mainly because the situation in the National League West has changed. In the first half of the season, it was called the Death Division, and it was even considered that there might be three playoff finalist teams. However, in the second half of the season, the situation changed suddenly, and the division pattern changed drastically. It’s shocking——
The Arizona Cardinals were the first to collapse, facing a nine-game losing streak starting from the fifth week of the regular season and completely missing the playoffs; the St. Louis Rams are still an outsider in foreign wars and an expert in internal wars, with a current record of five wins and nine losses. Also bid farewell to the playoffs.
On the other side, the Seattle Seahawks achieved an excellent record of four wins and two losses at the beginning of the season. After losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh week of the regular season, they once again achieved an excellent record of six wins and one loss. Now the total record is With four wins out of ten, they are in a good position in the National League wild card race.
Now the Seattle Seahawks' main wild card competitors are the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Redskins, who all have eight wins and six losses.
There is still a glimmer of hope for the New Orleans Saints, who have temporarily settled on six wins and eight losses after losing to the Atlanta Falcons this week. However, if the Saints want to enter the playoffs, the conditions are very demanding, except for their last two games. In addition to complete victory, a series of conditions must be met, which can almost be said to be only a theoretical possibility.
It can be seen that the Seattle Seahawks are basically invincible in the wild card competition. They only need to win one of the last two games to firmly seize a wild card; even if they lose both games, they will not be able to win. If you win, you will lose the wild card, because the victory and defeat between the Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins in the National League East are still inextricable, and anything is possible.
Under such circumstances, the game between the 49ers and the Seahawks seemed to lack some explosive points, and the attention naturally declined.
Still, this NFC West divisional civil war has generated a lot of discussion.
The main focus is on the San Francisco 49ers' undefeated season. The wind and rain at Century Links Stadium are definitely not that easy. The Seattle Seahawks have defeated the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, and New England Patriots at home this season. Teams such as the Minnesota Vikings have fallen behind, and they are still undefeated at home this season. They can be called one of the best home games in the National League.
Even leaving aside the undefeated title and playoff berth, there is definitely no shortage of sparks in the clash between these division rivals.
The above-mentioned news headlines all come from local newspapers and magazines in Seattle. The ambition of the whole team is really eye-catching.
In fact, they do have such capital.
In addition to the brilliant record at home, the outstanding performance in the past three weeks is also the biggest bargaining chip: first defeating the Chicago Bears in overtime on the road, then sweeping the Arizona Cardinals "58:0" at home, and then again on the road Defeated the Buffalo Bills with a score of "50:17".
In other words, the Seattle Seahawks, who have always relied on the defense to win, this year, under the leadership of third-round pick Russell Wilson, the offense has shown significant improvement.
After experiencing a poor performance in the first half of the season, Russell gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the professional league, and his diligence and hard work gradually became apparent.
As a running quarterback, Russell's playing style is naturally reminiscent of last year's No. 1 pick Cam Newton, but in comparison, Russell's passing accuracy is obviously better. Currently The season quarterback average has just reached the integer of 100 points, and is currently among the top ten in the league.
Thanks to Russell's game style of finding gaps and the team's excellent defense, the rise of the Seattle Seahawks this season is natural.
Currently, their defensive team has climbed to the first place in the league, surpassing the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears, occupying the top spot; at the same time, their offensive team has also reached eighth place in the league, successfully ranking among the top ten! This team now has the ability to disrupt the playoffs.
From this point of view, to be more accurate, it seems that Russell should not be last year's Cam, but last year's... Lu Ke.
Since 2007, the Seattle Seahawks have once again gained ten wins in the season. Now the team is full of confidence inside and outside. When they face the San Francisco 49ers for the second time this season, they naturally have no reason for stage fright. Not only Seattle's local media and team members did not hesitate to declare their determination in interviews.
"Pete Carroll: We're confident we can win the game and we're on the right track."
"Russell Wilson: They're in good shape, but we're in better shape."
"Richard Sherman: They're welcome to lick my balls."
"Quarterback coach Carl Smith: We can beat the San Francisco 49ers. Lu Ke is nothing to worry about."
"Twelve people: This is the cemetery of the 49ers! We will bury their bodies here with our own hands!"
The strong self-confidence of the Seattle Seahawks can be seen between the lines. Although there are elements of the media taking it out of context, it is not a complete smear. On social media, twelve people can’t wait to start issuing provocations, early for this The game started to warm up. It was so ugly to lose at the Candlestick Stadium. This time when we return to the Century Chain Stadium, we will pay back double!
Sherman, who has always been known for his "big talk", did not learn from the experience and continued to talk nonsense. Especially when Lu Ke faced the New England Patriots' "old, weak, sick and disabled" second-line defense, he still scored three goals. The interception, this simply made Sherman laugh out loud. The "old, weak, sick and disabled" here were quoted from Sherman's exact words. He still unrelentingly launched an attack on Lu Ke with full firepower.
Faced with such a situation, the Nine People gave the simplest and most effective counterattack: "minimum consumption."
Without the need for too many words, every nine people posted on Twitter or Facebook, all of them added the topic of "minimum consumption". In less than 24 hours, the topic was posted on It became the top of the search rankings and spread across all major social network platforms.
Those bad nightmare memories hit the twelve people's weak points again in an instant. All kinds of provocations and declarations of war were laid out in the sky, and fierce scoldings were about to break out; but the nine people did not take any action at all. Even though they were moving, they still diligently discussed the topic of "minimum consumption" and gave a strong counterattack with an attitude of being unchanged and adapting to the ever-changing situation.
The local media in San Francisco also showed a rare calmness and magnanimity. Instead of starting a tit-for-tat meeting with Seattle, they objectively and calmly analyzed the direction of the game——
"Undefeated at home VS undefeated in the season!"
After this game, between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, one team will definitely break an unbeaten record this season. This is also the biggest highlight of this game. Of course, the local media in San Francisco still chose the 49ers, believing that the negative impact of away games was not enough to shake the team's faith and spirit.
"Minimum consumption!"
The "San Francisco Chronicle" also echoed this news headline, joining hands with the nine people and marching towards the Seattle Seahawks with high heads.
…
"Ahhh!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Being at the Century Chain Stadium, overwhelming cheers and shouts roared everywhere. Even before the referee blew the whistle for the official start of the game, the cheers on the scene had already erupted with unimaginable energy, and you could even faintly feel it. The whole stadium was shaking slightly.
Candlestick Stadium has now grown into one of the league's devil's home stadiums. The red and golden oceans of home support have repeatedly left a deep impression on people; but at this moment, the momentum of Century Chain Stadium is even better, with a majestic atmosphere. The waves made my eardrums begin to hurt.
"Sea-Hawks!"
A word has two syllables, so the twelve people in the audience started shouting in unison. The neat rhythm matched with the excitement of the air, bursting out incredible energy, even more than any previous home game this season. They are all noisier and more ferocious.
According to the league's official post-match statistics, the Century Chain Stadium, which can accommodate 69,000 spectators, was packed with seats that morning; not only that, more than 50,000 spectators gathered outside the stadium, surrounding the stadium and watching the video on the big screen. Watch live matches and compete with all twelve.
This also set a league record for live attendance this season.
It can be seen from the side that Seattle Seahawks fans have welcomed the arrival of their rivals in the same district with the highest standards and the highest treatment. They have experienced the stimulation and insult of "minimum consumption", and have experienced two seasons of precipitation and confrontation. Now The hostility between the two teams has reached an all-time high since the league's division reorganization!
As the twelve men said before the game: This is the grave of the 49ers! They will work together to bury the bones of the league's top seed here, break their opponent's undefeated season, forcefully declare the endless hostility in the National League West, and step on the enemy's corpse to advance to the playoffs a week early. This is the most beautiful thing in the world.
