Would we have won yesterday?

I think we would have lost by 20. Our offense in no way compares to San Francisco, they have elite receivers and Gore is a beast. Yet, the only offense they generated was on huge runs by Kaeperick because the running lanes were open because the Seahawks had to worry about every single receiver on the field. Defensively, we wouldn't have done worse than the 49ers, that's for sure.

San Francisco scored more points yesterday than we have scored in our last two games combined against Seattle (and both were in our stadium).  So its highly unlikely we would have done as well as sf.  We have to get better at some positions on offense before we can beat a team like Seattle, especially on their home turf.

I sincerely think we could have and would have won.  I believe it is tough to beat a good team twice in the same year and just as San Fran beat us here after we beat them there, I believe the same thing would have happened in Seattle with us, with us being so much better at the end of the year than the opener (Beason was a starter (who played a bad game) and Godfrey was our leading tackler for goodness sakes).  I also believe it is Peyton Manning's year to get his second Lombardi, so I'm not gonna play the "what if" game.  I am comforted in knowing that we will get either a TE/WR that Seattle/NE want, CB that San Fran wants, or OL that Denver wants next May, while Peyton cements his legacy as the best ever (until Cam is in 15 years).

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
