992 Difficult Away

"There is no return! The league's best devil's home is ready! ”

"First in the league? It's as disgraced as the Century Chain Course! ”

"It's not about the top spot in the division, it's not even about the playoffs, it's a civil war of sworn rivals in the division! Never die! ”

"The season winning streak is coming to an end, and the Century Chain Stadium will be the place to create miracles!"

"The Seattle Seahawks are ready for victory!"

Before the official start of the 16th week of the regular season, the battle for the playoffs has come to the stage of bayonets, and it is worth paying attention to the game one after another, and the difference between victory and defeat can be the difference between heaven and hell, and the fierce competition for each seat is bound to set off a bloody storm.

In comparison, the San Francisco 49ers' away game against the Seattle Seahawks seems to be less important.

Mainly because of the change in the situation in the Western Division of the National League, in the first half of the season, it was called the Death Division, and it was even thought that three playoff finalists could be born; But in the second half of the season, the situation changed abruptly, and the changes in the zoning pattern made people fall through the glasses -

The Arizona Cardinals were the first to collapse, facing a nine-game losing streak from the fifth week of the regular season and completely missing the playoffs; The St. Louis Rams are still outsiders and insiders, with a current record of five wins and nine losses, and they are also bidding farewell to the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Seattle Seahawks started the season with a four-two-loss record, and after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh week of the regular season, they went on to go on a six-one-one record and now have a 10-4 overall record, and are in a strong position in the national league wild card race.

The Seattle Seahawks' main wild card competitors are the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Redskins, who are also 8-6.

There is also a glimmer of hope for the New Orleans Saints, who are provisionally locked in a 6-8 record after losing to the Atlanta Falcons this week — but the conditions for the Saints to qualify for the playoffs are very demanding, and in addition to winning their final two games, they also need to meet a series of conditions, which are almost theoretical.

It can be seen that the Seattle Seahawks are basically invincible in the wild card competition, and only need to win one of the last two games to be able to firmly grab a wild card; Even if they lose both games, they will not necessarily lose their wild cards, because the Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins in the Eastern Conference of the National League are still inextricably linked to each other, and anything is possible.

Under such circumstances, the game between the 49ers and the Seahawks seems to be missing some explosive points, and the attention has naturally decreased.

Still, this divisional civil war in the Western District of the League of Nations caused a lot of discussion.

The Seattle Seahawks have pulled down teams such as the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, and Minnesota Vikings at home this season, and are still undefeated at home this season, which can be called one of the top home games in the National League.

Even leaving aside the undefeated gold and playoff spots, there's definitely no shortage of spark in the clash between the divisional rivals.

The headlines are all from local Seattle newspapers and magazines, and the ambition from top to bottom is truly eye-catching.

In fact, they do have the capital.

In addition to the stellar record at home, the best performances in the past three weeks have also been the biggest bargaining chip: first beating the Chicago Bears in overtime on the road, then sweeping the Arizona Cardinals 58-0 at home, and then beating the Buffalo Bills 50-17 on the road.

In other words, the Seattle Seahawks, who have always relied on the defensive group to win, have shown significant improvement in the offensive group this year under three-round rookie Russell Wilson.

After a stumbling first half of the season, Russell gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the professional league, and his diligence and hard work slowly came to the fore.

As a running quarterback, Russell's style of play is naturally reminiscent of last year's top pick, Cam Newton, but Russell's passing accuracy is significantly better in comparison, and the current season quarterback average is just over 100 points, which is currently in the top 10 in the league.

Thanks to Russell's ability to find gaps in his play, coupled with the team's excellent defense, the Seattle Seahawks' rise this season is a natural fit.

At present, their defensive group has climbed to the top of the league, surpassing the San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears to occupy the top spot; At the same time, their offensive group has also reached the eighth place in the league and successfully entered the top 10! The current team has what it takes to disrupt the playoffs.

In this way, it seems more accurate to say that Russell should not be last year's Cam, but last year's...... Lu Ke.

The Seattle Seahawks have won 10 games since 2007 and are now confident inside and out, and when they face the San Francisco 49ers for the second time this season, they naturally have no reason to have stage fright, not only in the local media in Seattle, but also in interviews with the team members who did not hesitate to swear their determination.

"Pete Carroll: We're confident we're going to win the game, 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 come and lick my balls."

"Quarterback coach Carl Smith: We can beat the San Francisco 49ers. Lu Ke is not worried. ”

"Twelve: This is the graveyard of 49! We will bury their bodies here with our own hands! ”

You can see between the lines that the Seattle Seahawks' strong self-confidence, although there are elements of the media out of context, but it is not a complete smear, on the social media of social networks, twelve people can't wait to start provoking, early to start warming up for this game, how ugly it was to lose at the Candlestick Stadium before, this time back to the Century Chain Stadium will be doubled!

Sherman, who has always been known for his "mouth cannon", did not eat a trench and grow wise, but continued to make a lot of nonsense, especially Lu Ke in the face of the second-line defense of the New England Patriots' "old, weak, sick and disabled", he still sent three interceptions, which simply made Sherman laugh off his big teeth, the "old, weak, sick and disabled" here is to quote Sherman's original words, and he still unrelentingly opened fire and launched an attack on Lu Ke.

Faced with such a situation, the nine people gave the simplest and most effective counterattack: "minimum consumption".

Without too many words, each of the nine people added the topic of "minimum consumption" when they sent tweets or Facebook, and in less than 24 hours, the topic topped the search charts and spread on major social networking platforms.

Those terrible nightmare memories hit the soft underbelly of the twelve again in an instant, and all kinds of provocations and declarations of war spread all over the world, and fierce scolding was about to break out; But the nine people were not moved at all, and still diligently brushed the topic of "minimum consumption", and gave a strong response with an unchanged attitude of responding to all changes.

The local media in San Francisco also showed a rare calmness and atmosphere, and did not start a-for-tat meeting with Seattle to start a mutual meeting between the media, but objectively and calmly analyzed the trend of this game-

"Unbeaten at home vs unbeaten season!"

After this game, between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, there must be a team that will break a season's unbeaten record, which is also the biggest attraction of this game. Of course, the local media in San Francisco still chose the 49ers, believing that the negative impact of playing away from home was not enough to shake the team's belief and spirit.

"Minimum spend!"

The San Francisco Chronicle echoed this headline, joining hands with the Nine as they marched toward the Seattle Seahawks.

……

"Ahhh

"Roar, roar, roar!"

"Boom, boom!"

Standing in the Century Chain Stadium, the overwhelming cheers and shouts roared everywhere, even if the referee had not yet blown the whistle for the start of the official game, the cheering sound on the scene had already exploded with unimaginable energy, and even faintly felt that the whole stadium was trembling slightly.

Candlestick Stadium has now grown into one of the league's devils' home stadiums, and the sea of red and gold that the home stadium has repeatedly impressed; But at this moment, the momentum of the Century Chain Stadium is even better, and the mighty air waves make the eardrums begin to ache faintly.

"Sea-Haks!"

A word has two syllables, and the twelve in the room began to shout in unison, a neat rhythm that matched the agitation of the air, bursting with incredible energy, even more boisterous and ferocious than any previous home game of the season.

According to the league's official post-match statistics, the Century Chain Stadium, which can accommodate 69,000 spectators, was full that morning; Not only that, but more than 50,000 spectators gathered outside the stadium to watch the live matches on large screens, and to join all 12 people.

This is also a league record for live attendance this season.

It can be seen from the side that the fans of the Seattle Seahawks welcomed the arrival of the sworn enemies in the same district with the highest standard and highest treatment, experienced the stimulation and insult of "minimum consumption", experienced two seasons of precipitation and confrontation, and now the hostility between the two teams has reached the highest point in history after the reorganization of the league's divisions!

As the twelve said before the game: this is the grave of 49! Here, they will join forces to bury the bones of the league's top seed, and in a way that breaks their opponent's unbeaten season, they will make a strong declaration of undying hostility in the Western Conference of the National League, and stride on the corpse of their opponent to reach the playoffs a week early, which is the best thing in the world.
