NFL: CenturyLink Field vs 49ers

The Seattle Seahawks have a good team and a great home field crowd which leads to an amazing home field advantage.

One of the most anticipated matches of the year happened Week 2 when the Seahawks and 49ers linked up. This matchup highlighted two great defenses with explosive offenses. There has been Madden 25 commercials highlighting the teams dual threat star Quarterbacks respectively Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson. I waited all day for this one game and Breaking Bad (heck of an episode wasn’t it?) and boy was I pissed but I realized how tough it is to play the Seahawks at home and calmed down. Before I blew a gasket I remembered what happened to the Saints playing at CenturyLink Field in the playoffs in the fact that no team has beat them there since 2011 and it made me say one thing during this year’s playoffs no one wants to play them at home, I mean no one.
The last two times the 49ers have met the Seahawks in CenturyLink they have gotten their back sides handed to them (29-3 last night and 42-13 last December). It hasn’t been fun to watch my 9ers play up there and to make matters worse players always seem to have a season ending injury when they play in Seattle.
Last December receiver Mario Manningham tore his knee up and has yet to play this season. Last night Defensive Tackle Ian Williams broke his ankle and if probably heading to the IR, Safety Eric Reid got a concussion, Tight End Vernon Davis strained a hamstring and Defensive End Ray McDonald strained an ankle. Yeah, that all happened last night to tack on the whoopin’.
For the 9ers fans like myself it is only one game no need to panic but I will say I don’t want see the Seahawks at CenturyLink until next season. The Seahawks truly have a 12th man, I wonder who will be the next team to win up there?
