The Seahawks have a lot of work to do offensively. It won't be a blow out but it will be a win to start feeling better about ourselves again.

The one thing I'm keeping an eye out for is how this brand new offense will fare in Seattle, schematically at least.
The Seahawks had the Harbaugh/Roman offense's #.....with various degrees of success. They played a very good game against the Eagles in 2014, which is somewhat concerning.....but not as concerning as trotting out the same ole garbage as before.
So yeah, those Harbaugh teams had more talent in general, but in Seattle that O was so ineffective that that great defense was pretty much wasted.
Patrick Willis and the Smith Brothers can't win you jack when you only score 3 points.
I'm ok with the 49ers possibly losing this weekend, but it better not be because the team gave up and just let the Hawks own the mental edge.
I think that's what Niner fans are most anxious to see above all other stuff. Seattle lost a bit of it's home field invincibility last year, and now that the offense has been struggling these last two weeks, no excuses to be thrown off your game.

Some will argue since we only scored 3 against them while the 49ers rolled them 28-0 that should somehow mean that we will lose to the 49ers.
Hogwash.
History tends to be a good indicator of trends and this team in the PC/RW/JS era knows how to come off a disappointing loss on the road and get back to the winning column at home the following week.
