While it’d be cool to get some real football and X’s and O’s talk in here, its still a rivalry we’re talking about. This is the two times a year our 49er members poke their heads out of Largent80’s “The 49ers Suck” forum and show all of us how little they actually know about the NFL. I'd love to hear some of the match-ups they're keying on.
But, here's my smackish two cents...
Always being secure with my intellect and “size” (incorrectly), I’ve never been the type that worked out. Even though I played sports and football my entire life, I never joined the others in the gym. Naturally though, most of my friends we’re devout gym rats.
One of my closest friends got heavily involved into power lifting and through him I became friends with a lot of power lifters and meatheads. One thing that always struck me was the disdain the true “lifters” had for bodybuilders. Bodybuilders being the type who tanned and shaved their chest. Bodybuilders weren’t just annoyance to them, they we’re phony douchebags creeping out others at the gym. I recall countless times where one of my friends would verbally emasculate a bodybuilder type in front of others. They went out of their way to berate and humiliate these guys.
At first I was shocked by the behavior. When I looked at the bodybuilders, I saw huge dudes that it’d seem wise to steer clear of. But, none of my friends ever thought twice about it. They showed me those dudes are fake tough guys and nothing to be fearful of (if it ever came down to a physical confrontation). I learned they’re bulk is just a façade, it’s all fluff, for show, it doesn’t equate to real strength.
And, that’s the analogy I think best describes the 49ers; phony tough guys. The 49ers are the smooth, tan, body builder types (hot though) that are all façade. And the Seahawks are the dudes who just want to get stronger and resent the posery of the 49ers. On the surface the 49ers are just as “Faster, Bigger, Stronger” as the Seahawks…but they aren’t when it comes down to it, huh?
On the field, I honestly have no idea what to expect from the 49ers. Their offense has been dreadful and that once epic oline gets criticized a lot. The defense still seems to be getting low scores, but it doesn't feel the same.
