The Seahawks and 49ers are turning that opinion around of late with their stellar play and hard hitting games. as we come up on the NFC Championship game this weekend lets explore what these teams have gone through the last few years.
all time these teams have met 30 times with each team claiming victory half of the time. This last season saw the Seahawks embarrass the 49ers in Seattle and then have the 49ers pull out a close game in San Francisco.
With the emergence of quarterback's Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson these games now mean more than they ever have. The first task for these two teams is to just get through the rough NFC West, which has gone from weakest division in the NFL to by far the toughest.
Jim Harbough and Pete Carroll are carrying over their Stanford-USC days to the big show and what a ride that has been the last few seasons.
While I can claim my own favorite team in the Cardinals, my favorite team to watch play other than them is the Seahawks and that's simply because of their devastating defense. Richard Sherman IS the best corner in the league by a larger margin than most would think.
Whatever the result of the NFC Championship game is, expect a 10 round slugfest.
