Sorry, I quoted JODB's response without reading through the end of the thread. If I had realized everyone had already paid tribute to the greatness of the Seahawks then I would not have given the same response.
So you're from Seattle, eh?
Indeed. And the $100 I bet on them to win the Super Bowl preseason feels like a great bet right now Bully for you.

In all seriousness, I always feel that as an Arsenal supporter, I have it pretty damn good. I would argue that this season is merely a pleasant culmination of many seasons of relative over-achievement. Our club has a resourceful manager with a keen eye for talent and is now able to complement those strengths with resources born of a proper business model.
Title or no this season, this is a team on the rise with a nucleus of exciting young talent. So at the risk of stirring up far different emotions, I'll quote Coach Harbaugh who asks, "Who's got it better than us?" To which the entire team replies, "NOBODY."
"And it's Arrrrr-senal, Arsenal FC!"
Seattle did indeed have a 12th man. He wore black and white. Yes, I AM whining about the officials!
The bad calls that went against the Niners ended up being mostly inconsequential. Seahawks were always going to be a tough match-up in their house with that D. Some better decision making by Kap would have seen them pulling the upset. As he has barely over a full-season (plus playoffs) of starting QB experience, we' can reasonably hope for better down the road. The brutality of this gladiator sport was never more in evidence than on the play where Bowman was injured. His knee was mangled, and it took at least 30 seconds to get all the players off of him who were scrambling for the ball.
I hate that mature, reasoned outlook, and I am just a homer. Buck and Aikman - certainly not SF lovers - we're harping on the 49ers getting screwed...until the 4th quarter got exciting and everyone forgot. You can't be sure 15 yards here and there were consequential...but you also can't be sure they weren't. And they ALL went against SF. You can be sure that had the roughing the kicker been called properly - the is rule book stuff, not judgement - the 49ers would have had 1st and 10 at the 40, instead of ceding great field position to Seattle, who promptly scored. Yes, better judgment by CK might have secured a different result, but the events are not mutually exclusive. The NFL is a mess, both the rules and the ability of the officials to correctly enforce them. As for Bowman (somehow 8 allstar officials missed him lying on the ground with the ball and nobody on him), yes, not pleasant, on the other hand no worse than Ramsey...
Crybabies. Next you'll be telling us that Seattle were not uniformly classy in their post game remarks.
Well you have to hand it to Sherman...he is entertaining...
seriously does every Arsenal thread have to be turned into an NFL thread?,Slow Joe if you have nothing to contribute to the football discussion here, go find somewhere else to discuss your NFL.
A lot of people on here have had to deal with a LOT of nonsense on here. Your response to them? Skip the content. I'll give you the same advice. That's very good advice. It should be given out more broadly than just to the Piz.

Sometimes I as a read the arguments on here between supporters and I wonder imagine if this was last year when we were struggling to make the top four? We are Top of the League, people...enjoy it!!!

There is no rule that states these things are mutually exclusive.
