49ers vs Seahawks

[Mr. Scot]

This game was kind of a double-edged sword.

As a pure football fan, it was loads of fun to watch.

As a Panther fan, it was more "Man, why can't we look this good?"

I asked in another thread a while back...but here I am again.

In Seattle, they have THE most conservative coach in the NFL and continue to win, year in and year out.  Pete is a defense first guy, and in their healthy years I think that Russ and Cam were about neck and neck as far as being "great" players.

What makes them so different than us?  How can they be so consistent, and we are the exact opposite?

And it isn't the division, that division has been pretty damn good for a while.

What is it?  I sure as hell can't figure it out.

[Mr. Scot]

Better management, maybe?

The only year I really remember beating them was 2015. Outside of that they've pretty much owned us.

This right here:

An offensive line made up of 1st round draft picks and a 2nd in Britt. They've been playing together for quite a while and they're not going through camp looking to make wholesale changes seemingly every fugging year like Carolina does. Seattle, Pittsburgh in their prime, New England, among others have one thing in common when it comes to personnel- they all have O-lines made up of guys who've been together for a few years. They can add or lose a guy here and there, but you never see them swapping out 2-3 players every season.

That can explain this year, but a couple years ago Seattle had the worst O Line in the NFL...still kept winning.

One day I'll figure it out, but man....it's tough to figure out exactly what their deal is.

Wilson is the 5th most sacked qb this year and is always been behind bad pass protecting lines.

Russell Wilson is good. It's not really a mystery.

Lots of QB's are good, I'm asking about their ability to consistently be good.  The Packers have a great QB and they are about as up and down as we are.  Same with quite a few other teams.

My question isn't how good Russ is, we ALL know that, my question is how are they able to maintain their consistent winning record over the past 8 or so years?

What is so different about the Panthers and the Hawks that we literally cannot win back to back seasons and they are in the playoffs every season?
