I’d love to know how the schedule makers in the NFL decide these things. How in the hell do they think it’s right to make divisional teams face each other every other week? It just baffles me.
Oh well, the 49ers have the Seahawks again. This time the Seahawks are without a few pieces. Running back Rashaad Penny is out and wide receiver Doug Baldwin is questionable. This shouldn't’ change your outlook on the win/loss column. Despite Nick Mullens throwing 400 yards when the 49ers had their away game against Seattle, the 49ers aren’t playing for a playoff spot. The Seahawks are. That’s all you need to know about this contest.
That said, I’d love a 49ers win if not to just end the drought of wins the Seahawks have over the 49ers. I know I’m asking for a lot, but a man can hope, I suppose.
With that said, it’s onto your links.
