THURSDAY NIGHT DOORMAT

SEAHAGS (2-4) vs.  FORTY-WHINERS (2-4)

There is no doubt about it.  This is a serious Doormat Division game tonight folks.  The two teams that have hated each other for years.  The Thanksgiving game where Seahawks set up a table and started eating turkey dinner right on the Levi's Stadium turf after clocking the Niners. The huge games with the trip to the Super Bowl on the line.  Media hater Colin Scampernick vs. choirboy Russell Wilson.  Richard Sherman and anybody. 

SO WHAT.  The more losses you have, the more vital the rivalry. This game's about nothing. NOTHING. How does that make you feel, fanboy?  Order extra 80-year old security personnel at Levi's Stadium.  Wear your hard hat.

 Two desperate teams, one unwittingly engineering themselves into the Basement (Seattle) while the other has done it from the top down (SF), in a game that somebody just HAS to lose in order to stay in the Moldy Carpet hunt.  3-4 isn't gonna cut it.  Only 2-5 will do.

The Hags lead the league in sacks allowed, while the Whiners haven't sacked anybody since Death Cab for Cutie was the biggest name in music you don't listen to. When push comes to shove...waiting...still waiting...never mind. The Whines expected a dip in the D, after so many rats jumped ship, but instead they've been blessed with an ABYSS of ineffectiveness.

The Hags are coming off yet another impressive last second loss, while the Whiners could not keep out of the end zone (defensive backs that fall down repeatedly are hard to throw to) last week and saw the Ravens grab the loss right in front of them. Galling.

Will this be another 2015 Doormat game where both teams get to rack up 450 yards of offense, and fake the fans into thinking something is devloping?
Or will they make us think the Chiefs are in town?

It may come down to a vicious punting battle.  The Hags check in #2 in the league (32) trailing only perennial champion Buffalo (33), while the Niners have just sketchy enough punting to make you worry every time 4th down rolls around.

EDGE TO LOSE:   We have NO idea.  Whiners.  They won last week.  They're done winning for now.
