You mean when you guys finished the season playing the Dolphins, Jets, Cards, St. Louis and Buffalo? YAWN

He did have a nice game vs 49ers no doubt, no denying that
You forgot Atlanta where he set a nfl playoff rookie record 385 yards 109.4 rating , Chicago with a 104.5 rating.

And St. Louis is a tough team with a solid defense you should know that being that the niners didn't win a game against them.

Ahh I thought you meant finished the regular season so I excluded ATL and ignored Chicago for my own benefit, but I digress.

St Louis is a good team, which is why I am picking them to beat you on MNF this year, but that was the last game of the season, they were all ready eliminated from the playoffs, big deal

And I would argue that you lost that ATL game because you tried to play ATL's game, Russel had never thrown for that many passes in a regular season game, and you got away from the best player on your team, Marshawn "Dave and Busters" Lynch

Your argument is a silly one then being that Atlanta jumped to a very very early lead and was a head 20-0 at half time. Of course they had to rely on Wilson throwing the ball that much being behind. The Defense got them in that jam in the first place and the offense bailed them out by scoring 28 points in the second half (only for the defense to fail again in the final seconds of the game).

lol coming from a raider fan who thinks they gonna take the AFC west annually, this has no validity
lol not quite, I don't think the Raiders will win many however u delusional Niner fans think y'all are a lock to make it back to the Superbowl when other teams like the Giants who kick y'all asses annually had a off year last season. Y'all have little to no shot to make it back actually.

Wilson led them to a 28 point second half for the lead. Quite obviously the difference was your defense didn't fuck up with 20 something seconds left.

Also don't be so offended that I call him a hook nose faggot lol this is just rivalry shit talk. Your QB is a great player and will have a fine career. It makes the rivalry funner to "hate" guys like CK and your coach, just like I'm sure you guys love to "hate" our coach and Richard Sherman. This is part of the intense rivalry.

Ya @ 2-0 Sixx, you got me there, your D really fucked that up, at least you guys rely on your offense, oh wait....
Seattle has proven it has a potent offense. The defense was solid last year but the biggest weakness was lack of a pass rush, as i mentioned, which was even worse against atlanta with clemons out. They have addressed this issue in the off season and the pass rush should be much better this yer.

Work never ends for 'football junkie' Russell Wilson

RENTON, Wash. —Darren Fells never asked how Russell Wilson got his phone number. He didn't recognize the number on the other end when the call came in, either.

Fells, a 27-year-old former pro basketball player for whom "project" is an understated title, was just a day or two removed from signing with the Seattle Seahawks when the team's starting quarterback extended an invitation to join his new teammates for workouts in Los Angeles.

"That was an extremely surreal experience for me," Fells told USA TODAY Sports. "I was sitting down. My girlfriend was sitting right next to me. Right when I got that call and he was like, 'Hi, this is Russell Wilson,' I actually, like, sat up. I was in shock. I didn't think I was awake."

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll smiled as the story was recounted in a hallway at the team's headquarters after a recent training camp practice.

He hadn't heard it before – about Wilson asking everyone in the building for Fells' number before an assistant coach found it, about Wilson offering to pay for Fells and his girlfriend to make the trip, as he'd done for other rookies and veterans alike – but it came as no surprise.

"He's got everything within his grasp," Carroll said of Wilson. "He knows the people. He knows the urgency of getting to know those guys. He would be wide open to everyone (having) a chance."

A year ago, Wilson couldn't be sure he'd get his chance, much less throw for 3,118 yards and 26 touchdowns in a rookie season that saw him beat veterans Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson in camp and lead the Seahawks to the NFC divisional playoffs.

He'd fallen to the third round, the 75th pick overall, in the NFL draft because of his small stature; he's a shade under 5-11. But the Seahawks were sold on his anticipation, eyes, decision-making and ability to move in the pocket.

Everyone has a story

Ask about Wilson now, and everyone has a story, from chasing down a tight end who hadn't played football since high school, to regurgitating an advance scout's report verbatim, to poking his head in on a post-practice workout of several free-agent receivers last week.

"I think it's all about having an edge in this game – as much edge as you can get," Wilson said. "An understanding of how guys play. ... You've got to trust in what you see and believe in it and let the rest take care of itself, because once you've prepared, you're already ready."

Wilson, 24, offered to pay for all his tight ends, receivers and running backs to fly in for that week of workouts in L.A. before the offseason program began in April. The gesture is more significant when considering he has to play out at least two more seasons under a rookie contract that included a modest signing bonus of $619,472.

But that's Wilson. Every Monday last season, he coaxed rookies into the weight room. The day after the 30-28 playoff loss to the Atlanta Falcons – a game the Seahawks rallied to lead with three fourth-quarter touchdowns before the Falcons' winning field goal – Wilson was in the film room.

"He came in the same way he is now," wide receiver Sidney Rice said. "The film study, he did it his first day here. The way he carries himself, he did it his first day here. He came out here, proved himself on the field. He's still doing that right now. ... Russell's been Russell since Day One."

'Hard not to follow'

Wilson is fond of referring to the Seahawks as a family, which can be
cliché. But it doesn't sound that way when it comes out of his mouth, or when he backs it up by tracking down a phone number even general manager John Schneider didn't have when Wilson called about Fells.

"He's a hard guy not to follow," Schneider said. "(Fells is) a guy that's a former basketball player that we're doing an experiment with, and he's trying to figure out how to get ahold of the guy so he can bring him down to the beach to work out.

"He's just very rare in that regard. He's a football junkie."

The expectations are higher this season for the Seahawks and their quarterback, though Wilson doesn't hesitate when asked if he believed his rookie year would go the way it did.

"I did. I always believe in myself," Wilson said. "The thing I believed in is just getting better every week. If I can do that, you give yourself a chance. I've got to be better than I was the last game of last year and keep going. That's the way I think."

How does he do that?

"Through hard work, man," Wilson said. "Watching tons of film. Doing the same thing, being consistent in your approach. Being clutch when you have to be and trying to dominate the game when you can."

Those are clichés, too, but they ring true to teammates.

"He's an extremely great leader," Fells said. "The first day I was out there, he was giving me pointers right off the bat. Anything I did wrong or needed to improve on, he told me right away what I can do. Stayed after a little bit, worked on it. He's just ready to win a Super Bowl."

San Jose, Ca
Kaepernick's confidence soaring in 49ers camp


By ANTONIO GONZALEZ

AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Just a week into training camp, Colin Kaepernick can already feel the difference between where the San Francisco 49ers' offense is now versus this time a year ago.

All of his teammates can see the evolution, too.

Kaepernick's confidence and comfort level has been soaring on and off the field. He has been tossing deep balls with more touch behind that powerful right arm -- even leaving All-Pro linebackers questioning how to defend such precision -- and strutting around the 49ers' facility with a black beanie on his head and bright red head phones around his neck to show off his swagger.

"I think thus far I'm a lot farther ahead from where I am last year," Kaepernick said Wednesday. "And hopefully moving forward that continues to show more and more."

All eyes have been on Kaepernick since camp began last week.

While his favorite target has been new wide receiver Anquan Boldin, Kaepernick and tight end Vernon Davis turned in what might be the play of training camp Tuesday. A day later, the throw and catch still had the 49ers facility abuzz.

Davis, lining up in the left slot, was covered by All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis underneath and safety C.J. Spillman over the top. Davis sliced across the middle of the field and made an over-the-shoulder catch on a perfectly thrown pass by Kaepernick some 45 yards down field for a touchdown.

"When Kaep threw the ball and Vernon was able to turn on another gear and go get it on the other side of the field, I'm just like, `Come on, that's not even fair," Willis said.

The play was just a small sign of how far Kaepernick has come with his receivers.

Davis' role diminished when Kaepernick took over for Alex Smith last season. The tight end finished with 41 receptions for 548 yards and five touchdowns in the regular season; all three were his lowest since he caught 31 passes for 358 yards and two TDs in 2008.

Kaepernick said Davis' determination has never wavered. The two spent extra time together this offseason building that chemistry -- which Davis candidly said last year they didn't have -- and trust to create big plays like the one in Tuesday's practice.

"He did everything right on that play," Kaepernick said. "He made the correct read on the coverage, hit his landmark and at the end had that extra burst of speed to go get the ball."

The biggest challenge for Kaepernick so far in training camp has been finding rhythm with all of his receivers, which has been increasingly difficult because of injuries.

Top target Michael Crabtree is rehabbing his surgically repaired right Achilles tendon and is expected to miss at least half the season -- and likely more. Mario Manningham is coming off an ACL tear in his knee and is expected to be back "at some point" this season, coach Jim Harbaugh said. And Kyle Williams, A.J. Jenkins and Kassim Osgood each came off the field Tuesday with apparent leg issues, though none seemed serious.

Kaepernick has used the time to develop a rapport with others receivers, including shifty slot man Chad Hall, who has surprisingly emerged as one of the quarterback's favorite targets for one reason.

"He gets open," Kaepernick said.

Kaepernick believes the work he did with most of his receivers following the Super Bowl will alleviate the time they miss in training camp nursing injuries. They spent about two months in the Atlanta area running routes and studying the playbook, and the coaches have noticed the offseason work.

"I think Colin's getting better at really everything he does, just because of the approach he takes. He's definitely somebody with a live arm, and I think he's really focused on all his throws -- short, intermediate and deep," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said.

The 49ers believe Kaepernick's experience in the offense is what has led to his progression.

Kaepernick, drafted in the second round out of Nevada in 2011, is entering his third season under Harbaugh and Roman -- and first as the unquestioned starter. He finished 7-3 as the leading man last season with 1,814 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed for a quarterback playoff record 181 yards -- with a 56-yard touchdown against Green Bay in the divisional playoffs -- and he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, where they lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens.

While the regular season doesn't begin until Sept. 8 against the Packers, Kaepernick said his command of the offense in camp gives the 49ers a powerful starting point.

"It's just being more comfortable with the receivers," Kaepernick said. "People I'm throwing to, our tight ends, receivers, they're making plays and I'm putting the ball up there."
