The difference is that the 9ers rivals are the power houses of football and atleast for GB and Dallas we have played them mutiple times in the playoffs, maybe your right in the sense that the Rams and Hawks are no where near the type of franchise the 9ers are so therefore they have weaker rivalries or something I dunno.
Lets take a look at this
Rams n Hawks played twice in the 70s
played twice in the 80s
played twice in the 90s
Then of course u guys join the NFC West and you guys pretty much dominate them and play them once in the playoffs and lose, maybe if this was 2005 2006 after the Rams Rise and at the peak of yours I could kinda understand this argument, but this is clearly one of the weakest rivalries in proffesional sports not to mention the Rams are our division rival weve played them prolly 5x what you have
Man, OBVIOUSLY the rivalry is a NEW rivalry, as I've already stated prior. OBVIOUSLY there isn't going to be some deep rivalry if they just joined the division in
2002. OBVIOUSLY there are older, much more heated rivalries in the NFL. Chicago vs Green Bay puts any teams rivalry to shame.
What I'm saying is right now there has been a rivalry with the Rams and it will heat up again whenever they can get better (which could be a long time). But it already started.
49ers will also be a rivalry, especially now that it looks like ya'll finally got a good team and will likely be good for a few years at least. Seattle has been a rebuilding team the past two seasons but the pieces of the puzzle have started to get put in place and in a year or two, there are going to be some heated, very competitive games. Talk shit now if you want but that shit is going to come back and bite you in your ass sooner or later.
Going back to the rams, you don't live here you haven't watched the games. I remember in 2004 when Isaac Bruce taunted teh seahawks fans by placing his helmet on the field after an overtime victory
Prior,
Sept. 21, 2003: The Rams take a 23-10 lead into the fourth quarter at Seahawks Stadium. But Matt Hasselbeck throws two touchdown passes — the second coming with one minute to go — and the Seahawks win, 24-23.
Dec. 14, 2003: Down 27-22 with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks are driving for the go-ahead touchdown. Only receiver Bobby Engram collided with the back judge on a near-touchdown catch, and the drive stalls. The Rams win, 27-22.
Oct. 10, 2004: The Rams erase a 27-10 Seahawks lead in less than nine minutes, then win the game on a long pass in overtime. Engram admitted this week that the loss hurt more simply because it was the Rams.

There were great games in 05 & 06 as well.
