One game win or go home!

Two days remain on the countdown to Championship weekend in the NFL, but one of those games has more media attention then any other game in the playoffs. The Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers square off for one last time this season for a shot at becoming NFC Champs and for a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII. The Seahawks and the 49ers series is tied at 15-15 but the funny thing is that this will be the first time these two rivals face each other in the playoffs! Percy Harvin has already been ruled out of this Sunday's game with a concussion but K.J. Wright is ready to play, not at 100% but he will play on Sunday. The fans, the media, and the teams always look forward to facing each other but this one is for all the marbles in the bag.

Russell Wilson will look to improve from his last 4 games. Wilson has look sluggish in last couple games by over throwing his intended receivers, not running with the ball when he has a shot at 10 or more yards, and making rookie mistakes. Some of the media has said that the sophomore slump is getting to Wilson at the wrong time, but I look at it differently.......he was just saving his A-game for this game! Wilson finished the season with a career high 3,357 passing yards and a career low of 9 interceptions. Colin Kaepernick apparently already went through the sophomore slump in the first 3 games of the season but Kaepernick has problems getting the ball off in time and he has had numerous delay of game penalties on him this year, so you know the 12th Man is going to be a huge factor in this game.

Kaepernick will have his safety blanket back for this game that he did not have in the first meeting at Century Link and that is Michael Crabtree. Crabtree suffered a torn achilles tendon at the start of the season and missed all but the last 5 games of the season, since then he has caught 33 passes for only 284 yards and 1 touchdown. Richard Sherman will do his best to shut down the Niners main receiver and the rest of the Legion of Boom will try to keep Anquan Boldin and Vernon Davis contained as well.

The goal in this game is for Russell to get going early and stay going. His main wide receiver Golden Tate was held to only 1 catch for 13 yards so its very important that Tate and Doug Baldwin get open, but Wilson does have another weapon not Jermaine Kearse but Zach Miller. If Wilson wants to get ahead early he and head coach Pete Carroll need to get Miller involved. Last year Miller caught 12 catches for 190 yards and 1 touchdown including his 142 performance in the Divisional loss to Atlanta. Miller was the big reason why the Seahawks came 31 seconds close to winning that game, so again its important that Wilson gets Miller the ball. One more weapon the Seahawks have of course is Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch, who set both a career high and a Seahawks playoff record last week with 140 yards on the ground. Wilson needs to get Lynch the ball also through the air.

There's plenty of things the Seahawks must do to win this game. Score points early, shutdown the Niner receivers, put a lot of pressure of Kaepernick, and above all give Russell Wilson plenty of protection. This Sunday is the final home game for the Seahawks and they want to give their fans one more win, they do not want the Niners winning a third consecutive road playoff win and winning the Conference Championship on their own field. The 12th Man needs to stay loud and get louder on every defensive play to get to Kaepernick and make him and head coach Jim Harbaugh to call timeouts early. In two days the Seahawks biggest game of the franchise kicks off and millions of football fans will be watch this heated rivalry not knowing who will come out on top.

GO HAWKS!!!
