Randy, I think due to the rivalry which has only been around a couple years draws more attention to yesterday's game from the NFC fans, especially with all the trash talk from fanboys (on both sides) than the superbowl will. It's like if the packers and bears met in the NFC championship game, or like the Pats/Broncos game was. To fans, a rivalry game is always going to be more interesting/hyped than playing a team that isn't a HEATED rival. I could care less if the Broncos/Pats are better or worse than the niners (or seahawks for that matter).
That's not to say that it's a more important game than the superbowl, but beating your rival if only a newish rival is almost, if not as important as going to the superbowl.
Yesterday was a great game. The seahawks got their running game going, and were able to overcome the defecit and come up with a big stop when needed (last play). My hat goes off to them. I think they'll have a very difficult time in the big game because of the lack of home field advantage (they don't play nearly as well on the road) but Wilson is smart and Lynch is a beast, so who knows. Good game Seattle fans and good luck to you guys in the 'bowl.
