The NFC Championship game edition of the NFC West mixtape is here.

I'm Rob Stats-Garer of the 49ers Gold Standard podcast alongside Dan Biends in the Seahawks Forever podcast. Dan, I don't appreciate that background. I thought you would not appreciate it, which is exactly why I switched it about 10 minutes ago. Hang on one second, though, before we get started, I got to change my hat. Sorry, sorry for the hair. All right, I forgot to do that before I. Okay. All right. Now I'm ready to go.

Audio listeners.

What do you have on your mind?

Dan is wearing a Seahawks.

Is that a NFC West Champions hat?

It is, which my entire life, anytime the Seahawks have won the championship,

I've always frowned and looked down my nose on division

championship merch. I've never bought in it because it's like the jobs have finished. This one, it's been such a long wait. It's such a tough hill to climb in that division that we play in, that we talk about it on this show. And it was good looking hat. So I had to order one. it's actually not as far as division championship hats go it's pretty good but i agree i never buy those

because like if they don't win the Super Bowl, who cares that you won the division that year? But you've got your hat. You've got your picture of the Seahawks background where they're, I don't know, celebrating something, probably one of, is that the opening kickoff? It's the opening kickoff. Yeah. That's for shooting right there. A little Brady Russell right here.

It's a great. celebrating something probably one of is that the opening kickoff it's the opening kickoff yeah that's

right there a little brady russell right here it's it's it really when you see the full

picture if you've seen the whole thing it's it's it's one of the coolest pictures uh photos that i've

seen a long time reminds me the old sports illustrated days when sports illustrator really was

sports illustrated yeah i we don't have to spend too long on this because obviously we've got an end-

I got as much time as you need, but we can talk about this game.

Look, I have said that I think that I don't think the 49 or the Seahawks are so much better than the 49ers.

I think if they replayed that game, I think it would be different, but they're not. And the Seahawks are so much better than the 49ers. I think if they replayed that game, I think it would be different, but they're not.

And the Seahawks are better than the 49ers this year.

And that game in particular was a whooping.

It was a belt to ass, whooping, period, end of discussion.

That's it.
