Seahawks Maintain
Okay, beating the 49er's by two points is not a great victory, but it is enough to give them undisputed claim to the best record in the NCF. I will now proclaim: Christmas eve will be a Super Bowl preview (with the Colts).

I'm on the record: I said the 'S' word.
I also want to go on the record for saying the "HoF" word for Alexander. My nickname for Shaun: "Unstoppable."
Art Thiel in the Seattle PI (an excellent sports columnist who has been writing about the Seahawks since the beginning) made the suggestion that the 49ers were simply too embarassed to keep losing badly in front of Steve Young, who was there being honored for some trifling acheivement.
The players were making a fair point - two years ago, the Seahawks would have lost this game. Now they don't panic and don't self-destruct.
If you're a Seahawks fan you know the difference between excitable anxiety and that sinking feeling. And in the 4th on the attempted 49er 2-point conversion, that sinking feeling wasn't there- in fact, it hasn't been around for a really long time.
Up here the team the Seahawks are getting compared to is the 49ers in the late 80s, particularly the year they beat the Bengals in the S-Bowl.
And the proper nickname for Shaun Alexander is:
Squeeky.
I refuse to explain.

Gentlemen, we are all excited about the fine play of our heroic "Blue Men" ; however as a former goalie I can tell you that the most dreaded exclaimation in sports is "Hey, he's got a shutout going". The second most dreaded exclamation is sports is any sentence with "Super Bowl" in it.
