Seahawks have to start worrying about 49ers with Nick Bosa

The 49ers were a banged up unit in 2018. But the Seahawks’ NFC West foe is getting better. Now the 49ers have drafted Nick Bosa and might be very good very soon.

Nick Bosa is a good player. He might help the 49ers become a dominant defense. And he also might help transform the rivalry of the 49ers against the Seahawks into one that is fairly dormant into one that matters again. Seattle is going to remain a playoff contender. San Francisco might become a yearly contender again now that they have Bosa.

The NFL is all about a quarterback and his coach and then those players who can sack that quarterback. (But not the coach because I think that would be a penalty.) Bosa can sack a quarterback. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson gets sacked a lot. Sadly. And Bosa might sack Wilson quite a bit over the next four years. If he doesn’t that means Seattle has found a good way to protect Wilson and found the answer to stopping Bosa and the 49ers.

Of course, if the Seahawks do protect Wilson and he is able to get time to throw against a division rival and has enough time to score points Seattle should win. If Seattle beats San Francisco then they should be among the leaders of the NFC West. If Seattle can finish second or first in the division, then Seattle will make the playoffs. And if the Seahawks can make the playoffs, they could win the Super Bowl.

That is, of course, if Seattle can protect Wilson. Seattle has draft plans of their own in 2019 and that could be drafting an excellent offensive lineman who gives Wilson a chance against a Bosa-led San Francisco defense.

But Bosa would make the 49ers better. And Seattle fans should like a good 49ers team because we honestly hate the 49ers. A little hate goes a long way in sports. Bosa might be a good guy, but now he plays for the wrong team.
