Where 49ers fans rank against other NFC West teams

Best of the best in the NFC West: Seattle Seahawks

Again, this is painful to admit. Especially considering the overwhelming majority of Hawks fans I’ve personally met have been overly annoying, and chances are they’ll relish being annoying again if any of them read this particular ranking.

Some are cool, yes. Just not a lot of them.

At any rate, there were a few deciding factors in putting the dreaded 12s at the top in the NFC West and above the 49ers fanbase. While not quite as well-traveled as Niners fans, they’ll still show up at opposing stadiums in abundance, although San Francisco fans will kindly ask Seattle fans who their quarterback was before 2012 and the Russell Wilson era.

So, who?

The last 10 years surely gave Seahawks fans plenty of reasons to be boisterous, something 49ers fans know all too well. And during that time, the 12s were responsible for helping make Lumen Field one of the two loudest venues in the NFL, regularly competing for top decibel levels with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium.

Yeah, unfortunately, Levi’s Stadium never comes close to that.

However…

It’ll sure be interesting to see how the 12s react to what could likely be a long, bad era of Hawks football in the post-Wilson era that began in 2022. And if Seattle falls back into obscurity, perhaps the 12s will be another fringe fanbase once again.

They can brag about being No. 1 in the NFC West for now, though.
