(SportsNetwork.com) - Colin Kaepernick can already here the whispers and they will only grow louder if he fails again in two weeks. On the surface it seems like the Seattle Seahawks have the athletic quarterbacks number, a narrative further fueled on Thanksgiving Day when Richard Shermans two interceptions highlighted a dominant Seattle defensive effort as the Seahawks downed Kaepernicks 49ers, 19-3, in the latest edition of footballs fiercest rivalry. We just didnt play well, a disappointed Kaepernick said. And the outspoken Sherman, whose key defensive stop against Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree in Januarys NFC Championship Game helped vault the Seahawks into the Super Bowl, didnt miss his chance to pile on after he and his mates held the San Francisco offense to just 164 total yards. What history? I know no history, Sherman joked. There was an opponent (Kaepernick) who said he would throw it to the open man. He didnt care who was out there (in coverage). I was the open man. That was a nod to earlier in the week when Kaepernick affirmed he wouldnt shy away from throwing at Sherman despite the All-Pros reputation as the games best cornerback and his previous high-profile success against the Niners. They were bad throws, Kaepernick admitted. Our receivers won. I didnt make the throw on those. Those were my fault. Back in January, the Seahawks edged out the 49ers 23-17 in Seattle, scoring 13 unanswered points and going ahead on Russell Wilsons 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse in the fourth quarter. Kaepernick was able to move his team from its own 22 to the Seattle 18-yard line before his pass attempt to Crabtree in the back-right corner of the end zone was tipped by Sherman and intercepted by Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith to seal the outcome. After the game, Sherman came over and slapped Crabtree on his rear and stuck his hand out, but the Niners wide receiver responded by smacking Sherman in the helmet. Sherman wasnt done as he exploded into a TV camera during an interview on the field that he was the best cornerback in the game while labeling Crabtree a sorry receiver. Revenge wasnt in the cards for either Kaepernick or Crabtree on Turkey Day. I was laughing the whole time, the boastful Sherman said. I told their sideline if they threw it my way I would end the game. With Sherman shutting down one side of the football field Kaepernick threw for only 121 yards on 16-of-29 passing as the 49ers had their three-game win streak come to an end and more importantly fell behind Seattle in the ultra- tough NFC West with only four games to play. They are a good defense, they play fast, they play physical, Kaepernick said. We just have to be able to make plays. But are they capable of making plays against Sherman and Co.? Somebody said they threw at (Sherman) five times and he had two picks, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. He was all over it. Im really fired up for him because theres been a lot of scrutiny (on Sherman) and a lot of people watching what he was going to do in this game. He went out and played really good fundamental football, as he has all season. And thats no anomaly. Kaepernick has started five games against the Seahawks and amassed a 1-4 record while completing just 77-of-146 passes for 820 yards with three touchdowns and nine interceptions. Against teams who dont have Sherman suiting up, Kaepernick has thrown 50 touchdowns versus only 15 interceptions. If your quarterback doesnt play well, its going to be hard for you to win games, Kaepernick said. Sherman also left plenty of darts for Crabtree, purposefully ignoring the Niners best receiver while handing out accolades to his complementary pieces. I have respect for their receivers, Sherman said. Stevie (Johnson) is very talented. Anquan (Boldin) has been a terror in this league for a while. Brandon Lloyd as well. Obviously, you guys know Im minus one. After taking a 10-month respite before Thursdays game, the rivalry will renew much more suddenly as the two teams are scheduled to meet again in Seattle on Dec. 14 in footballs loudest environment. And Kaepernick knows what needs to be done to stop the whispers -- win in Seattle, something only two teams have been able to do since Wilson took over the Seahawks in 2012. We have to win out in order to have a shot to get into the playoffs. And exorcise the demon that is Richard Sherman. Cheap Nationals Jerseys Authentic .
