As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to host the San Francisco 49ers at CenturyLink Field Sunday, they are doing all in their power to intimidate the 14-4 team.

For one thing, they’re not letting California residents buy tickets to Sunday’s game.

The Seahawks will only accept transactions from credit cards based in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii, along with the Canadian provinces, NFL.com reports. The Denver Broncos are doing the same thing with their AFC championship game against the New England Patriots.

Seahawks fans also have taken to Instagram to talk trash about Colin Kaepernick. One fan compiled the Instagram photos from Kaepernick’s account and made direct comparisons to photos from Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson’s Instagram. It was posted by Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer.

The photos mainly show Wilson at charity events, with dogs, sick kids and a Marine. They are next to photos of Kaepernick showing off in front of a private jet, clubbing and a montage of his shoe collection.

The montage ends with “Go Hawks.”
