Was that a Seahawks game or a Final Destination movie? It felt like watching my friends die right in front of me, only to come back to life and then get killed again.
The Seattle Seahawks lost to the San Francisco 49ers 32-29 on Sunday, one of the ugliest games by an offense that you will ever watch.
I can’t muster up many words for this game right now, but maybe you can and I’d really appreciate it if you did. Jump in the comments and share your immediate thoughts:
Sam Darnold threw two interceptions and Seattle’s running backs fumbled twice, including one by Emanuel Wilson that led to a quick touchdown, and one by George Holani that led directly to a touchdown just before the half.
I knew that the Seahawks couldn’t kneel because the 49ers had three timeouts, but I thought they might at least kneel once with Darnold running around to at least kill five or six seconds. Nope. Seattle went directly to a call that had to be worse than a passing play: Outside zone run to a third-string running back against Fred Warner.

Earlier in the game, George Holani let the ball slip out of his hands — totally untouched. And they game him the ball THERE?! When they coulda kneeled it? Tom Brady was fired up: “He’s holding the ball like it’s a walkthrough.”

Even so, you can’t beat the Seahawks that easily.
Seattle held a lead in the second half and should have at least been able to get into field goal range, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba was unable to haul in a pass inside the red zone. Cooper Kupp’s final fourth down play might have been a first down, but let’s be honest about it.
If the roles were reversed, would you have argued it was a first down for the 49ers? Don’t put yourself in position to NEED that play.

JSN was the one shining star on offense, gaining over 100 yards again.
Byron Murphy had two sacks and a big run stop to be Seattle’s “Defensive Player of the Game”. Nehemiah Pritchett had an interception and will be the Special Teams Player of the Game.
The Seahawks are 3-2, the 49ers are 5-0. At least we know one thing:
The last time the Seahawks lost to the 49ers at home in the regular season, they won the Super Bowl.
