Hi all — I am working on BBC national radio again tonight for Pittsburgh vs Baltimore so won’t be able to dedicate my time to the Niners game. There will still be a post-game live stream but there won’t be an immediate ‘instant reaction’ blog post.

Ok, CFB fans: Kenny Pickett’s “fake slide” – why wasn’t he ruled down? He initiated the slide, and that is where the whistle should be blown. Blown call or an exploitation of the rule that could lead to player safety issues? I can see lots of QBs getting blown up now if it stands.
You got to hope for blown call. Otherwise I think some defenders especially if tgey were on the recieving end of that would look to blow up the qb asap.
Also it’s college where goofy crap can be fun but jumping cripes Pickett looks slow as a Manning on that run. And there’s easily a couple dozen near 300 pounders playing in the nfl that could chase him down before he even contemplates a fake slide.
Terrible officiating. Whistle should’ve been blown and ball down where he began his “slide”.
Good luck!
I will tune in during HT in the Hawks game. Enjoyed it last time!
Rob…
I empathize wth you getting pulled away from one franchise circling the drain only to have to discuss another franchise…circling the drain.
AP: 17 carries for 22 yards
Metcalf: three targets for 2 catches and 16 yards
PC: “I can’t figure out why we can’t stay on the field.”
Exploding head indeed
“It’s the same problems we’ve had all season”
Dennis Green but swith the pronouns:
“We are who we thought we are.” Gramattically as broken as this team i know. But it still works
“It’s working in practice.”
Marshawn in his prime wouldn’t do much with this o-line. But AP? Good God the bottom for this team just keeps descending.

Re: Kelly Smith.
A follow up about eastern washington’s Eric Barriere.
My only concern with small school guys racking up monster yards is (not always of course) that they are superbly scheme dependent.
Barriere is playing under the same coach who had Vernon Adams getting national attention some years back.
I’m excited to see a few qb’s at the senior bowl because most of them this year are uninspiring to bad.
I watched Barriere on TV 2xs this year (grew up in Spokane and my nieces both are EWU grads thus the interest). I’m not a scout or even half as smart at evaluating college guys as many including Rob, but he didn’t look at all like an NFL QB to me. I think you’re right about the scheme Peter.
I’m an Eastern alum, so I have have no regret saying this: Roos Field is an abomination to the eyes.
It makes the field in Albertsons Stadium look absolutely boring in comparison.
That field is comically nauseating
100% agee with both of you guys.
This Michigan team feels like a team of destiny, and the program ascendent. What a joy to watch them play.
Rooting for them for sure. Eff the SEC. Sick of ’em.
Yeah, I’m sick of the SEC too. But the destiny of Michigan is about to run into the reality of Saban assuming they get past Georgia.
it is awesome to see a good team play their best football at the right time of the year, only to be followed up by seahawks Saturday night and crashing back to reality

This troubles me.
This kind of tweet, which always follows a knuckle rapping, and the language used (a decade of winning, when the issues we see today are the culmination of four poor off-seasons) give off the air of a franchise that isn’t primed to make sure things are right at all.
The first thing you need to do is acknowledge the extent of the problem. Not chalk it down to an “off year”.
Extremely troubling. Competitive. You can almost hear the gum chewing in the background.
That is ominous.
So… it doesn’t matter how awful things get this year… we can just chalk it up to one bad season, huh?
If she wants more than a half full stadium next year, there *better* be some changes.
According to Garafolo, Pete Carroll “…just frustrated right now that the message that has gotten through for so long is not getting through right now…”
Ah yes, that’s it. Too much wax in the players’ ears I suppose.
Hey Siri, show me an example of embarrassingly lazy “journalism”
Good grief.
Here I thought Garafalo had finally given at least a threadbare rope for us to cling to.
Then Allen’s people took a machete and promptly hacked that rope into little bits of string, all whilst we fans tumbled back down into the abyss.
I guess the only way she changes her tune is if empty seats and horrible merchandise sales start drastically hitting the bottom line.
It’s gonna be a very long several seasons it feels like 🙁
Can today’s loss against Niner results in firing Pete?
if only……….

“What I’m hearing is the Seahawks have Russell Wilson under contract for two more seasons, so they envision a future with Russell Wilson as their quarterback.”
Let the jockeying and posturing begin.
Ownership is 100% responsible for the coming shit show. They could stop this any time they want with just a press release.
“What I’m hearing…”
From who, I wonder?
A shot across the bow of the USS Mark Rodgers.
“And they can use the franchise tag”
Seahawks/49ers Predictions
1. 49ers win time of possession 37 minutes to 23 minutes.
2. Adrian Peterson breaks 1 run for 10+ yards but is held under 35 yards rushing total.
3. Seahawks lose. Again.
4. DK Metcalf goes psycho in frustration and Pete says it’s all good. Nothing to see here.
Then Pete says “we’re working on finding a way to get DK more involved”.
There have been many years of bad drafts (and a terrible big trade) that have gotten us to this point, but I will say this: the 2020 draft is not among the bad drafts. It’s a good looking draft class.
Granted, many of us here wanted Jonathan Taylor in the 1st round and that would have been better but the top 3 picks look good now. Brooks is a solid player. He may suck a bit in coverage but he’s a great attacking tackler. Taylor might not be the brightest bulb, but he can get to the QB better than anyone we have. That might not be saying much, but at least he’s on the field and making life difficult for opposing tackles on 3rd and long. That’s worth something. Damien Lewis is a good NFL guard. Alton Robinson is a good use of a 5th round pick (who we all know should play more) and even though a guy like Freddie Swain isn’t good – he’s a good 6th round pick. A somewhat solid WR/PR who, most importantly, is one of those cheap guys on a rookie contract that make him more valuable than the Benson Mayowa’s of the world (not good, but get millions to not be very good). Parkinson has shown us nothing and I don’t particularly care for DeeJay Dallas but overall I think we can look at the draft and say it’s well above average.
But when you trade for a Jamal Adams, you’re pretty much guarantees the next few years of drafting will suck. It’s not that you’ve traded a singular 1st round pick for Adams, but the fact that the 1st rounder could have either been used to:
1. Draft a cheap player.
2. Used to trade down to acquire other cheap players.
But, NO, they have to not only trade the picks but pay a heck of a lot of money to Adams which prevents taking that $17 million per year into giving it to a stud FA OL of some kind.
Apologies for reposting, Curtis.
The finger of blame being pointed by Rhule.
Watching Bryce Young direct the vaunted Georgia defense yesterday and excel on 3rd down conversion was a breath of fresh air as a Hawks fan in need of some QB options in the draft.
Proposal
Trade Russ to the Giants for (2)1st Round Picks this Year and a 1st in 2023 + Daniel Jones
Trade DK for a 3rd this year and 1st + 3rd in 2023
Trade Adams for whatever the hell you can get
Cut Bobby this off season as a cap hit
Plan
Use this years draft capital to add young talent to the roster with a focus on the OL / DL. Use the 1st round picks from the Giants to draft an LT and Edge Rusher while maybe even adding more draft capital via trade backs.
Daniel Jones would be the stater next year and perhaps he shows some talent but in all likelihood the team would be in complete rebuild and playing in the NFC a definite candidate for the #1 pick.
Target Bryce Young as your QB of the future in the 2023 draft and continue adding talent around him in the draft as well as free agency in 2023 as the Hawks should have a crazy amount of cap space.
Would it suck that the Hawks would be dreadful yes but at least it would put them on a path going forward to be legit Super Bowl contenders. I don’t see that ever happening with Russ who is a very good not great NFL QB and needs an elite roster / defense to have any chance at playoff success.
I don’t see any new GM or coach trading Adams until after 2022.
His cap hit is only $9.11 million next year, but his dead cap is $16 million. Relative to his contract, as a whole, that is a small cap hit.
In 2023 that cap hit balloons to $18.11, but his dead cap is reduced to $12 million. Much more palatable if he is offloaded. You actually save $6.11 million by cutting him, as opposed to 2022, where you are paying him more to be elsewhere.
Unless he severely regresses and starts becoming a locker room cancer, he is a Hawk next year.
Bryce Young will be the likely #1 overall pick so………..
Well if pc stays…..there’s always a chance
Good point
I get where you are coming from with some of this.
Young was good on third down but let’s be real….
He wasn’t that accurate and when you look at the stat line it reads a bit like good Wilson. Three Wr’s averaging over 10 yards. One over 16 yards. And one guy catching it just 7 times for plus 180 yards. That’s a lot of ‘”bombs away,” offense.
Maybe it is time to move on. Or….maybe it’s tome to find a coach/coordinator who can find ridiculous openings in a formidable defense like saban/obrien did yesterday.
If you want the #1 overall pick in ’23, then you better not add good young talent. Use those picks for future picks to ensure you suck enough to get the #1 overall pick in ’23. Then load up.
Trevor Lawrence has disappointed a little bit this year. I still think he’s going to be a good one. But I’d trade Wilson for Lawrence if given the opportunity. Jacksonsville has got to be sick of sucking and they obviously need change. Again.
Joe Brady out as OC in Carolina. Wow.
Nice Rob, congratulations on being on BBC national radio!
Watching the Chargers v. Bengals and the LA RB fumbled and a Bengal was trying to run it back for a TD until Justin Herbert tackled him to keep him from scoring. It was a better tackle than most I’ve seen for the Seahawks’ D players this year. Now he is 6’6″ 250 but it was also a near perfect form tackle, from a QB. Bad assed
A major injury for SF is a bad way to start a game.
It’s hard not to be negative about todays game. But who knows? Will Peterson even play? Pete isn’t known for putting new guys in right away.
Well at least DK got a catch lol, what a terrible way to start. But what play by Homer
LOL, wow!
ST is literally the only thing we have going for us this season!
DAmn , what a play!!! Big Balls Pete, you can’t fire him now! Sign Homer up for a 6 year contract ASAP.
well that was fun….
No wonder it caught the niners off-guard….I was shocked off my couch….
PC setting that up by punting on every 4th and 1 this season….
playing the loooooong game…
SF defense is weakest in the middle with Warner and Greenlaw out but Seattle opens the game by attacking the perimeter?
Good on the fake punt call and excellent execution, but if not for that trick play, that’s another 3 and out to open a game.
Really good point
Seahawks Twitter: “Russell sucks and never throws short passes.”
Seahawks Twitter: “No not those types of short passes.”
I find myself despising this group of people.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, I just wanna see russ ball out to shut these people up. There are seriously people calling him a locker room cancer lol
Haha, the perfect welcome to AP to our OL…
Pocic just destroyed there.
We use far to many screen passes
Story of our season: whenever it looks like we might be gaining any positive momentum, shoot ourselves in the foot.
It was fun while it lasted! This whole best turnover rate in the league is just proof that the stats don’t tell you everything or even very much about the Seahawks. This team sucks to the core.
Our offense sucks beyond comprehension. Then we get an amazing fake punt play that turn into a TD. Then a defensive 3 and out stop, then back to the offense for a fumble that quickly results in a SF TD.
3 drives and nothing for this PATHETIC offense.
As much as I wanna see a good screen pass, 5 bad screen passes is not helping satiate my need.
Peterson looks like a complete waste of time.
Shocker, right…?
3rd and short….yeah let’s throw a terrible pass down the field. Why look for a easy completion in the middle
There is nothing easy for this offense
I’ve never seen a more poorly designed offense except for may UW 2021. It’s just atrocious. OL can’t block. QB struggling. Our 6’4” WR gets manhandled by small corners. Just a joy to watch.
Fumbles on consecutive possessions 🤦🏻♂️
At least Dickson is on his game. All hail Special Teams!
Maybe we should just try fake punts on the first 3 downs? Could it really be worse than this offense right now…?
Couldn’t hurt
Russ locked on do from the second that ball was snapped
Typical Hawk offense. Three nothing-burgers in a row.
Great play by Bobby now can we please capitalize on this with a methodical short drive
Well who didn’t see this coming lmfao
Good ole Jimmy G for ya
Hmm our offense is moving backwards.
The defense gifts the offense great field position and look what happens. This offense is trash.
Get ready for how good is Bobby Wagner?
Give the guy credit for making a play instead of trying to fit the narrative around here.
Lol – ok bud.
No other MLB in the NFL is making that type of play. I mean…who could
Intercept a pass thrown right at them…with no one within 3 yards of him. Impossible, spectacular play.
Pretty spectacular compared to what this pathetic offense is doing, BUD!
Great response Troy – yes, I think the offense is amazing, bud.
Likewise to you. My comment was to give him credit for making a play. I didn’t say it was spectacular or impossible. You said that sarcastically back at me. Have a good day.
You brought up “the narrative.” That’s why I responded rudely. Bobby has sucked. He was gifted an INT. I’m glad he made the play.
The whole team sucks. I’m done doing the offense versus defense thing that apparently has taken over Seahawk fandom.
Shouldn’t there be a penalty for two linemen landing on top of Wilson???
Wow
2nd and 43…LOLOLOLOL…I don’t think I’ve seen that before.
2nd and 43. Lovely.
Watch us convert this 3rd and 32…
That field goal was like Pete Carroll at the urinal – wide and to the right.
LOL
and short.
Its so pathetic..
This team is so bad
So far, the most entertaining game they’ve been in for quite a long time.
Hilarious.
Agree. Nothing to lose.
The Hawks are like an FCS team playing an SEC team. Just running around, looking pumped, and not doing much
Nothing again. They went backwards…
Our offensive line is so bad it’s hard to do anything on offense
Nice coverage peacock. You’re only a step and a 1/2 behind a fullback
He immediately pointed to a teammate after the play. That probably happens a lot
Ridiculously obvious hold on Mone on that missed pass to Juszczyk
Adams WHIFF!
nice almost tackle by Adams there.
After totally misdiagnosing the play from the start
Just a reminder, 2 1sts, a 3rd, a starting safety and 17.5 million dollars per year.
Good job Pete
I don’t know maybe it’s just me but I would think on 3rd and 2 you would kind of key on George Kittle
I’m gonna go ahead and predict another screen pass-deep bomb-rush up the gut combo coming from Russ.
Then a punt.
Then a penalty.
Then a shot of Pete’s mouth hanging open.
I’d bet the house on that
Damn. No shot of Pete slick-jawed.
There are real life people that actually hang their hat on pretending this defense is really good.
Man this team just sucks, all around.
jesus our offense is bad. i am having a hard time understanding the regression even from earlier in the season.
i severely overestimated our O-line too….they are terrible right now.
I don’t really know anything to say other than they need a complete refresh….
Oh I think it’s real easy –
Schematically awful
OL can’t block
QB struggling, playing scared, while coming off injury
No Run Game
Our stud 6’4” WR plays like he’s Wes Welker, just not as tough
i mean, it’s crazy right? they look like an expansion team. how have we sunk this f-ing low.
god Pocic is terrible, Curhan too..
It’s wild.
Completely broken. I mean irreparably. You have to replace the HC, OC, and probably 8 guys on offense.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theonion.com/seahawks-offensive-lineman-confused-by-complicated-sche-1848143949/amp
I’ve just about run out of things to say about this team. How bad can an offense be? It’s historically bad now.
3rd and 24 in a matter of seconds
unreal man…
not much fun to watch your team in this state.
Hope and Pray last game for Pete
2 seconds before he was sacked. Plenty of time come on Russ
End sarcasm
Ethan Pocic is bloody awful
2nd and 19. Let’s run Penny up the middle behind Pocic.
#PCout
Pocic is not even trying to block. Our coaches are blind or have no knowledge of football.
Al title from column A.
And a little from column B.
If you throw 5 kids from college OLs together, they can’t look as bad as this.
I double down, even 4 can do better job
Well if the offence keeps going like this rest of the year which it will we are going to have to trade picks with Wilson just so another team will take on his contract
If fans quit going to the games Jodi Allen might be forced to make some changes. Otherwise it’s likely to be status quo next year unless Pete retires.
If the stands are empty by the middle of the 3rd quarter, that might help, too.
Won’t be empty there will be plenty of 40 niner fans still in the stands
Not gonna defend RW – he has been terrible. But I’ll say this, no QB has a chance with this scheme and this OL. It’s atrocious.
As bad as the Seahawk OL has been at times, I’ve never seen them this bad.
agree…it’s as bad as i’ve seen. I think the crazy elusive version of Russell masked some of the old lines maybe, but this is as low as we’ve been.
Prove me otherwise….show me worse…
Some plays Russ has to throw the ball but yes Oline is responsible for 80%
Is this one of the worst starts for a Seahawk offense ever? I’ve got to put together a play-by-play of each Seahawk offensive play just to remind myself later of how bad it was.
Russ is looking she’ll shocked because of this offensive line
I’m surprised to not hear more boo birds out after that series
Boo birds? The place is full of 49er fans.
Don’t know about now but santa clara used to have a ton of hawks fans
Sorry meaning both teams typically would travel well to each field
Well there’s an explanation
What a sh**show.
Jamal Adams to be burned deep in 5, 4, 3,…
Wow they found a way to get Robinson on the field, and dontcha know he made a tackle.
quick! get him out of the game!
At this point he Robinson should start the rest of the year so you can properly evaluate him.
I know i’m preaching to the choir here, but I don’t know how anyone can watch the team perform like this – on both sides of the ball – and not conclude that management changes are needed.
I’m not sure if it’s true or not but there are rumors Jodi Allen is not happy
Link? I’ve seen nothing about this.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/12/05/report-seahawks-owner-jody-allen-is-very-involved-and-not-happy-with-teams-performance/
And then Garafolo walked back his comments so….,
Jesus Niners. Just throw it to Kittle every play. You’d be up by 28 at this point.
How in the hell is Freddie Swain now thee number one.
One thing about Jody Allen and Pete Carroll.
I”ve met several charismatic leaders and they sound quite convincing, even when they don’t accomplish anything they said they would. She may very well think he deserves another chance. Or that he could be moved up in the organization.
Please Pete was done 4 years back. But this is it.
Pete moving up in the org might still be OK….make him a figurehead, as long as we bring in a new HC.
Hawks RBs are so bad that Peterson looks good
3rd and 3 and that’s the play they call.
Bottom of the barrel, folks.
Bottom.
That was a decent long ball from Wilson. Even if Lockett couldn’t haul it in, the play didn’t fool the 49ers a bit.
Excellent throw put it where only he could catch it and yes niners weren’t fooled one iota
No, pls. Not Lockett
Because if the first backwards pass doesn’t fool ’em, the second one definitely will 🙄
SF’s safety wasn’t fooled, though he did incidentally trip Lockett to prevent the reception.
I about lost my mind with that play
I give AP credit for his effort today
JFC this half seems interminable. There’s still 6 minutes left.
Delay of game on a TO. Comical.
Delay of game after a time out to prevent the delay of game is unacceptable.
it’s also hilarious.
Really, this kind of thing isn’t anything new for this team. when we were a good team, we could live with it.
How fucking pathetic, delay of game out of a TO. Followed by the best throw and catch of the year.
When he has time. Ruds looking better this week for sure.
Absolutely
The season has been brutal and this game continues to show it. Things that will need to change:
Coaching: Pete has gotta go at this point. I think Norton had overstayed his welcome. New head coach has gotta be much more offensive-minded.
QB: I hate to say it, but Russ looks checked out. I know he was injured and I still don’t think he’s 100%. I don’t even think a new offensive-minded coach keeps him around. I see a trade happening and us maybe looking at a stopgap/competition for 2022 unless the new leadership LOVES a rookie.
RB: Carson is injured YET AGAIN… While talented, there’s no reliability in a RB that can’t play more than 10 games and then we’re scrambling the others games.
WR/TE: Lockett/DK/Swain/Eskridge seems to be our only solid position on the entire team. TE will need to be addressed again in the mold of the new offense.
OL: outside of contracts for Jackson and Lewis, the whole damn OL needs to be blown up.
DL: Needs a shot in the arm as well. Too many rotational type guys.
LB: Wagner can’t make $20M next season. I have always loved Bobby, but something has gotta happen with that #. If he’s cut/traded, I think Brooks slots over to MLB and then we need an outside LB.
CB: We need to find a star… Reed/Jones/Brown are good complimentary pieces, but none are a TRUE #1.
S: I’m pretty sure Diggs is gone. Can Neal play there? Adams is a mess and I wish we could walk away from him. Blair was hurt once again and while he’s shown some flashes, I’ve never seen him healthy.
So many holes/questions with little draft equity. A Russ trade creates some draft picks in a big way, but creates a HUGE question mark. The team is shifting and doing it as fast as possible is the ONLY way to do it!
Call a T/O to prevent the delay of game, only to get called for a delay of game is peak 2021 Carroll Seahawks
That is peak PC. LOL
let’s not pretend this is something that suddenly reared it’s ugly head this year.
Terrible delay of games have been a constant during Pete’s tenure.
He’s never been a good in-game coach. Not his strength.
Hey man don’t be mellowing my harsh 😂
I don’t care about the great play to DK, that was pathetic clock management
A delay of game after a time out. WTF!
DK actually held on to it. Nice pass and catch.
That’s Seahawks football, 2 bad plays bailed out by a fortunate deep pass
I’ve seen monkey shit fights at a zoo more organized and effective than this offense.
He 92 hawks offense was more effective than this one
how sad is that? I wonder if they want to move the team to london
Looks like the 40 niners are exploiting a weakness in Seattle’s coverage when they throw to kittle. I wonder who that weakness is?
Couldn’t be the Best in the Nation could it???
Well, not Adams or Wagner, surely.
They both make too much money to be bad.
I wonder if 49er fans go as nuts about Garoppolo flubs as we do about the Seahawks offense?
I’m sitting next to a 49 ers fan and he said hes numb to it
Is that from Garoppolo or the multiple vodka tonics?
If the 9ers lose this game, they will have to be thinking to themselves “we lost to these guys?”
Was that Ford with a wicked spin move off the snap to pressure JimmyG?
Not to get nostalgic, but I do miss Kam and Earl laying the boom. Adams best hits wouldn’t even make it on the highlight reel
So the hawks wasted all 3 timeouts lol
What a comedy of mismanagement. All these wasted timeouts are just the icing on the crap cake.
seattle starting to miss manage time outs, which means this might be a close game?
Was Daryl Taylor out covering the slot we?
Looks like Shanghai read my earlier comment.
Just give it to Kittle and it’s game over.
“Shanahan”
Kittle is good, but also I’ve always kind of hated him.
His photo on his stat line makes him look like the bassist for a crappy 70’s band.
Kittle = Built like Metcalf and catches like Lockett. We need a couple of players like him on the team.
If only DK could be that. Athletic freak of nature who could almost be unstopable
I would much rather have an offensive line that is mid-tier league wide. no time to pass, can’t run the ball
Didn’t get the best look but was Reed being held on that Kittle TD
DJ Reed held
Open and obvious
Amazing play by Kittle. Sad play by Wagner who used to make that kind of tackle routinely.
Who was it here that said just keep throwing the ball the kittle?
Okay last series before the half. Lets call a fake punt!
Not to be redundant, but we have no timeouts now.
that doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t call one, tho.
So a mismanagement of 3 TOs leaves us with nothing at the end of the half
As we attack the middle of the field with 5 yard throws lol
Timeouts like draft picks are only important if you think they are
Who the hell is Dee Skridege?
You, yeah. Now I remember.
D. Eskridge.
Just a leetle high by Wilson on that throw to DK
Whooo Hoooo!!
That’ll do rookie. That’ll do.
well, credit where it’s due…nice drive. good to see Russ getting the ball out of his hands quickly, and not just out to the sidelines.
This has the feel of a crazy game….
Must be Geno time
Almost spit out my drink on that!!
I can’t believe we scored. But it’s in the Hawks playbook. Wait till the very end of the half or the game, and then play offense like it matters.
If we could play our two min offense all the time that would be great.
And get helped out by bonehead 15yd penalties.
30 yards in penalties sure did help 🙂 haha
Good to see them finish the half strong. Even if half the yardage was from ruffing the passer calls. Nice TD throw to the rookie, we been without our top draft pick for too long this year.
Now all we need is for one player out of 11 to stop george kittle and this might be winnable.
121 out of 157 yards and half of the catches for the niners. What’s belichick always banging on about, take away the best player. This game anywats the niners 6-5 record seems as weak as our 3-8 record.
putting peacock on coverage isn’t laughable anymore. It’s disgusting
Ryan Neal on Kittle would be the better idea, I think.
100% it is a better idea
Trying to stay optimistic but i just wat that guy gone cap hit or otherwise.
That first half was entertaining in the sloppy play. These two teams were meant for each other.
so true….
We have to post the log of our first 5 offensive possessions. That was epically bad.
This effing Jackson Pollack game.
Our special teams are really, really…special
Great 3rd down slant pass to DK. More of that please.
Came here to ask why they can’t run that more often
I guess we’re a west coast offense now
Somehow that has to be Wilson’s fault right?
OH EFF ME!
Everett = you got to make that catch. Wilson has been playing decent today, lots of catchable passes.
Sooooo, maybe bench Everett and play Parkinson now?
Yikes.
wtf
Unreal
Seriously what else can go wrong
Sigh.
Time to bench Everett? Fumble and cost us a TD on a perfect throw and easy catch for a TD….
what a bizarro game this is…
Remember when Everett was on the Rams a couple years ago and dropped whiffed the pass, knocking it to Diggs. That was oddly familiar
Wilson had to have thrown that too hard right?
We actually looked like a real offense there for a while. Because of that play we will probably start just throwing bombs now.
Who the hell is Carlos Dunlap?
YES! Dunlap too!
Guess we can’t have anything nice. Also everett can go next year as well. Pointless signing
Waste of cash just like Greg Olsen
What an insane game.
This is one exciting game I’ll say that
Hell yeah Dunlap!
This game is existing in some warped parallel universe.
i know….am kind of starting to enjoy myself…
this is already the craziest game of the year…and there’s 10 mins left in the 3rd
Btw, Curhan >> > Fuller
his heads-up tackle on the INT, saved a ton of yards, and kinda led to the safety
This is such a classic Hawks-Niners game.
Carzy, up and down, anything and everything happening.
Love it.
Russ starting to look like Russ
Penny with a Freddie Jackson block!
Honestly that was the best play of his career
Jackson chipping JJ Watts thigh is pure cinematic gold.
The bruise Watt showed off the next day was gruesome.
Tyler Lockett is our MVP this year. Is there any debate on this?
Not from me
OMG Penny just made a sack saving block!
We are officially in the Twilight Zone
Fantastic block but now hurt
He got hit in the head.
Hopefully not hurt
Just seeing Eskridge out there contributing is a refreshing change. and Penny too.
Had Norman beat. Throw got away from Russ.
yep – had him
terrible pass pro on that 3rd down, Curhan just toasted.
Bosa wasn’t offsides?
Didnt Bosa jump there?
Has anybody ever noticed that when RW frantically changes the play at the last second at the line of scrimmage that it’s almost always to a run up the middle?
Yes
Thank you. I thought it was just me.
I wonder if any of the teams we play have figured that out, too?🤔
Naaaaw.
Win or lose, I have been entertained.
It’s been soooo long.
Well said
It’s been an interesting game!
this game just keeps giving and giving….. 🙂
Offensive line needs to be a priority next year!
to me, it’s the top priority full-stop
Dunlap gets sack for safety. Next drive: put in Green.
I don’t get it.
Right? I don’t know what’s been going on with Dunlap all season
Nice play by Mone all the way out to the sideline
I like Mone. Keep him
agree – he’s turned himself into an nfl player.
Diggs is a pick machine.
And still no extension.
Inexcusable.
So, if Adams is worth 17 million/year…hiw much is Diggs worrh?
34 million
I’d rather have Diggs at 34, plus two 1st round draft picks, than Adams at 17
Praise the Lord for Jimmy G.
Ummm, how about a slant over the middle Russ?
Russ is officially back to normal if he has his Vulcan mind-meld back with Lockett.
Now we are cooking! Good play.
McLovin it!
V12, all he does….
Miss V12
Nobody drops the football right into the receiver’s breadbasket like Wilson
enjoying the moment. what a strange team and game…. Niners just bring it out in us I guess.
nice to see the offense looking quick and decisive, and a good looking TD throw.
fun to see the crowd back into it too.
You want a soggy 49er defense with that??
This is the most entertained I’ve been all year (prior to opening day in Indy)
Ya…#3 ain’t going anywhere.
It’s funny when Russ is decisive and gets the ball out of his hands our offense gets in a ryrhym and looks good
Nobody in the NFL adjusts to the ball on flight like Tyler
As a Rus critic the last year…this is vintage Rus, good accuracy, getting the ball out quick and with accuracy (mostly), not a surprise it comes as a result of our running game being better as well. Probably a combo of better running game / his finger is better / WR+TE getting open. Only that egregious Everett play is an INT but that isn’t on Wilson at all.
This is the best I’ve seen Wilson play in a years time.
Agreed, by far his best performance. He has carried the offense today, and put balls in spots where his guys can win. Actually enjoyable to watch him play, and surprise we are actually converting 3rd downs! It’s like a different team today.
He’s had better pass pro overall too. Not great, but better.
Curhan is still really raw but he’s clearly better than Fuller.
yeah, the running game has always been so damned important for the team’s and RW’s success. I wonder if we’ve underplayed the significance of Carson not being around.
Pay Diggs.
Amen
Problem is, Diggs can show his.play and stats are better than Adam’s.
He’s not going to give us any discounts.
jimmy missed a wide open 81, not sure if it was Diggs guy or not, it would’ve went for a td
Jordan Brooks really hits. So does Diggs.
Fumble!
Mmmm, knee down sadly
D’oh!
Stupid refs
It looked like a tie to me. Need a closer look.
God almighty this is such a Hawks-Niners game!
Looked more like a dirty hit to the head from Taylor on that quick replay.
Does tie go to the fumble? That’s what it looked like to me on first glance.
we can’t decline that penalty?
Technically, the ay never happened.
Pre-snap.
Hmm that late snap screwed the Seahawks. Almost like the ref waited to see how the 49ers play would occur before throwing the flag.
Refs are too honorable to ever do such a thing!😲
I want a Will Dissly seam route right now. The Niners are hurting at LB.
Pre-snap penalty
I thought Penny’s best runs came running on the edges. So why the heck does he run up the middle into his own OL’s backside every run?
We HAVE to effing score now. We have to take control of the game while we have the chance.
Brown looks sooo old.
Anoterh quick hit to the middle of the field. Good job.
I didn’t even realize Adams was out
With a shoulder injury Adams is probably out for the rest of the season. Don’t cry !!!
Let’s not become NFC East-type of fans.
I did: there’s nobody getting beat in coverage and then jumping around clapping and pointing at other DBs…
When Russ holds the ball bad things happen
O-line coming up small again, right when we need them to step up
We like close hear attack games too much. Therefore we have to punt rather than go down the field for a game controlling score.
Adams has a shoulder injury, huh?
I wonder if it’s the same one he hurt last year?
Shoulders can be chronic.😬
#33 is out, who cares.
Start rolling the pocket.
Russ can’t take much more.
i know. And one thing you could just never ever question about Russ….his ability to take a punch. he’s been a tough player his whole career.
Dickson is so money
Can we just watch our ST all game, please!
We need Jimmy G to do his Jimmy G thing now more than ever.
Could you imagine Dickson with the l.o.b it would have been a huge advantage
Jon Ryan was pretty darn good!
Not a reception
yES HE dropped it when he hit the ground.
That’s an incompletion IMO
You have to complete the catch, right? If so, no go.
I hate how that Everett drop counts as an INT for the QB
that’s a successful challenge for Pete Carroll. alert the media.
I loathed Jim Harbaugh when he was the 49ers HC. But I freaking love him as Michigan’s HC.
What’s up with that?
man, was thinking the same thing. If the hawks fire Carrol, would it be worth a run at Harbaugh as head coach?
Who the hell is Rashaad Penny?
Bailed out! Now make something of it.
I say again, who the hell is Rashaad Penny?
He’s a blind squirrel. Enjoy him until he hurts his paw again.
+1! Comment of the Year!
yee Haw, Penny’s best run of the season!
that’s where Penny teases us….he’s got playmaking ability, no doubt
Harlan makes this game so much better!
Love Kevin Harlan as a commentator.
A success screen pass?? TO PENNY?? What planet is this!
Great play, but if he got tackled running laterally along the first down marker I’d be livid!
Best play by Penny in two years.
patchwork line out there now man…first look at Forsythe. big dude.
The saddest thing about penny is we know he can make great plays but they come far and in between… definitely not a starter but if he stayed healthy and we has a decent line he would be a good spark for an offense
Please don’t go conservative, Pete.
Please.
I’m gonna faint.
They put Homer in????? Are they going to fake the punt again?
That’s the Penny we all hoped for. lol
Great call to go for it! Now get the TD!
Why couldn’t the offense play like this all the other weeks man…
i know
just enjoying the ride today…. 3-8 gives you a certain freedom from the normal stress, I’m noticing.
Yup, gotta enjoy this for what it is. This has been an entirely different team today.
I’m glad Homer picked up the first. But why is he the one to try the conversion?
Shoulda kept Homer in.
Yikes Everett has had a terrible game
wtf Everett
give me a break….everett having the worst game a TE has ever had
OMG = The CArdiac Hawks in action —– Everetttt you messed up again.
Hahahahahaha.
Everett. Had to be Everett.
Way to get conservative and cute Pete.
Idiocy.
that wasn’t a terrible call. a FG probably ices the game. unreal that Everett coughed it up after having two turnovers today….you’d think he’d be focused on the ONE thing he couldn’t do again.
Getting cute after calling two conservative runs by a 36 year old RB is not a good call, to me.
Utilizing your QB’s arm is. The arm that got you down the field in the first place.
Fucking pathetic. 2 fumbles and a dropped TD for an interception. Unreal
J F C
Everett single-handedly giving the game away.
Cut Everett holy shit
Everett with his THIRD costly turnover! WOW! Time for the D to step up to bail him out.
Why a timeout here? Why?
They just can’t effing make things easy. They just can’t.
How many touches does Everett have today?
Is Parkinson a scratch, cuz I still don’t know why Everett is still playing?
Inexcusable blown coverage by Neal
We need a 3rd Jimmy G moment
You had ONE job…don’t fumble.
It could be 1st and 20 every fresh set of downs and I still wouldn’t have confidence in this defense
Jimmy G has too much time back in the pocket.
Major miscommunication between Jones and Amadi
Seahawks defense giving up chunk plays on this drive
I still can’t get over it. The only thing we couldn’t do there near the goal line was fumble the ball.
Rarely in the game of football can you put all the blame on one person, but today’s game by Gerald is an exception
My goodness.
The refs are doing their job.
What a nice feeling.
Giving the ball to Peterson twice from the three yard line just to get him the td record was totally stupid. I knew it was coming when they took Homer out. You would think winning the game would be more important. Priorities I guess if you are PC.
all they really needed was a FG.
Not as stupid as using your tight end as a running back. At least Peterson held onto the ball.
They just couldn’t fumble the ball.
Not as dumb as throwing a slant at the 1 yard line… still hurts to this day 😵
OK kids.
HERE WE GO!
Such a classic game.
smdh
well this sucks…. they’re probably gonna find Kittle for a TD now.
and no time left.
If I’m the 9ers and I score I’m going for 2 and the win. Why wouldn’t they have the confidence to score on this D
Okay. How can we eff this up?
AHHH the tension builds!!!!
OK – f-ing cover Kittle here!!
Hot Damn – Go Hawks!!!! Go Dunlap!!
how sweeeeet it is!!!!!
YES!
Such a great game.
It had it all.
Thank you Seahawks. This was a much needed pick-me-up.
got to hand it to Dunlap…he does have the clutch gene
We actually pulled it off! What a disaster and fun game to watch lol
Got to be top 10 in game wins. What a crazy and satisfying game.
I’m inexplicably happy
I may not like this season and where the team is headed, but I do love this franchise.
Especially when they do this to the Niners.
What a game!
Well, at least some excitement and a win like the old days. Even better to do it vs. the Niners.
Offense still sputtered. PC still needs to go. But that was fun.
What a fun game! Yeah Seahawks!!!!
I love games like this. Damn everitt though. He tried to kill us!
It’s always great to beat the 9ers.
welp, I guess this is the highlight of the season, move over double-punt!
Rasheed Green’s 2-pointer would like a word.
that was an awesome play, but to sweep the 9ers during your worst season in over a decade….!
Everett got bailed out in a major way today.
Seahawks playoff scenarios? Haha seriously though, much needed. Can’t stand watching this era end in any other way.
in good news…Russ looked pretty sharp today. can’t blame him for the plays where the O-line just caved in around him. and he should’ve had 3 TD’s and 0 picks.
And people have been writing him off as burnt toast
Doesn’t mean he’s isn’t. Just slathered him in enough peanut butter to mask it.
Hes far from burnt toast
We can’t forget that our offense was HIDEOUSLY bad the first five possessions. It just went from night to day later in the 2nd quarter.
Goodnight Everyone.
That was some fun stuff.
Comment with you later and tomorrow.
Loved seeing D’ Eskridge in the game tonight!
i think the lesson for me is that even in a crap season, w a broken team….I can still have a lot of fun watching Seahawks football on Sunday.
Ditto. Beating a rival at home in an excitingly close game is still pleasurable, in spite of how mind-bogglingly strange and sloppy of a game it was.
Felt familiar. Very welcome win.
I would love to see Michael Dickson punt in these conditions in Buffalo.
