Russell Wilson’s dogs not impressed by his picks vs. 49ers
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (16) catches a touchdown pass in front of San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock (26) during the first half of an NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Thursday, Oc… The 49ers were 1-for-11 on third downs, and that just killed their chances of scoring, through the game. That’s not good and Colin proved why he’s rated so low during the October 22 match against the Seahawks.
Lynch ran for 122 yards as Seattle won its first road game in four tries, avoiding another fourth-quarter collapse. The 49ers simply are the Seahawks’ punching bag now.
It was after last year’s Thanksgiving meltdown against these same Seahawks that 49ers CEO Jed York tweeted out an apology to the fans, saying the nature of the loss “wasn’t acceptable”.
Menacing defender Michael Bennett has a new motto for these inconsistent Seattle Seahawks: Keep chopping wood. You might just get blasted in the face by an errant Kaepernick toss.
“Just because we had lost a couple tough games wasn’t the reason to jump ship”.
“I don’t even want to talk about it”, Carroll said.
This game lacked its usual intrigue with both teams trying to save their seasons and Carroll missing former nemesis and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
“Unacceptable…that was sorry”, wideout Torrey Smith posted on Twitter. “We obviously can’t operate without protection”, Tomsula said following Thursday’s defeat that saw Kaepernick sacked six times.
Kaepernick was expected to be the team’s long-time franchise player when he became starting quarterback during the 2012 season.
Against a struggling Kaepernick, the Seahawks allowed just two plays of 20 yards or longer – two 27-yard pass plays that somewhat oddly came on consecutive snaps in the third quarter.
Tomsula is doing the best he can with what he’s got and that’s not a lot. “Colin Kaepernick is many things, but one of those things is not a competent quarterback”, writes Foss.
The Seahawks had been outscored 40-3 in the fourth quarter and overtime over their previous three games, blowing a 23-14 lead in the final 12 minutes Sunday against Carolina. “That’s the way we’re supposed to finish these games”, Carroll said. “I don’t make a big deal about it. That’s the way we should be playing”.
“That game is not anything that any of us is proud of”, Jim Tomsula told the media on Friday.
Avril had 1.5 of the Seahawks’ six sacks, which were the most since they had that same number against Kaepernick and the 49ers last December at CenturyLink Field.
“With our medical staff, we’re not going to put anybody in danger”, Tomsula said.
“I know that. We all know that”. The hills are big in San Francisco, but the peaks and valleys are even bigger for the city’s quarterback.
The Seahawks outgained the 49ers 388-142 in total yards, outgained them 176-61 on the ground and established a tone of domination with a 61-yard, 12-play drive for a touchdown the first time they had the ball.
The NFL extended its agreement with Wembley Stadium for another five years, meaning the league will play at least two regular-season games a year at the London venue through 2020.
