Any non-highlight-reel favorite plays from last night's 41-6 domination of the 49ers? I have two:
First, this one is nice because it demonstrates how panicky and under duress 49ers offense often was, thanks to Seahawks' fearsome Dark Side. Still in the first quarter, Purdy hands off to Juszczyk. Finding no room, he tries to dump off to McCaffery, who's mentally overloaded and can't handle it, resulting in a turnover on downs. Check out the number of guys in blue in the below screen shot, all within 10 yards of Juszczyk and McCaffery. (Vid available in glenwo2's "Luke" thread OP, scrubber at 1:03.) There are freaking nine, all right there! No wonder the 49ers were panicky and couldn't pull this play off, and many others. I think the score would have been even more lopsided had Purdy not been so ridiculously mobile and elusive.
And second, no screenshot or vid for this one, but I loved what I saw when K9 encountered resistance near or behind the line of scrimmage in the middle. Several reinforcements arrived almost immediately to physically propel him forward, resulting in a gain of about 3x the distance it otherwise would have. These guys truly are all about the team.
