Wow.
I'm spent.
I can only see this from SFs vantage point so me not pointing out Seahawks players being hurt or bad calls, etc, it's not because I don't acknowledge. I'm just too annoyed to talk about more than a few of them right now.
From SF viewpoint tho....
1) Losing Kittle was HUGE. Run game stuffed all night and Jimmy needed him out there running patterns.
2) Losing Kittle was compounded by losing Sanders. Jimmy didn't trust anyone...and with good reason. I counted 7 or 8 drops, plus admittedly 2 more by the Seahawks. There was a time tonight that I straight up wanted to cut Kendrick Bourne on the spot. The INT hit both of his hands. Not only does he drop it, he tips it up to give Seattle field position for a TD. His second drop would have given the 49ers 1st and goal.
I love Samuel, but MAN...he had bad drops. So did Goodwin. When they were down both Kittle and Sanders...my god...it was bad.
3) Joe Staley was either really rusty, simply sucks now, or Clowney is a world beater. Gotta think its a mix of all three. He wasn't ready to play tonight. McGlinchey wasn't much better.
4) The "In the grasp" was really bad. I thought the Seahawks got shafted on that one....but I also think Mostert got the first down in overtime.
Honestly...so many guys got hurt, I'm just hoping this doesn't carry into next week.
Great game guys. It stings, but Niners had SEVERAL chances to win it and simply didn't. Enjoy it.
