BOOOOOOM!!!!

That's a start.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Our special teams is a disaster. Jay Harbaugh was an awful hire.

His new team would gladly send that bum Schneider back to you guys for Harbaugh in a swap.

They had a good special teams coach in Larry Izzo. But they let him go when they fired Carroll. He's now the ST coordinator for the Commanders. Letting him go was a huge mistake.

Honestly, Geno played like crap tonight. I can't defend him. Those turnovers we're costly.

Told you Seahawks were mediocre, they got undue hope because of weak early schedule.

Niners might win the division with 9-8

No doubt, I have no idea how Schneider kept his job after last year and he sucks even more this year, there's a breakdown in coverage virtually every game.

First int he may have forced because the rookie safety arrived as the ball did. But 49ers were playing at least 2 rookies in the secondary so not surprised if the gameplan was to test it. It was to Metcalf so they’re suppose to feed their #1 weapon.

Second int, he led Metcalf towards the sideline while CK expected the ball to be thrown downfield. Don’t know if there were other DBs downfield so maybe Geno expected CK to flatten his route. Could be either QB or WR’s fault.

Hawks didn’t have a strong running game so not sure how many times they tried play action. With 52 pass attempts and being behind all game, probably not too many times.

Bosa didn’t get a lot of sacks but he got good pressure most of the game.

For playing an inexperienced secondary, 49ers didn’t give up too many easy looks to Hawks WRs. They played up at the line of scrimmage a lot too but they got enough pressure that Geno wasn’t comfortable, throwing off the back foot a couple of times.

Both picks we're poor decisions by Geno. The first one was an overthrow to Lockett that sailed over his head. The 2nd pick he was late with the throw. Metcalf was open & had inside leverage vs. the CB. But the timing was off because the ball was delivered late.

Geno played his worst game of the season so far. He seemed to be off for a good chunk of that game. He wasn't good enough plain & simple.

The weakness of the team is the right side of the offensive line. You have a backup Right Tackle (3rd string) & two guys splitting reps at Right Guard. Not ideal.

Bosa was facing Stone Forsythe (Backup Tackle) for most of that game. Bosa should win that battle.

Defensively? The Hawks have struggled to stop the run consistently. Some of it due to injury & a lack of depth at the position. But the Linebacker play in general has been poor.

Both teams have struggled to run the ball consistently, as well as stop the run. If you let a team like SF run all over you, then you have no chance.

Neither team has been balanced as far as run/pass. Geno leads the league in passing attempts. Both him & Dak are #1 & #2 in passing yardage this season due to that unbalance.

Actually Mason is the leading rusher in the NFL, after playing just one half last night, though that will probably change when Henry and the Ravens play.

Seattle Seahawks are quite possibly in a serious predicament. We shall see in a few weeks. They might be figuring out what Pete Carroll, Robert Saleh and Bellichek already know. Your QB can get you fired

That second pick shows how hard it is to play QB - guy looked open with leverage but one small push from the defender and suddenly he’s running the route.

So here is my prediction for the Cowboys vs Lions. Everything about this game says the Cowboys should get smoked. Cowboys can’t stop the run (need more than a 2 game sample) and the Lions are one of the best if not the best running team in the league. Also the Cowboys have been pretty bad at home lately.

With all that said I’m picking the Cowboys to win. They are simply going to do what they always do. They will look good during the regular season, build up the fan bases hopes and then **** the bed once the playoffs start. This will be a signature win for them. A game they can look back at and point to and say “see we are good”. False hopes.
