They blow period!! Told ya.ll when they can’t put up massive points on offense that D would get em killed. I hate always being right. Bad news bears with a winning record
Bought premium tickets for this game. First Niners game on my B day and they play like this…
Awful
So I guess we're going to see another Super Bowl run where the defense wins everything, and wins it all… yeah I know defense wins championships, but let's go ahead and make the entire d-line the MVP's already…. I won't be accepting any invitations from friends to watch the Super Bowl this year, and I've already gotten plenty of invitations….
I feel like Grant can’t wait to crap on the 49ers. Today’s game was no good, no doubt. But the fact that we kept Seattle to 13 points and our offense played like dookie gives me a little hope. I trust that Kyle can dial it up when we need it in the playoffs.
Whiners not winners
Your a sell out im done following you
The Hawks are clearly the better team, hands down. The defense is legit. Embarrassing loss for the 49ers, especially with all the hype.
Our defense actually played well go figure
NOBODY WHINES AS GOOD AS 49ER FANS-I LOVE WATCHING THEM AFTER A LOSS!! IT WAS THE REFS FAULT !!– ITWAS THE QBs FAULT!! — – FIRE THE COACH!!!
We're never going to see two tight end sets with Kitlle and Tonges. All because Kyle can't let go of his favorite fullback from the cabo crew.
Games are won and lost at the LOS – and tonight we lost on both sides of the ball. Trent would have helped, but doubt that would have made a significant difference for the O.
The defense really felt the loss of Bosa, Warner, and Williams tonight. They spanked us with their running game. And what did Aikman say about Seattle'spass protection? Sam's sitting in the pocket having a sandwich – or something like that – while Brock's doing his best pinball impersonation around the backfield.
Disgusting
F ALL AROUND
Oh yeah 49ers fans who u blame now Shannhan purdy u all kissing there ass when u won all da games like purdy is great please u want macky Jones so u all get caught up hype lol 😂no mahomes chiefs to stop u oh rams or eagles it Seahawks turn now again like 2013 lol 😂
Seahawks love their QB. Stop the idiotic narrative.
You guys are idiots calling for Kyle's job. Dude has no good wr, best LT in the sport on the sideline, missing multiple starters on defense, all against the best team in the nfl. We were down 4 D starters and 3 O starters by the time this game was over. We played a good, healthy team and lost by 10.
The difference is health Grant….I know it's not an excuse but it's definitely a factor….🤷🏾♂️
Kyle kept playing bunch formations causing chaos in the middle with slow receivers never creating separation, especially with a QB who can’t see over his line.
Who lost the SB kyle and CMc with his fumble. Who lost us this game Kyle and his shitty play calling and cmcs whoops i cant catch. Same old shit.just a different day. Seattle dropped back damn near every play in the same defense all game. Twice on 3rd and 2 kyle is throwing it non stop. Refused to boumce outside or anything he ran to the left up the gaurds ass every time never even tried anything different. He was getting purdy drilled with his shitty play calling. Go figure. Who would of thought kyle would choke on a big stage again even after seattle gave kyle 3 quarters to do something. Kyle a piece of shit
I hate this guy so much, he’s not a fan he hates the niners why the hell does he have a reporter pass
Imagine if we had a pass rusher…. Woah
Defense was good offense sucked.
Its the uniform – I'm telling you – its cool and all – but I felt I was literally watching the XFL not feeling the true NFL with the 49ers.
Brick 💩 Turdy getting paid $53 million on the last year of his rookie minimum and performing with a 64 QBR in his biggest regular season game of his career, after missing 8 games this year???
The Seattle Seahawks are a hell of a football team. You heard it.
Played so sloppy, and yet it didn’t even rain 🚫🌧️
Blame your whole team seattle couldve made this a blowout if the coaching wouldve take the points on 4th and made 2 missed FG
This felt like an epic choke from Kyle.
Win lose or tie grant cohn is always salty 🧂 👨
That defense is suffocating
You seem bitter.
Brock is good not elite, people who know football have been saying this all along. To beat the better teams Brock needs a elite team around him.
Kyle got out-schemed. Plain and simple. Saleh’s defense held their own. If they told us the Seahawks were only scoring 13 before this game started, we all would’ve bet an easy victory.
Defense gave up big plays but they ultimately did their job and held them to one TD. The Rams defense gave up 38 points to them so that tells how good Niners defense did their job today. Our offense needed to step up and score but the receivers were locked up and Purdy was pressured all game.
Call out Ricky for being SOFT grant bc he is period.
This is why the Niners will never win a SB under Bananahan he chokes in big games and doesn’t make adjustments when he needs to he got outcoached again by a guy who is 38 years old what a 🤡 Kyle is
Been telling 9er fans all week to keep it in their pants. 9ers played a weak schedule. This record is fools gold. Go down the list of teams they beat. Not cou ti g the luck against the Rams in their 1st meeting.
Purdy does what he does best, throw 4th Q picks to lose games.
3 points at home in a game this important? SEASON OVER!
Seahawks looked legit Niners looked like wannabes
Losing 3 All Pro players (almost 5) for this game, affects the game, especially at this level, at this time. That is the FACT of the matter. Seattle healthy is better than San Fran injured. Simple as that.
