Well, the Seahawks defense played just as poorly as they did a few weeks ago. The offense was totally pathetic too. Seneca Wallace handed this game to the 49ers in a nice box with pretty wrapping paper and a bow.
There were a few good moments. Shaun Alexander started out pretty lack-luster but improved in the third quarter. The story of the game though was four turnovers by the Seahawks, all of which translated into points scored against the Seahawks. [Correction: All but the last one]
That coupled with phenomenal rushing by Frank Gore turned into an upset defeat for the Seahawks that proves that you can't play poorly and hope to get by on luck every week.
If I had to choose an MVP it would be Frank Gore for his 200+ rushing yards. His only real mistake came in the fourth quarter when he fumpled the ball, but grace was with him as Seneca Wallace threw his third interception of the day on the very next play.
I mean, come on, there wasn't a Seahawk within 5 yards of that ball. Just when the Seahawks look like a little luck is going there way Seneca Wallace pulled out the wrapping paper and tied the present up with a nice little bow.
The Seahawks deserved to lose this game the way they played. With this game San Francisco has snapped the Seahawks 10 game streak in the west and broken their 6 game streak vs. the 49ers.
The Seahawks fall to 6 - 4 and the 49ers improve to 5 - 5. The 49ers are now in sole possession of second place in the NFC West. The Seahawks and 49ers meet again on Qwest Field on December 14th, at 5:00 PM PST.
Next Monday the Seahawks play Green Bay on Qwest Field at 5:30 PM PST. Maybe they'll have their act together this time.
