SEATTLE, Wa. — This is the live blog for the third quarter of the 49ers’ Week 15 game against the Seahawks. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
3:01 Paul Richardson takes a knee in the end zone.
3:02 Frank Gore is out with a concussion. Chris Borland and Garrett Celek are questionable with ankle injuries.
3:03 Borland is back.
3:05 Now he’s out again.
3:05 Ricardo Lockette is flagged for an illegal shift on third-and-1. Dontae Johnson breaks up a deep pass intended for Luke Willson on third-and-6. Aldon Smith had a free shot on the quarterback and missed.
3:06 The Seahawks’ down the punt at the Niners’ 4-yard line.
3:07 Seahawks’ left tackle Russell Okung is questionable with a chest injury.
3:17 The Internet is down in the press box. I will update this as soon as they fix the Internet.
3:23 I’m back.
3:26 Marshawn Lynch walks through the middle of the 49ers’ defense for a 4-yard TD run. 10-7 Seahawks. Robert Turbin gained 8 yards up the middle the previous play. 10 plays, 7 runs, 3 passes, 60 yards.
3:29 The Seahawks tackle Ellington at the Niners’ 18 on the kick return.
3:32 This drive is a defining moment in the Niners’ season.
3:33 Carlos Hyde gets tackled for no gain on first down. He limps off the field.
3:35 Jordan Hill sacks Kaepernick for a loss of 8 on third-and-10 from the Niners’ 18. Kaepernick missed a wide open Boldin the play before. Kaepernick threw the ball over his head.
3:36 Bryan Walters returns the punt 19 yards to the Niners’ 44. Michael Wilhoite is down.
3:41 Russell Wilson gains 19 yards on a read-option run, and the third quarter ends. Perrish Cox followed his receiver down the field and never saw Wilson running right to him.
Keep the intensity up
we can not play in seattle without racking up injuries
Good play rookie!
It looks like moody is I’m for borland
Boreland is back bout he’s hobbling. We need to stop the run bad.
Come on aldon
Gootamfair catch that rookie. Or catch it and run. We are playing to win, not, not to lose son. Be aggressive!
Sadly, it was Wilson that knocked Borland down and potentially out. He is going to get ridiculed in the meeting for that.
Wilson is very powerful from the hips on down – that lower body strength means you gotta hit him square, which is tough with his ability to move as well. Aldon has missed on a couple of easy ones. c’mon Niner coaches, you gotta teach these guys
Give the ball to Hyde and lets go. Your turn to shine.
dude how can u freaking miss that sack….
Even without Frank we need to keep trying yo run the ball.
Time for Hyde to make a name
Backed up again. Continue to run but throw in a roll out or play action. A play action bomb would be ideal here. You know Seattle will be expecting a run on first down
Do we have anybody active to backup Hyde?
VD?
Probably Miller.
Here’s your chance to make a name for yourself HYde!
Big play right there.
Nice of you to show up Crabs.
Why couldn’t we do this against the Raiders?
That’s a catch!
Crazy tight throw
Knees down, ball never touches the turf….I hope they get this right
Seattle bites so badly on Kaeps throwing motion. Pump fake son…
It’s too long of a motion to pump fake. I’m sure he feels like he doesn’t have enough time in the pocket for that. He thinks he doesn’t, we know he doesnt. I just wish he would start throwing the damn ball away.
That’s coming back.
We just can’t defeat the flags! Rookies are killing us!
Here we go with the 2 yard passes again! Damn.
come on D.. stop the run
Hyde looks good enough to me that the RB position isn’t one of tremendous need in the offseason. Obviously, at some point, we’d like to pick up a good complimentary speed guy.
Like Hunter?
I like Hunter ok. But if we’re going with an injury-risk guy, I might prefer taking a swing with CJ Spiller.
We cannot stop the blitz
Damn, looked like crab was open but the pressure killed the play. Hopefully our defense can hold on. Come on niners
Did you see the commentators. Kap called the right protection but Miller didn’t keep Wagner out long enough and Kap didn’t get the ball out fast enough.
Why does #7 not read the blitz and throw the slant pass that he always almost gets intercepted? Throw the slant and stop taking all these damn sacks #7!
? Wagner was on top of him as soon as it was snapped. thats not on #7
Ellington needs to be our blitz beater. The holding call killed that drive.
#7 really really sucks……there was a player he could have thrown the ball to on that play…….why can’t he just stand in and take it like a man….
sure there was, Wagner
You’d complain either way when he gets hit fumbles or throw and INT too saying why didn’t he take the sack
Any time it is 3rd and long you can basically write the script before the snap. Blitz, sack.
Need a three and out.
I doubt that will happen what with the way the defense is tackling now.
I Boreland is out of this game. We need Moody to step up.
Amazing how well we are doing with the linebackers we have on the field.
Manning looks like he throws a noodle everytime he passes
Holding!!!!!! Wtf……no call????
crazy — they have 2 first downs inside the 15
Hang on defense.
Huge hold on the Lynch run
No O holding on that play?
Come on Dddddddddddddd!!!!!!
23J – D needs a rest……. eed a long 80 yd drive lead by #7.
If the defense would stop trying to tackle people around their shoulders they would be off the field.
Damn!!
Dial is clogging it up!
We have to start taking out Lynch’s legs and wrapping him them up. We suck at tackling
Tackling growing feeble.
You can not tackle these guys around their shoulders
Yep, tackling too high.
PISS POOR TACKLING THAT ENTIRE DRIVE. Watch our offense NEGLECT the run. SMH
Linebacker play killing us
We lost Boreland, Seattle went right to the run. His replacement is invisible. We need something from the offense.
We just have too many damn injuries. Just too many. We are deep for sure bot no team in the NFL can go three deep at linebacker and get the job done.
You sure? Or is it the O?
somebody tell Ellington that he shouldnt do that anymore
He makes very poor decisions on kickoffs.
If you want to tackle these guys you need to mean it, and you need to wrap up. Poor tackling form cost them on that drive.
That was terrible. They just ran it down like nothing. If we can’t get something going here. I feel we will lose this one. We need #7 to make the correct throws and hyde to beast it up.
That’s if they give HYDE the ball. I doubt it.
Will 49ers do anything to counter Seattle pressure? Screen/draw type plays would seem to be in order.
Bethea. That was just pathetic.
Hyde needs to be more patient.
That looked bad…
Oh Boy this is not good.
Unreal!
They have been. Poorly timed penalties killing us.
Wow Kaep
Kaepernick simply isn’t an efficient NFL QB
CK how could you miss that
gotta make that throw, plain and simple
Come on kap
Wtf. wide open.
Dang it Kaep.
It doesn’t matter how long Kaep has to throw if he just keeps missing wide open targets.
Deer in headlights
#7 is washed up.
Queue a CfC comment… That one really was a bad throw.
And no surprise, 3rd and long, blitz/sack.
Pathetic
And another sack.
Wow…..
Last 2 plays encapsulate the end of the Harbaugh era. Now Seattle takes it and runs it down the Niners throat. Next year.
Defense will have to come up with at least one turnover
How many more players will we lose?
Running back Smith has 4.3 speed. Try him in flats.
Why isn’t Ellington in the offensive play calling?
Why does 3 and long always end in a sack? Buy some time with your legs,Come On
It’s called slow getting the play call in, it’s 3rd and long, and they know when the ball will be snapped. Just pin their ears back and fly up field.
How does Kaepernick miss that throw?
Another injured player, another complete loss of composure by Kaep. Throw the GD ball to Boldin’s hands.
Time to run blitz
We can’t stop their run game. We need to force a fumble.
Who is most injury prone team in professional team sports?……Yep
Zone blitz….
Our D is starting to look gassed.
I walked away but didn’t Seattle use their 2nd timeout?
Then whoever the DE was just collapsed down. No discipline. SMH. He comes the collapse.
We can say this game is over.
Our defense plays entirely too high.
6 yards on offense is not getting it done
Put Vernon Davis in at inside linebacker! LOL
He wouldn’t tackle a soul
KY,
Not a single soul bro!
Greg roman has to GO!!!!!
Refs…..
Hochuli just created a new rule. “Helmet to the chest.” Not crown of the helmet. Just helmet period. What a jackarse.
Can’t beat the Hawks and the refs! Damn.
On the refs…..
Let’s see what your hero can do now
Wilhoite is hot garbage!
Why the hell is Reid standing in the end zone to cover that guy?
Offense needs to help the d. F the refs. I’m tired of one sided calls up in Seattle.
What’s up with Montana wearing blue?
Reid–as Grant correctly pointed out earlier in the blog–has not played well this year. Despite the gift from Wilson at the end of the half.
Ellington is an idiot!!
Funny, so many young players out there it looks like preseason!
No one wants to make a play…..
Someone has to be open down field
That’s game…
Kaepernick sucks
End of Harbaugh era
Hopefully CK too!
Brilliant call. Hey, it worked on the last 4th and 1, why not try it again. Who cares if the entire D knows it’s coming.
I asked the question all year who has Kaepernick made better? Jack Hammer replied Bruce Miller. Well Jack, today that was true. Unfortunately full backs don’t make much of a difference in winning games.
Wow, Kap is just game-stupid. Throwing out of bounds on 4th down? At least throw it up and hope for a P.I., some luck, or…something! But throwing out of bounds ensures you will get NOTHING. Smh.
Greg Roman has TO GOOOOO!!!!! And JH if it comes to it my son high school played better than this let J Gruden come and do this!!!!!!
Goodbye Jim, Greg, and (hopefully) Colin.
Greg Roman has TO GOOOOO!!!!! And JH if it comes to it my son high school played better than this let J Gruden come and do this!!!!!!
I love the NINERS but some changes need to be done and the refs just not helping they are just f&@$- wanting the game to be over
