49ers 19, Seahawks 17: San Francisco Has Strong Second Half To Pick Up Win

The San Francisco 49ers were pushed around and beat up an awful lot. With a 16-10 lead, the 49ers had, of all things, special teams screw things up as Andy Lee had a punt blocked. The Seahawks took over needing very few yards, and Marshawn Lynch took the ball in for a touchdown, giving them the lead. Then, Kyle Williams clearly surrendered himself on the kickoff, but was hit by two players, and the 49ers got a call when Michael Robinson was called for helmet-to-helmet.

You are not allowed to punish a player who has surrendered himself. But what really pissed me off were the Seattle fans chanting and cheering while a player was down with an injury. I've never seen that before. That's absolutely despicable.

Either way, the 49ers came back out, Braylon Edwards was called for a holding penalty and then the 49ers fan the ball for some reason. But then Alex Smith went deep - TO THE SIDELINE EVEN - and hit Michael Crabtree big time, for a circus catch and a first down. But then the 49ers went with two idiotic runs in a row and had a third down. It's another run, and the 49ers elect to kick the field goal. It's good and they took the lead back, but with plenty of time left on the clock.

But Seattle started driving, and at the two-minute warning, they'd got themselves to near mid-field. But the 49ers got good pressure on Tarvaris Jackson, who held the football wrong, and Larry Grant forced the fumble, which San Francisco recovered with a little over a minute remaining. Three runs later, and they're punting with just under a minute to go.

Justin Forsett doesn't get out of bounds on the gain of eight yards or so. And on third down, the pass sails overhead, and the Seahawks have a fourth down. It doesn't happen, the pass is Alex Smith-esque in its propensity to fly out of bounds. The 49ers get the win, and I'll have a lot to say in a second recap a bit later.

If Seahawks fans were on this blog during the game they would have heard several people calling for the Nners to intentionally injure Lynch.

Maybe that’s why they were cheering about an injured Niner.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

It’s one thing to wish for stuff like that to happen, like hoping Lynch would sprain an ankle or something minor, but it’s a completely different thing when it actually happens and to not have any respect for the person who’s laying on the ground injured with the medical staff around him.

we're speaking in general terms

on top of the fact that, yes, I don’t get why a fan of one team cares about fans of other teams. And a proven thief is quite different than guys cheering another a player’ s misfortune. Both are wrong, but it should be clear why we have very good reasons to concern ourselves with thieves or stealing generally, as opposed to what opposing football fans yell at a game.

by salary_cap on Dec 24, 2011 6:03 PM PST up reply actions  

As people, if they do something that is bad like that, then yeah, I dislike them. Especially in a stadium filled with players from my team. And accordingly, if it makes me root for the Seahawks to lose harder, then there is a chance that those same fans will be saddened by them losing, which in turn would bring me great joy because i’m just that much of a bad person.

And I know you didn’t just honestly think I was comparing stealing to cheering.

Good win. Still not a fan of the playcalling at the end of the game

In general I don’t like the “just get points on the board” mentality. When you’re down 1 and complete a 40 yard pass to get into the red zone, GO FOR SEVEN. Take the field goal if you can’t punch it in.

Running 3 dives and kicking it puts us up by 2. A field goal beats us instead of forcing them to get it in the end zone themselves. Yes, we have an awesome defense, but how about not forcing them to make ANOTHER stop or get another turnover for once?

LOL. Power trip.

by mikev on Dec 24, 2011 4:42 PM PST reply actions  

playcalling in general

was NOT good in my view ..the end of the game bothered me less than all the runs on 2nd and 8ish and just the overall lack of caring about getting to 3rd down ..it was as if they were game planning the whole game to move the chains on 3rd down ..sometimes thats ok, but the whole game?

by FortyNiner00 on Dec 24, 2011 4:44 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, I'm not too mad about the end of the game

They went the statistically safe route on that 2nd to last series. Run and burn clock, especially if you’ve got the defense. If they had one or 2 incompletions, they would have left an extra 30sec-1min on the clock. And that 3rd down run by Kendall where everyone thought it’d be a pass, maybe that’s exactly why they tried a run but failed. Not saying I agree with the decisions made, but can understand the thought process.

by c-three on Dec 24, 2011 5:02 PM PST up reply actions  

play calling was terrible on both sides offensively

and I’m sure both fan bases can attest to this being the storyline all season. Both teams were dying to give this one away, doing their best not to lose the game, rather than to put it away or become aggressive.

I still can’t understand just accepting a FG by running 3 straight with plenty of time left if you’re the niners. I don’t get punting it on 4th and 1 at the opp 42 in the 4th qtr down 6 pts…their were many other extremely questionable and conservative calls. It’s sad this is a brand of football that anybody subscribes to.

by salary_cap on Dec 24, 2011 5:04 PM PST up reply actions  

The offensive playcalling has not been stellar

It’s not been awful in a Singletary cringeworthy way but it surely hasn’t been good. There have been some innovative things being done, but it’s hyper conservative.

by smileyman on Dec 24, 2011 5:07 PM PST up reply actions  

yes

and my fear is that it hurts us in the playoffs, when we are actually facing somebody pretty good.

by salary_cap on Dec 24, 2011 5:10 PM PST up reply actions  

I think the defense is good enough to make up for it

The 49ers have played teams this year that put up points and have managed to beat them.

This team plays up to the level of their opponents, which is encouraging for the playoffs.

by smileyman on Dec 24, 2011 5:12 PM PST up reply actions  

you're not going to

put away other teams (or feel confident about it anyways) by incessantly foresaking opportunities to advance the football/score touchdowns instead of FG’s…weird things happen in games (like the Jackson fumble when they were on a potential game winning drive) and they are falling the niners way for the most part. Part of that is competition. Both teams wanted to give this one away by putting the ball in the other team’s offense’s hands.

by salary_cap on Dec 24, 2011 5:16 PM PST up reply actions  

It would be interesting, then...

…if we decided to be “daring” in the playoffs, go for 7 when 3 would do…and end up giving the ball away via downs or a turnover.

by NinerEd on Dec 24, 2011 5:28 PM PST up reply actions  

it would still be the right call though

…Carrol punting away his 4th and 1 was still a bad call even though the punt block ensued on the next posession.

Playing to lose is protecting against a turnover or going backwards and/or stopping clock, yes, but it’s not good football.

Goldson needs to be replaced next year

Grant Cohn wrote an article this weeks about how he was our worst player on D and he really showed it today with several badly missed tackles. He doesn’t seem to use his arms at all when he tackles, he just tries to knock players over, which is fine when they just caught a pass, but not when they’re a runner with momentum.

He was outstanding in blocking.

He’s still got all the tools to be a dominant guard. Just awful in pass-protection. He was better at blocking that Iupati last season… pretty obvious all season

by teekay on Dec 24, 2011 4:56 PM PST up reply actions  

Yup

The biggest issue I see with him is that he doesn’t take what he learned the previous year and carry it forward to the next. Means he ends up having dominant games towards the end of the season as he figures it all out again.

100 bucks here of there, or something that scales with the pay. The problem with the idea that I put up there is that it would be hard to distinguish between something blatant and something that would be hard for anyone to get right in real time.

This hyperconservative garbage Harbaugh spits out every week is going to be taken advantage of eventually…hopefully it won’t be til 2012-2013

Winning was huge, going towards securing a bye is bigger. But, even though 12-3 is more than enough, how the team plays will always be more important. at guiding our expectations/confidence going forward. Concerns are aplenty with this team.

Maybe I'm just riding the high off of this win.

We’ve proven we can beat good play off bound teams before. I have a lot of faith in our defense and I think if the play calling gets better we can win some play off games. How much better we have gotten after only 1 year with Harbaugh is astounding to me.

for the defensive improvement

I think it has to be much to do with the new scheme, aided by some solid additions and the maturation of some players…but I don’t think the improvement has been as drastic as the record leads on — the niners play games — and are play called — in a manner that is willing to incessantly put the ball in the other team’s hands late in games with less than a touchdown lead. This is playing with fire, and the niners could easily be 9-6 or 8-7. I’m glad they’re not.

Good win today

Still annoyed by the lack of officiating…i blame that punt block and subsequent rushing TD on the refs allowing Seattle to continuously mug the Niners WR’s. They shouldn’t have been punting in the 1st place, the DB was blatantly interfering with Kyle Williams on the 3rd down before….and of course, Kyle then gets hurt on the ensuing kickoff…..why is the officiating so horrible in favor of Seattle every time the Niners play up there?

by sanfranfanmdk on Dec 24, 2011 5:54 PM PST reply actions  

officiating has been consistently bad

and Kyle Williams did not get interfered with on that play. Would have been tough catch. Williams is good. And most home teams tend to get the benefit of doubt, it’s not just the Seahawks WHEN they’re playing the niners. It happens league wide.

by salary_cap on Dec 24, 2011 5:57 PM PST up reply actions  

The guy rode Williams and had his arm around him the whole time.

I don’t agree that the 49ers get screwed constantly but you’re definitely wrong here.

well

I have been on hiatus here for eleven weeks and on purpose. I didn’t want to curse the 49ers success because last time I commented on NN was during their loss to the Cowgirls.

That’s over!!! 49ers are for real and Super Bowl contenders. Just imagine how crazy that comment would have been in August.
