The San Francisco 49ers are 5-0 and just extended their lead over our Seahawks to two games in the division after a 32-29 slugfest right here at Lumen Field. That loss, our second in three weeks, stings big time. But honestly, the real gut punch is looking at what’s coming up on the schedule.
The 49ers Problem and Our Tough Loss
Look, the 49ers are 5-0. I get it. The article says they’ve already grabbed three wins in the division, two on the road. They’ve taken down the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, and our own Seattle Seahawks. Any questions about how “good” they are? The article says put ’em to rest. They even had five sacks against us without Nick Bosa out there! That’s just filthy defense. Our guys hung in, making it a 32-29 battle, and it sounds like it was one of the best games of the year. But it was a loss, and now we’re 3-2. Head coach Mike Macdonald certainly has his work cut out for him trying to close that gap. This team is not in trouble yet, but that “yet” is giving me major anxiety after this past weekend.
This Schedule Is No Joke
If you thought losing to the 49ers was tough, just wait. Our schedule doesn’t get easier, not even a little bit. We’ve got to turn around on a short week and go Mile High to face the Denver Broncos. After that? We host the Kansas City Chiefs. The *Kansas City Chiefs*. And then, just for good measure, we host the Chicago Bears. That’s a brutal three-game stretch, no question. The article says we may have an issue after that stretch depending on our win/loss total. “Issue” feels like an understatement if we don’t buckle down. We don’t see those red and gold jerseys again until Week 12. So, we’ve got to make some serious moves before then to be competitive.
The next game against the Broncos on a short week is massive. We need to go into Denver and grab a win to prevent this two-game deficit from growing even larger before those Chiefs and Bears games. The 12s will be watching every snap, hoping our boys can turn this around. Let’s get it done.
