2-5 Niners in the Driver's Seat

NINERS  3,  SEAHAWKS  20

The San Francisco Forty-Niners,  only two years removed from playing in the NFC Championship game, have done a remarkable turnaround:  Moved the team 50 miles from their supposed home town and alienated more than half their fan base in the process, jacked up ticket prices to the sky,  fired/let walk/couldn't keep the best coach they've had since George Seifert, seen a mass exodus of quality players from the roster, hired a coach who doesn't just look like the guy who sells me salamis at the deli in North Beach, but may in fact BE that guy, have absolutely NO offensive line of any kind, and are still owned by the biggest bonehead west of the Mississippi.

This wasn't even close.  The Hags had NO chance to lose this game.  Whiners QB Colin Kaepernick has now nailed down a 1-6 record against their biggest rival.  What kind of a rivalry is that, if you always lose?  The Doormat kind  (see Browns-Steelers).  If you can't beat your division rival, you need to re-think the guy you have running the offense.  But not the Whiners-  they're on a mission.  They're going straight to the bottom.

3 points
9 punts (one short of the NFL season high)
7 three-and-outs
8 first downs
142 total yards
6 sacks

That's some of the most efficient, and impregnable, Doormat play seen this year.  FLAME ON.
