Seahawks Lose By Inches And Time

The Seahawks again were in a close game, unfortunately, this time they lost. The final score San Francisco 26 Seattle 21.

The first half was all SF leading 13-0 at half-time. The only thing that didn't change the Seahawks had a hard time stopping the 49ers. I was hoping for a turnover at some point but that didn't happen. 

The Seahawks were able to score three touchdowns in the second half but were not able to make it four with little time left. The Seahawks actually had the ball on the one year line with less than a minute to go in the game. Marshawn Lynch came in the game for beast mode but for some reason, the Seahawks coaching staff allowed the clock to lapse so delay of game penalty moved it back to the six-yard line Marshawn than went back to the sideline.

The Seahawks had three times to score but couldn't find a way in. On the fourth down tight end, Hollister caught the ball but was stopped inches from the goal line. It looked like he was held on the play as well, The officials didn't look at the replay on it which was wrong. Being inside two minutes the Seahawks couldn't ask to look at the replay. I hope they change the rule when it comes to replay for next season. An important game like this should have been reviewed whether it would have changed the outcome or not.  

I was impressed by running Travis Homer. He had a good game running the ball. In fact, he was the leading rusher on the day or night in this case in the game with 62 yards on ten carries. I have to say he deserves to seeing playing time next year. He certainly will see it next week when the Seahawks go to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in the first game of the playoffs. The defense will certainly have to play better along with the offense getting off to a better start. Go Hawks.
