Losing a last second game in OT doesn't equal getting embarrassed
Oh yes it does alright especially when we didn't have to lose the game.
Listen, we lost to a 29th ranked passing D.
And as the 2nd ranked rush O, we couldn't run the ball.
Our O-line was getting destroyed all night until Jimmy G started seeing ghosts.
In the end, it was the offensive genius head coach who lost his composure which sealed the fate of the team to lose a game against its rival on home turf.
Not embarrassed you say? You should talk to some of the 9ers fans who were at Levi's. The overwhelming report was it was absolutely brutal from the Seahawks fans. It was yet another massive loss of face, not unlike when the team was under Harbaugh really.
And I dare not watch TV for a while. It is a combination of pure embarrassment, frustration, disappointment, pain and anger.
I don't find it embarrassing. The only thing that really annoys me is it was the Seatoots that beat us.
We were going fine until Sanders got hurt. We didn't have Kittle which hurt us.
The worst thing for me is that the WR after Sanders went out were not running their routes properly and getting free and dropping catches that guys like Sanders would have been catching. They were embarrassing.
Kyle should also have called it better. Much of the loss was on Kyle for not adjusting to the Toots stacking the box and smothering our run game. Kyle should have had some better alternatives to beat them with a stacked box. I was very disappointed in that.
But embarrassing no. We just lost our first game after a magnificent run. It is part of NFL. A good reality check to motivate the players and coaches to never give up. The only ones who should be embarrassed is Goodwin, Bourne and Pettis. They should all be cut.
I totally agree with what you are saying about the WRs as well as the poor game management on the part of Shanahan.
But, I cannot hide the fact for the Seahawks is different, at least for me. It is the history, the hatred and disdain that many 9ers fans have for the Seahawks from the head down, Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson, the fans, etc, etc. That is just me being honest. As such, it was a massive embarrassment at least in that very context.
And to be fair to Harbaugh, at least the Seahawks team he faced was a Super Bowl contender and ultimately winner. Whereas this current Seahawks team is far from it, there is no Legion of Boom, but we still lost. The most frustrating and painful part of it all is we didn't have to. But, it was our very own head coach who handed the win on a silver platter over to the Seahawks.
