As a substitute of getting off to a robust begin and beginning a journey towards Tremendous Bowl competition, the San Francisco 49ers are 2-3 heading into Thursday’s street sport in opposition to the Seattle Seahawks and are in search of solutions.
They’ve continued to lose key gamers to accidents on a weekly foundation, and two of their three losses got here on account of them blowing 10-point fourth-quarter leads.

“To me, this isn’t a droop,” Silver stated. “I’m simply questioning how good they really are. Sure, they’ve accidents. They’ve bought just a little older. A number of the new guys they introduced in are thriving and [Christian] McCaffrey clearly makes a distinction. But when they’re good I really feel like they’ll win this sport.”

So far as accidents, McCaffrey, defensive sort out Javon Hargrave and linebacker Dre Greenlaw have all missed the primary 5 video games of this season, and now security Talanoa Hufanga and kicker Jake Moody will miss a while.
Whereas their offense hasn’t been as electrical because it was final season, it has been adequate for them to win 4 of their first 5 contests.
As a substitute, their protection, which is often their greatest energy, has been a much bigger wrongdoer.
They’ve had hassle stopping the run at occasions, they usually have missed a whole lot of tackles recently.
One other loss on Thursday would begin to jeopardize their possibilities of making the playoffs, however a win would put them into first place within the NFC West.
