HOME COOKIN’: Seattle has won the past six meetings against the 49ers in Seattle.
Carson managed to rack up 93 yards on the ground across 20 carries, including a few crucial first down pickups on the last drive of the game, securing the win for Seattle.
Kyle Shanahan’s search for his first win as 49ers coach resumes Thursday night, when they host the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium. Both teams enter Week 2 with an 0-1 record.
Quarterback Brian Hoyer threw for 193 yards and did not lead the team to a touchdown.
Hyde actually had some success running the ball against Carolina, averaging five yards a carry, but the Niners were playing from behind and couldn’t keep feeding him. He made two of them run into each other. “We’re thankful for the win, but we’re going to get the things corrected that we need to get corrected”.
Seattle has its own offensive issues, beginning with the line.
When they lost to the Packers 17-9 in Lambeau Field in Week 1, they did as well as they could against Aaron Rodgers, very likely lost a defensive touchdown on a blown call and pulled off a brilliant drive at the end of the first half – again highlighted by Wilson’s making something out of nothing.
He was much more effective than Thomas Rawls, who played a supporting role with a mere five carries for four yards. Staley definitely will play on Sunday, and Ward should be ready to play against the Seahawks. The guy we expected would split carries with Lacy – Thomas Rawls – has returned to the lineup. Defensively, the 49ers are yielding 23.0 points and 287.0 total yards (171.0 in passing and 116.0 in rushing per game). Hyde covered a career-long 61 yards before getting tackle at the Seahawks 22, eventually leading to a 49ers field goal. Sherman and Garcon had heated battles when Garcon was with Washington. “Obviously, the crowd has a lot to do with it, but when you just line up and look at their defense and their scheme, it’s a tough thing to go against”, he said.
Eight plays into the game, Lane was thrown out when he tangled with Packers WR Devante Adams during an interception return by DT Nazair Jones. The game is scheduled for 4:25 PM EST at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington.
The 49ers used a 10-play, 54-yard drive to set up the go-ahead field goal early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Seattle, 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings and the favorite is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
Russell Wilson has beaten the 49ers in his last seven tries. He rushed for 830 yards as a rookie in 2015, but has been plagued by numerous injuries the last two years.
Paul Richardson stepped in well enough for the departed Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin remains the team’s most reliable playmaker. In 2 games he caught 10 of 16 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown.

After holding Seattle to a three-and-out, the 49ers took over with less than two minutes left in the half. That and Wilson seeming to realize his team’s best chance on this day of his errant passing and more poor pass protection by his offensive line was with him taking off running, even on pass plays.
