What the Losers Are Saying: San Francisco 49ers

The Seahawks have now won more games than all of last season. Seattle once again did not play poorly but they weren't exactly fantastic. They did enough to win after falling behind at home again. But this segment doesn't talk about winners. Whenever the Seahawks pull out a win, we take a scope at how the other half copes with defeat. This week's victim is the San Francisco 49ers. They absolutely had to win this game and decided not to. The 49ers fans are none too happy about that. If any Niners supporters are perusing this neck of the woods I just want to say that this is by no means meant to disrespect the fanbase. The point of WTLAS has always been to see what the defeated team thinks.
Before I begin this I just want to get the whole Jones/Forsett thing off my chest. It's not meant to slight any individual but it is a collective statement towards anyone who was pissed that Forsett barely got any carries yesterday while Julius Jones got the majority of the touches.
If you honestly believe Knapp is at fault (or Mora) for the lack of carries from Forsett yesterday then you're thinking irrationally. Forsett was injured a mere two days before gameday and Jones was coming off an injury in which he had 2 weeks to heal. Jones was a lock to play while Forsett was questionable.The argument that Force didn't look hurt is invalid because with each play he is out on the field the body is forced to work harder and make the legs work even more, thus increasing the chance of reaggravating his quad injury. If Forsett gets injured then either you give Jones even more carries or watch Louis Rankin slowly make his way to the line of scrimmage for a 1 yard gain.
What happens from here on out we will have to wait and see, but the criticism of how the Jones/Forsett issue was handled in regards to last Sunday is insane.
Now onto the losers...(normally I censor the language but I'm lazy so I'll forgo that idea. I hope you like swearing).
In-Game: Niners Fumble on Punt Return Reverse
JUST FUCKING HOLD THE BALL ON PUNTS
fuck this team
Holy shit
That was fucking terrible.
WTF Is with the retarded trick punt returns?
Instead of one putting one horrible punt returner back there let’s give TWO of them the chance to fuck up!
I’ve been saying for two seasons to get rid of fucking Arnaz Battle because he’s utterly useless. At the very least bury his ass on EVERY depth chart including special teams punt returns.
brandon jones sucks balls
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!!!!
A bunch of comments from Niners Nation's game thread.
The same way I felt that fumble that Seattle didn't recover when Shaun Hill got sacked in the 1st game was huge, this was also huge. Sure it was early but our offense was looking like it would play like it did in the 1st Cardinals game. Nick Reed recovered the fumble like the Seahawks legend that he is, and the Seahawks were gifted 7 points.
In-Game: Deon Butler catches for 32 and Olindo Mare Wins it
the game and probably the season
okay that was a wasted three hours
Ballgame
RIP Playoffs
fuck fuck fuck fuck
GAME
nobody’s fault but our own
Jimmy Ray has got to go
Alright, now might as well just bring on the fucking tank the rest of the season
One of the worst coached games anyone will ever see now that Nolan isn’t a head coach anymore.
What an utterly inept, clueless, pathetic football team. There was no excuse to lose this game.
SH*T THAT’S F*CK!!
Sigh, I already get my masochist going on when I watch the Warriors, this is just utterly depressing.
More Niners Nation fun.
We're not done.
i'm gonna kick in the TV, i swear
That last possession was 100% pure BS. This coaching staff has no friggen clue as to what the hell they are doing. They need to be fired at the end of the season.
Im going to cry.
this is awful. i really have not enjoyed this game. i knew we would do this. we did everything to lose. singletary must go...he coached like a deer in headlights today. alex's last throw was irresponsible. get the 3 yards not throw a silly nearly intercepted pass.
I don't get why on 3rd and 3 we don't just get the first down....we had 2 time outs.
How do you get the ball back with 40 seconds left and NOT run enough time to NOT give them all that time to get a FG? HOW?
Thoughts expressed by members of the 49ers Message Board.
Would anyone care to note that Burleson had a 21 yard punt return to get us to our own 48 on that last drive? Every once in a while he has the 2007 Burly in him. Now hold on to that football and finish those routes so I won't be frustrated with you every week. I like you Burly.
Post-Game Video Crow: 49ers Fall to Seahawks 20-17
And one more bit of crow...
mrbrandontheniner (who happens to have a Washington 42 Cal 10 video as well).
That concludes this week's edition of WTLAS. Seattle's playoff chances just about ended on Monday when, in typical Seahawks fate, neither the Cardinals nor the Packers lost. That means we're 3 games out of both the wild card and divisional chase (tiebreaker makes it 4) with 4 games to go. I think this team can finish 8-8. I'm feeling optimistic about this defense. Babs, Mebane, and Wilson have all been phenomenal the last few weeks. This weekend we play a Texans team in disarray. Brian Russell may or may not be active. If Houston loses it's likely because Russell's stink got all over them. SEA! HAWKS!
A place to bury strangers.

You forgot the line on NN where somebody said:
“God, I wish they would resign Brian Russell!” it was in the third thread I think.
Did we ever get our Michael Crabtree ducking GIF?
I want to bask in it’s glory.

Sorry, I'm working on it.
I’ve been utterly swamped with school this week.

It’s lazytown for the next three weeks, bitches.
Here is is...

This was the best I could do. Captured it while doing my play-by-play recap
over at Niners Nation.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will get picked in the first round.
I don't see any movement. >=O

Wow, interesting reading the the yin to my yang.
Oh boy another 10 am start this week.
On a side note. I’m glad to see the blue pants on the road. That was on my preseason wish list. Now if the mascot could only lose the #0 jersey and don the #1…….. Super Bowl!
"Superhero like even"
I think this team can finish 8-8.
8 – 8 is likely, but which team will they beat, the Packers or the Titans? I am already counting Houston and Tampa as victories.
yeah there is no way we are winning in GB!
"If, now this is a hypothetical, If I were offered the job, I would start with the offensive line" Mike Holmgren on KJR
I honestly think we only have one more win in us this year, and that'll be against the Bucs.
Even a wounded Houston team is going to be tough to beat on the road…especially a 10am game. Green Bay will be impossible. And the Titans are a lot better now than they were at the beginning of the year.
I will smash your face into a jelly.
What The Losers Are Saying -- this feels like taunting.
Or if not taunting, at least getting our jollies off reading the in-game whining of the other teams’ fans, particularly their most immature fans, which is pretty lame. I’m sure a selective sampling of Field Gulls in-game threads during a Seahawks loss would make this community look like a bunch of whiny bitches, too. What’s the point here?
You can say this isn’t meant to be disrespectful or about the enjoyment of the pain of the vanquished, but the fact that there is no What The Winners Are Saying series for when the Hawks lose speaks volumes. If it were up to me, I’d say either post comments from the opposing team every week regardless of the outcome, or don’t do it at all. It just looks bad.
If this was posted on a Niners blog I'd say it's wrong, but it's harmless on Field Gulls.
Seattle got a big win and we(me!) hate San Fran, I enjoy reading their pain about losing. It’s not really making fun of them it’s just saying “Yeah that’s right, Seahawks beat you!”.
SEA!
It's harmless fun.
I think most of us can look at what they’re saying and fully appreciate how similar it is to what many Seahawk fans would be saying if the situation had been reversed. Really, even with the win there are still a ton of fans calling for Mora or knapp or both to be fired the same way these 9er fans are calling for Singletary or Raye to be fired.

It wouldn't bother me if another site posted a FG version of this.
We’ve all been where these people are. Most of us express it better. I, for instance, punch my neighbor’s dog.
Why punch it?
Kick it…
your foot is that much closer to it’s soft underbelly.

Are you like me then?
Really slow to come around to the UFC?
I still love the sweet science far more, but there is a complete corruption and dearth of watchable fights on regular tv these days. It’s sad— in their quest to eek out every possible dollar, they’re killing their own sport.

Some Niners fans might be upset
I’m not. Most of us were pretty pissed off during the game.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will get picked in the first round.

There is no fun in listening to winner talk
I write this every week because losing brings the best (or worst) out of everyone. Anger is funnier to look at than sheer joy.
ME! BANE!
especially after they come over here and post pictures
of the play where Willis injured Matt.

Fair enough. I'll just stop reading it.
Just wanted to point out that laughing at the losing team might make you look like a dick to some people. I know it’s not meant that way, it just looks like it.
its. ugh.

OMG. Reply eat. Now I have a grammar check post of my own post, not connected to my post.
I feel worthless and weak.

Wasn't Brian Russell on the Jaguars roster when we played them?
And now he plays for the Texans? It is an amazing stroke of luck that we get to face him twice this year…and he doesn’t even play in our conference.
The Seahawks have had some bad luck this year: early season injuries on the O-Line and secondary really put us behind the 8-ball, some bounces and calls that went against us. But we got the bounces and calls against the Niners last week.
And now, wow, getting to face Russell twice makes up for, oh, 4 missed games by Leroy Hill? We beat Jax 41-0 on Russell’s watch last time.
Seahawks 31 Texans 27
You know
I do kind of like this editorial series, but is there any way we could think of another name than “What the Losers Are Saying”? At a glance, it reflects really badly on this blog and community, and makes us come off as arrogant and smug.
There have been several "What the Losers are Saying"
funny how this is the first time people are offended.

I was hoping the series would turn into something more like...
…excerpts from opponent posts in the next few days after the game, stuff from the main writers or well-spoken commenters on the opponents’ sites, which would show what they think went wrong for them, what the Seahawks did well, what they thought of our team, etc. I think that would be more interesting, and more reflective of what the other side actually thinks, than the predicable knee-jerk quotes from the in-game thread of “Oh fuck, we suck, how did that happen?” and “I’ve been saying Player X should be cut all along!”
Maybe that should have been my original post. The “this makes us look like dicks” thing is still valid, but it’s secondary — from what I’ve seen of the other SBNation blogs, this site is pretty freakin’ classy, Wayward Llama notwithstanding :)
I do have the "what they think went wrong for them" stuff
But opted not to post it.
I normally do but I went the lazy route. Plus the videos to me are a great addition to this feature.
ME! BANE!
