Random 49ers wide receiver beefs with Tariq Woolen on Instagram

Observe Tariq Woolen clap back at 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ completely random taunt in reply to an NFL post on Instagram.

Tariq Woolen is getting coached up by Seahawks legend Richard Sherman, who may be the best trash-talker in franchise history. While most of the time Woolen seems like a much more low-key dude, he isn’t afraid to talk a little trash when the occasion calls for it.

Observe Woolen clap back at 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ completely random taunt in reply to an NFL post on Instagram. Jennings suggests that Woolen is vulnerable outside cover 3 and Woolen replied back by calling him a tight end.

In case you’re wondering who Jennings is, he serves as San Francisco’s No. 3 receiver, which makes him something like their No. 7 option offensively. This past season he caught 35 passes and one touchdown.

Let’s ignore Jennings’ status as a completely forgettable receiver while Woolen allowed the lowest passer rating in the league as a rookie. We can also forget that his critique of Woolen’s game is fundamentally backwards. Let’s just revisit this in two years and see who’s doing better.

Pressuring 49ers QB Brock Purdy could be the key to a Seahawks upset

Of course, knowing you have to pressure the QB to win and actually doing it are two distinctly different things.

The 49ers are a better team than the Seahawks this year. That’s just a cold, hard fact fans have to face, even if you’re the most hardcore homer in the Pacific Northwest. Heading into their Wild Card matchup on Saturday afternoon, San Francisco is on a roll. The Niners have won 10 straight games and swept the Seahawks in their two meetings in the regular season.

Based on when the game was scheduled, the league doesn’t seem to think much of Seattle’s chances. The oddsmakers certainly don’t. At the moment, the 49ers are favored by 9.5 points.

The best team doesn’t always win, though. That’s true in any sport but particularly in football, which has so many factors that predicting what will happen in any one game is a dangerous errand for any analyst. Most of them favor the 49ers, who simply have a lot more talent to go around – especially on defense. The Seahawks do have one key factor working in their favor, though.

While both will be making their first start in a playoff game, Geno Smith is a far more experienced quarterback than 49ers rookie Brock Purdy. If one of them is going to be overwhelmed by the moment and make panicked plays, odds are it will be Purdy, even though Smith has been somewhat shaky in the turnover-worthy pass department lately.

Purdy will have to be induced into making mistakes, though. When he’s kept clean he’s balled out but his numbers are much-less impressive when pressured. Here’s a nugget from Doug Farrar at Touchdown Wire which is probably Seattle’s best chance at an upset.

“The Seahawks have to get Brock Purdy off his spot, because when Purdy has a clean pocket, Mr. Irrelevant has shown that he can do some real damage. In the Week 15 matchup between these two teams, which the 49ers won, 21-13, those four edge defenders totaled no sacks, no quarterback hits, and two quarterback hurries, both by Nwosu. This season, Purdy has a passer rating of 74.4 when pressured, and 113.3 when clean.”

Of course, knowing you have to pressure the QB to win and actually doing it are two distinctly different things.

San Francisco’s offensive line finished the 2022 season ranked No. 7 in the NFL by Pro Football Focus. Quality pass protection was a big part of that – PFF grades the Niners’ pass blocking as a team fifth-best in the league.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks’ pass rush has been dismal for most of the season. They head into the postseason ranked No. 27 in PFF’s pass rush grade. However, recent history is on their side. Thanks largely to Darrell Taylor’s late-season surge, Seattle has been getting more productive pressure lately. In Week 18’s win over the Rams they posted five sacks and 10 quarterback hits. The week before against the Jets, they got to Mike White for four sacks and 10 QB hits.

If the Seahawks defense can build on those two strong performances to end the season and knock Purdy off his game, they might just make this one interesting.

Seahawks open as double-digit underdogs vs. 49ers for wild card game

Their reward is facing the toughest defense to come along in several years.

The Seahawks finished their season strong and got a little bit lucky last night, clinching a playoff berth thanks to the Lions defying recent history and upsetting the Packers in Green Bay. Thanks to that and their own win over the Rams Seattle has snuck into the playoffs, clinching the NFC’s last seed.

Their reward is facing the toughest defense to come along in several years – one that has already embarrassed them twice this season. On Saturday afternoon, the Seahawks will travel to Santa Clara and face the freight train 49ers, who have won 10 straight games going into the postseason.

According to USA TODAY Sports Data, the Niners are favored by 10 points. The over/under is set at 43.5 points and the money line is San Francisco -550 and Seattle +425.

The NFL tends to schedule their least-compelling playoff matchup in the Saturday afternoon timeslot, usually reserved for whoever crawls out of the AFC South. That the Seahawks are competing in that spot is a reflection on what the league thinks of their chances.

Kickoff is 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Seahawks vs. 49ers: Keys to a must-win matchup in Week 4

The Seahawks desperately need a win today against the 49ers otherwise their entire season will be on the line Thursday night against the Rams.

The Seahawks desperately need a win today against the 49ers otherwise their entire season will be on the line Thursday night against the Rams.

Here are a couple of keys to the game to avoid a 1-3 start.

Offense: Value your time

Seattle’s offense has been explosive and efficient this year. It’s also inconsistent and pretty-much non-existent in the second half of games. The Seahawks rank dead last in time of possession heading into Week 4 despite ranking second in DVOA on offense. OC Shane Waldron has to find a way to extend drives without sacrificing the big chunk plays that have been successful so far. He’ll also need to make better adjustments after halftime.

Defense: Try something different

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. If the Seahawks continue to stay the course on defense they’ll be certifiable by the end of the day. Personnel wise, coach Pete Carroll and defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. have to switch up their cornerback rotation and give guys like Darrell Taylor and Alton Robinson more snaps. Schematically, they have to be more aggressive in general and find a way to get Jamal Adams involved.

Seahawks losing support of experts going into huge Week 4 game with 49ers

The Seahawks have lost two games in a row that they should have won.

The Seahawks have lost two games in a row that they should have won. Now they’re starting lose the support of the football literati. Seattle was the clear consensus favorite from Weeks 1-3. However, heading into their crucial Week 4 showdown with the 49ers, the experts are somewhat split over which team will come out on top. There seems to be a trend leaning towards San Francisco, though.

Here’s a review of who they’re picking this week.

NFL.com: Seahawks

Gregg Rosenthal foresees a close call, with Seattle winning 24-23.

Sporting News: Seahawks

Bill Bender also has the Seahawks victorious in a one-point thriller, 28-27.

CBS Sports: 49ers

Six out of eight experts at CBS Sports predicted a 49ers win.

ESPN: 49ers

Eight out of 11 experts at ESPN went with the Niners.

USA TODAY: Seahawks

This one was close, with Seattle getting four picks and San Francisco three.

MMQB: 49ers

Four of the MMQB’s five panelists picked San Francisco.

This one is a tough call. Jamal Adams says the defense will be different starting this week. If he’s right, the Seahawks should be able to escape with a narrow win at least. If he’s not, it’s hard to see a scenario where Kyle Shanahan doesn’t run up the score. We’ll take one last homer pick for the road. Seahawks 31, 49ers 30.

Why San Francisco 49ers Will Win

The team seems to dig screw up other teams.

Just when you think there’s nothing there and it’s a lost team just going through the motions, it rocks the Rams or shocks the Cardinals.

This is it. This is their bowl game, their playoff, their final game of the year with a chance to make a statement against a team that’s on a three-game winning streak, but is starting to fade in the passing game.

The once devastating downfield offense has failed to his 200 passing yards in either of the last two weeks. The Niners have one of the league’s best pass defenses and will keep the pressure on Russell Wilson all game long, but …

Why Seattle Seahawks Will Win

The Seahawks are fighting for a possible massive reward.

They won’t know what’s happening with the Green Bay-Chicago game, and they’ll be scoreboard-watching New Orleans and Carolina, but if the Packers and Saints lose, it’s No. 1 seed time with a win.

At the very least, with the issues with the Saints, a win should get Seattle up into the No. 2 spot.

San Francisco might have been able to rise up a bit defensively, but the offense is as flaky as they come with way, way too many turnovers. The Niner O has turned it over multiple times eight times in row before last week.

Here come two turnovers Seattle’s way.

– CFN Experts Picks: Week 17 NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Seattle can’t stop anyone from throwing the ball, but it’ll do it this week against the hit-or-miss San Francisco O. Russell Wilson might be fading a bit like he did last year, but there will be just enough offensive balance to get out alive and be in a position for a stronger playoff spot.

It’ll win, New Orleans will lose, and the Seahawks will be No. 2.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Seahawks 23, 49ers 21

Moneyline (?)

The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league and this is a game ripe for an upset. As good as the 49ers have been this year, they showed a few flaws against Arizona last week against dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray.

Russell Wilson is having an MVP season and will lift the Seahawks to victory. Bet SEATTLE to win straight up with the moneyline (+220).

Against the Spread (?)

If we’re picking the Seahawks to win straight up, you bet we’re taking them with the points, too. Seattle is a 6.5-point underdog in Week 10, which is a huge spread for a divisional matchup – even if San Francisco is at home.

Happily take the points and take the SEAHAWKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin. They’re 13-3 ATS in their last 16 against the 49ers.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is a tough pick this week, since the total is just 46.5 points. The Seahawks offense can go on a tear at any moment thanks to Wilson, but San Francisco’s defense is dominant.

This should be a fairly low-scoring affair with both teams managing the clock. Bet the UNDER (-110) Monday night.
