Preview: Seattle at San Francisco.

When: 8:25 PM ET, Thursday, October 22, 2015
Where: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California

The Seattle Seahawks will look to reverse a disturbing trend of late-game collapses when they visit the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night in a matchup of bitter NFC West division rivals. The Seahawks have dropped two straight games, blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in an overtime defeat at Cincinnati before allowing two late TDs in last week's 27-23 setback versus Carolina.

"Our expectations are that we should be winning all of these games," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "We should be 6-0 and we should be rolling right now." The 49ers snapped a four-game losing streak with their best performance since the season opener in a 25-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Although the loser of the game will fall into the division cellar, San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula said his club is not approaching the game like a matchup between also-rans. "Anytime you play Seattle, it’s a big deal," he said. "So I wouldn’t expect that we’ve got to get anybody pumped up for this game.”

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (2-4): Although quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked four times last week to boost his league-leading total to 26, he finally established a strong connection with tight end Jimmy Graham, who had eight receptions for 140 yards. Running back Marshawn Lynch returned from a two-game injury absence to rush for 54 yards on seven carries, but middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (pectoral) missed the game and is questionable for Thursday. Seattle's Legion of Boom secondary has been gashed by tight ends in consecutive games, including the game-winning TD to a wide-open Greg Olsen on a blown coverage.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (2-4): Colin Kaepernick is coming off his best game of the season, throwing for 340 yards and a pair of TDs on Sunday, but he has struggled against the Seahawks with only three scoring passes versus nine interceptions. In addition, two of Kaepernick's top weapons are hurting - leading rusher Carlos Hyde is dealing with a foot injury while veteran wideout Anquan Boldin is nursing an ailing hamstring after registering consecutive 100-yard games the past two weeks. San Francisco's pass defense has been especially vulnerable, ranking last in the league with 306.2 yards allowed per game.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Seattle has won five of the past six matchups (playoffs included) and limited San Francisco to 10 points in sweeping the series last season.

2. Kaepernick is 1-5 (postseason included) in his career against Seattle.

3. The Seahawks have been outscored 48-9 in the fourth quarter of their past five games.

I'm almost there with you. I've been waiting and waiting for this line to go up even higher to fade Seattle. Ended up coming to the conclusion that it's probably not a great idea. Probably better spots to fade public action than this one but who knows which team will show up. My guess is Seattle.

Like the statistics - thanks GB.

 

[Greenbacks]

Good job guys......Someone has info on the game....Trends,etc,etc.....Post it.

Good luck!

 

[Greenbacks]

This is the 1st time since Week 13 of 2009 that SEA & SF are both below .500 going into a head-to-head matchup.

 

[Greenbacks]

One of the biggest issues with the Seahawks' defense this year has been big plays through the air. Through six games, Seattle's defense has allowed 23 pass plays of 20+ yards (20th). Last year, the Seahawks gave up 32 pass plays of 20+ yards all year. Cutting down on the explosive plays will be key against the 49ers and for the rest of the season.

 

[Greenbacks]

Carlos Hyde and Anquan Boldin, both listed as questionable, both officially active tonight vs. Seattle

 

[Greenbacks]

Seahawks inactives: CB Marcus Burley, FB Derrick Coleman, LB Nick Moody, OL Mark Glowinski, G/C Patrick Lewis, DL Demarcus Dobbs, DL Jordan Hill. As expected, middle LB Bobby Wagner is active and will start after being sidelined one game with a strained pectoral injury.

 

[Greenbacks]

Since the Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson, the home team in the Seahawks-49ers series has gone 6-1 (including playoffs). The lone home loss was by the 49ers last Thanksgiving.

 

[Sincityman6]

boldin playing tonight? I think that's a huge loss if he doesn't play

 

[Greenbacks]

Reggie Bush is ACTIVE

 

[Greenbacks]

Colin Kaepernick's six-year, $114M contract gave him security and the 49ers flexibility. But that arrangement is approaching a critical juncture, starting with tonight's Seahawks game.

 

[Greenbacks]

The Seahawks have blown a fourth-quarter lead in each of their last 5 losses, including Super Bowl XLIX. While the offense hasn’t done much to extend leads late this season (1 TD on 14 drives that started in fourth), the defense hasn’t been able to stop anybody, allowing QBs to complete 48-of-56 attempts (not including spikes) in the fourth this season.
