Turn out the lights, the party’s over…

Hoo boy.

Seahawks have three timeouts. They kick it deep and need a stop here.

Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd have been in the backfield a lot today. Smith finds Lockett, though, on fourth down with 1:44 to go. 29-24 San Francisco.

2-minute warning, and Seahawks have the ball 2nd-and-goal at the 9.

Seattle is moving the ball, but tick tock…

DK Metcalf gets lose for a TD, but illegal shift brings it back.

Purdy to Kittle, TD. SF goes for 2, Seattle’s Nehemiah Pritchett lines up in neutral zone, but then Seahawks stop the next 2-point try. SF 29-17 with 6:20 to go.

Bad decision by Geno Smith. On first-and-18, throws late, and DK Metcalf is undercut by Renardo Green for a pick. First-and-10 49ers at the Seattle 15.

Needed that. Seahawks get a stop on third-and-9. But 49ers punt down by Chris Conley at the 3 with 9:27 to go.

Interesting. False start 49ers, which didn’t get blown dead very quickly, then Seattle gets called for a personal foul facemask penalty on a play that didn’t really happen. That’s the rule though.

Tre Brown and Artie Burns are out for the game. Big hit at a corner spot already missing Riq Woolen.

So Shanahan challenges there, but I don’t think it the ball hit Dee Williams, therefore it’s just a downed punt.

Julian Love make the tackle. Brown questionable to return with a hand injury.

Three straight shots of Walker and he punches it in from a yard out. 23-17 with 1:24 to go in the third. Drive was 13

plays, 94 yards, covering 5:38.

Laviska Shenault Jr. giveth, and then he taketh way. 97-yard kickoff return, 23-10, 9:54 Q3.

Kittle is just different. 10-yard TD from Purdy and it’s 23-3 10:07 Q3.

Seahawks, with no timeouts, throw three incomplete passes. They do get on the board with a Jason Myers field goal. 16-3 49ers at the half. Seemed like pretty low percentage throws there.

PI on Isaac Yiadom trying to cover Noah Fant. First and goal at the 2.

Geno Smith underthrows a deep ball to Metcalf, but he’s finding Jaxon Smith-Njigba on this drive. FIrst-and-10 at the 12 with 21 seconds remaining in the half. No more timeouts.

Jerome Baker doesn’t bite on misdirection and levels 49ers football Kyle Juszcyk for a 3-yard loss. Matthew Wright with his third field goal of the day, 16-0 2:33 Q2.

Charles Cross is having a lot of trouble with Leonard Floyd on this drive.

Perhaps Seahawks are just trying to see how big of a lead Shanahan can blow? Fun challenge.

Seahawks get a rush on Purdy, force him to throw it away on third down. SF FG good, 13-0 with 11:47 to go Q2.

Laviska Chennault fumbles the kickoff return after bringing out of the end zone. Other than offense, defense and special teams, the Seahawks are looking good today.

Really bad angle there by Julian Love. Take a big swing and a miss, and Deebo Samuel goes 76 yards for a TD. Yikes.

Fred Warner gets off a block attempt by Christian Haynes and blows up Kenneth Walker II on third down. Dickson in…

Kenneth Walker II now has more carries after a quarter today (6) than he had in the full Giants game (5).

Nice job by Julian Love to knock down a pass intended for George Kittle. SF to punt.

Is Michael Dickson the Seahawks best player? Kinda kidding, kinda not.

Looks like Isaac Yiadom got a piece of the ball on second down, then a piece of DK Metcalf on third down. Dickson time.

Artie Burns pass defensed on a fade to Deebo Samuel in the corner. Field goal attempt coming… Matthew Wright good from 25, 3-0 49ers with 3:58 to go Q1. But that was a long drive… 13 plays, 90 yards, 7:28 off the clock.

Lotta lotta missed tackles so far today…

Purdy escapes Jerome Baker and runs for a first down Big miss.

Seahawks start out with single-high safety look.

Perhaps should have handed it off again. Smith intercepted by the 49ers after Nick Bosa get the QB hit. Safety Malik Mustapha with the pick at the 49ers 2 yard line.

Two straight runs — they weren’t kidding about trying run it. Sets up a huge gain by DK Metcalf on third down. 30 yards.

Nice Anthem by Natalie Grant, though, you know, chill a little and keep it moving. Very good though. That’s your vocal commentary for the evening. I hope you enjoyed it.

Just got to say it again. Throwback jerseys should be the regular jerseys. Forever.

Marcus Trufant on the 12th Man Flag tonight.

ICYMI, Julian Love and Boye Mafe are active. With Nwoso going to IR, Moye return seems important. And Love is always important.
