    Bitter Rival Rams Coach Not Calling Brutal Offensive Performance

    Online Niel Posted on

    While the Los Angeles Rams earned a crucial win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers were busy suffering a devastating loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

    The 49ers lost on a 13-yard touchdown run by Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith with just 12 seconds left, dropping San Francisco to just 5-5 on the year.

    While San Francisco’s defense contained Seattle as much as possible, the offense didn’t follow suit, managing just 275 total yards in the loss.

    Afterward, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed his displeasure with his team’s poor offensive showing.

    “We had every opportunity to run with it and put it away,” Shanahan saidvia Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “I thought the defense did a lot of that, especially getting that turnover in the third quarter. We felt really good that we came in and scored and we couldn’t overcome the penalties. It happened in two of our races that cost us points, I think.”

    The 49ers surrendered just 289 yards of offense to the Seahawks. San Francisco entered Week 11 ranked ninth in the NFL in passing defense, so that shouldn’t be a surprise.

    However, the Niners’ inability to score was clearly frustrating for Shanahan.

    “But when you have opportunities to do it and you get hurt with penalties and some missed opportunities, you have to finish there at the end,” Shanahan added. “I was disappointed because I thought the offense had every chance to do that and they couldn’t do it there.”

    The 49ers’ offense has been up and down all season, so it’s nothing new.

    To be fair, San Francisco has dealt with a lot of injuries this year. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is out for the year, quarterback Christian McCaffrey missed a lot of time and tight end George Kittle was ruled out against Seattle with a hamstring problem.

    But no one will feel bad for the Niners, who entered the 2024 campaign as favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year and fell flat.

    The Rams, 49ers and Seahawks are now all 5-5. They are one game behind the Arizona Cardinals for first place in the NFC West.

    Los Angeles defeated San Francisco earlier in the season.

    The Rams will face the Niners again on December 12th.
