That game might have had drama, but it was mostly junk. Too many penalties, too many turnovers, and too much of the game turning on fumbles returned for touchdowns. Maybe having the 49ers minus six colored my perception a bit -- Seattle was clearly the right side -- but that wasn't high-quality football.

• The Seahawks had the right defensive game-plan -- sell out to stop the run and take your chances with Jimmy Garoppolo and the wobbly passing game. George Kittle's absence made that easier, and the 49ers lost Emmanuel Sanders mid-game, but Garoppolo looked uncomfortable in the pocket, took five sacks nearly threw a couple more picks and lost two fumbles.

• The silver lining for the offense was Deebo Samuel who broke tackles all game and looks like a force.

• Russell Wilson didn't have a great game. His amazing final drive that got them into game-winning field-goal range would never have happened had Chase McLaughlin made his last field-goal attempt. And that drive was started by a Wilson interception. But this was on the road against one of the league's top defenses, and he lost his top target in Tyler Lockett during the game too.

• Josh Gordon made an appearance, converting two catches in big spots with the game on the line. If Lockett is okay -- it sounds like his leg injury might be serious -- a Gordon/Lockett/D.K. Metcalf trio would be something with Wilson. If he's not okay, Gordon might have a significant role yet. Jacob Hollister also had a nice game, but I wouldn't get excited about him.

• Chris Carson didn't do a ton, but as usual he ran hard and almost never has a negative play.

• It'll be interesting to see how the 49ers bounce back -- it seemed they were exposed a bit, the way the Rams were exposed at Chicago last year. But it could be a different story once Kittle returns.
