San Francisco 49ers podcast Jeremy Harness:

#1 Jeremy how surprising is it consideirng the San Francisco 49ers just last week had quarterback Brock Purdy throw five touchdown passes on Sunday NIght Football against the Chciago Bears this week the 49ers could only muster a field goal in a 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on their home field in Santa Clara.

#2 If you had to put a finger on it why the Seahawks were so successful in shutting down the 49ers offense and Purdy?

#3 For Purdy he was scrambling and couldn’t get any daylight and had trouble connecting with his receivers.

#4 Purdy’s numbers for Saturday night 19-25 for 125 yards no touchdowns and one interception watching he couldn’t get even one touchdown after getting five last week had to be a shocking trasformation.

#5 Going into the post season do you see a loss like this a huge set back for the 49ers or is this a game that they can regroup from and plan for a better goal for the post season?
