San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David after Saturday’s 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks how concerned does head coach Kyle Shannahan has to be now going agianst the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs?

#2 There is no escaping that the 49ers offense was flat and that Brock Purdy didn’t get enough protection talk about the O line and some of the injuries that hampered the 49ers.

#3 Going into Philadelphia the 49ers linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) could sit out the game and Tatum Bethune (groin) will miss the game and the 49ers are looking at Eric Kendricks and Garret Wallow to replace them. It should be noted that Kendricks or Wallow were not even on the 49ers roster six weeks ago.

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?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast Tony Renteria:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders (2-14) defense just simply could not shut down the New York Giants (3-13) offense and quarterback Jaxson Dart who threw for 207 yards, 22-30.

#2 The Giants in the second and third quarters got plenty of scoring production with ten points in each of those quarters Dart scored two touchdowns as the Giants offense did all the work in the 34-10 win.

#3 The Raiders just couldn’t muster enough offense to make this a game. Raiders quarterback Geno Smith was 20-28 for 176 yards with one touchdown. For Smith was this a matter of not getting enough receiving yards to get some scores or the run game just couldn’t get enough yardage.

#4 Tony how much of an impact was the Giants defense in stopping the Raiders from attempting to put points on the board.

#5 With the loss the Raiders might be on their way to getting that first round draft pick out of the NFL draft in former Cal Bears quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
