The quickest way to forget a loss is by winning your next game. The 49ers face their arch-nemesis Sunday afternoon as the Seattle Seahawks come to town. By now, you’re aware that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson have never lost three games in a row. You’re also aware that Kyl Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo haven’t lost back-to-back games.
Marc Delucchi: 49ers win, 34-28
This feels like an early make-or-break game for the Niners, and it gets right at my conflict in evaluating head coach Kyle Shanahan. He’s an elite offensive mind and has continuously maintained an upbeat locker room through several disappointing seasons.
