As if their desperate signing of the retired Marshawn Lynch after an embarrassing loss to the Cardinals didn’t already give it away, these aren’t the same Seahawks the 49ers played just last month.
Crippling injuries may be at the forefront of Seattle’s troubles, but there are other reasons this version of the Seahawks may not seem as formidable when the 49ers face them at CenturyLink Field Sunday night with the NFC West title on the line.
From quarterback Russell Wilson no longer playing like an MVP candidate to the team’s disappearing pass rush, things are definitely askew in Seattle.
