Seahawks had more than Wilson to blame for loss

Perhaps it should have been expected that if Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson (pictured right) was going to endure an ugly performance early in his first season, it would be on the road against San Francisco’s stellar defense. What wasn’t expected in Seattle’s 13-6 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night was a number of dropped passes, some at critical moments, and a Seahawks defense that was gashed on the ground for the first time this year by the running of Frank Gore. But it was another unimpressive offensive effort and some frustration began to show. “We are going to come back Monday and watch this film, and we are going to be real critical,” Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate said. “We have to figure something out.” – Associated Press
