Seahawks vs 49ers: 5 takeaways from an unconvincing win
By Keith Myers
The Seattle Seahawks won game, but nothing about this win will give fans confidence about their team’s chances of bringing home an other Super Bowl.
The Seattle Seahawks wrapped up their 2016 season today with an unconvincing 25-23 win over the dreadfully bad San Francisco 49ers. The game will do little to provide encouragement for fans as the Seahawks head into playoffs.
10-win seasons in Seahawks history:

Let’s just jump straight into my 5 takeaways from today’s game:
1. Yet another slow start
At the end of the first quarter, the Seahawks found themselves down 14-3. The defense let the 49ers walk down the field for 2 easy scores, and the offense didn’t even have the first down.
If fact, at the end of the first quarter, the Seahawks had a grand total of 10 offensive yards.
Seahawks had 10 yards in the 1st quarter. 10. that's it. Against the worst defense in the NFL. 10.

The Seahawks dug themselves a hole yet again. It’s a good thing they were playing a terrible team, or it most definitely would have cost them.
The Seahawks cannot let this happen in the playoffs, or it’ll mean an early exit just like last year.
