    2026/10/12

    The 49ers' win over the Seahawks was a thrilling one, with a dramatic finish that had fans on the edge of their seats. But what does this victory mean for the team's chances in the season? In this episode, we're joined by David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard to break down the game and discuss the implications of the 49ers' performance.

    The 49ers' defense has been a major storyline all season, and this week was no exception. With Nick Bosa out, the team's pass rush was expected to be lacking, but what they showed against the Seahawks was impressive. The defensive line had a 51% pressure rate, and it's clear that they're only going to get better once Bosa returns. Meanwhile, the 49ers' offense was led by Brock Purdy and Mike Evans, who put on a show in the second half. But what does this mean for the team's chances in the season?

    One of the biggest takeaways from the game was the performance of Renardo Green, who's been playing at a Pro Bowl level. The 49ers' secondary has been a strength all season, and Green's play was a big part of that. But what about the team's wide receiver situation? With Debo Samuel and Jacob Cowling out, the 49ers were forced to get creative, and it paid off. But what does this mean for the team's future plans?

    If you want to hear more about the 49ers' win and what it means for their season, tune in to this episode to hear David Lombardi's expert analysis. We'll break down the game and discuss the implications of the 49ers' performance.
