SANTA CLARA — Here is how the 49ers (8-1) graded in Monday night’s 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks (8-2):
PASS OFFENSE: F
This unit has never looked as unreliable this season. As many as nine drops, compounded by George Kittle’s absence and Emmanuel Sanders’ rib-injury exit, made this an overall woeful performance. Jimmy Garoppolo wasn’t sharp (24-of-46, 248 yards, five sacks, two strip-sack fumbles, two interceptions dropped in OT). Nothing demonstrated the reversal of the passing game’s fortunes more than Kendrick Bourne, who was a third-down savior in the first half (3-for-3, one touchdown) to multiple blunders down the stretch (drop for interception, drop in red zone).
