That fateful drive and the remainder of the fourth quarter have been performed with out Nick Bosa on the sector for San Francisco after he entered the sport listed as questionable to play with a hip harm.
Smith completed the day 25-of-32 passing for 221 yards and an interception (Isaac Yiadom) whereas Brock Purdy was 21-of-28 for 159 yards, a landing and a decide (Johnathan Hankins).

Right here’s what coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers needed to say after seeing their six-game profitable streak over Seattle snapped at residence:
Kyle Shanahan
On Smith’s scrambles:
He was simply getting by means of the d-line. Everybody was in protection. One was versus zone, the primary one. The following one, I consider was
On if Bosa’s harm was the identical hip harm as earlier than:
No, I believe it was a unique one. … Not hip, indirect.
On evaluating Purdy’s sport:
Similar as everybody. Did some good issues and missed some issues.
On Kittle lacking the sport:
No setback, simply couldn’t go. Would have been too dangerous.
On the message to the crew:
We had each alternative to run away with that and put it away. Although the protection did a bunch of that, . Particularly getting the turnover within the third quarter. I felt actual good about entering into and scoring, and couldn’t overcome the penalties. It occurred on two of our drives that price us factors. I believe on the finish of the second quarter and in addition at first of the third quarter.
On missed alternatives:
When you’ve alternatives and also you damage your self with penalties and some missed alternatives, you bought to complete it there on the finish. I used to be dissatisfied as a result of I believed the offense had each likelihood to do this and we didn’t get it completed there.
On demoralization of getting Bosa out:
We don’t take into consideration that within the second.
On Bosa’s harm outlook:
It’s his different hip and he couldn’t return to the sport, which suggests it’s bothering him. So we’ll see how he’s tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not too massive of a deal, however that’s all we all know proper now.
Brock Purdy
On the loss:
We had some mishaps with some penalties and a few alternatives the place we’re transferring the ball and we simply saved hurting ourselves. So operationally, I really feel like we gotta be higher and might’t damage ourselves.
On the trail forward to make the playoffs:
You gotta do it one by one, you may’t look too far forward. Up subsequent is Inexperienced Bay and we’ve got to be all-in on that and never lookup. We simply must look down and do our jobs.
On the Seattle protection:
They did a superb job with taking away our alternatives to go deep. They saved all the pieces in entrance of them, it felt like.
On Kittle being out:
Once you’ve bought an explosive tight finish like George who can run, block, catch the ball, do all the pieces, a protection has to account for him.
On penalties:
It’s the NFL — you by no means wish to put your self in a gap. The blokes throughout on the opposite aspect of the ball, they’re the most effective of the most effective on this planet at what they do and so anytime you’ve some type of holding, false begin or one thing that may hinder you, it’s by no means a superb factor.
On the loss:
Simply because we had success the final couple years doesn’t imply the subsequent play or simply as a result of one thing unhealthy occurs to us, we’re simply magically going to make up for it. We bought to have the chip on our shoulder to go take it each single play and down in a sport. Simply bought to get again to that mindset.
Nick Bosa
On how he’s feeling:
Not nice. That’s why I needed to cease taking part in.
On the brand new harm:
I assume I used to be compensating. Pushed by means of final week. The identical factor occurred to my different indirect.
On being out on the finish:
Brutal. Crucial time within the sport for me to be on the market, I wasn’t capable of be. I hate lacking time. That’s why I pushed by means of final week.
On the playoff push:
It’s type of onerous to consider the large image proper now however we’ve got a variety of video games left and all we bought to do is get within the dance.
Fred Warner
On the ultimate drive:
We simply couldn’t get a cease. Geno, kudos to him, utilizing his legs to increase the drive and in the end get into the tip zone. We bought to discover a approach.
On blowing leads:
It’s simply infuriating, truthfully. However I’m at all times going to have all the arrogance on this planet and all people that we’ve got in our constructing. All of the solutions are in right here, it’s nearly doing it.
On blowing leads after being such a profitable crew lately:
It’s not like us, however that’s what we’ve proven this 12 months so I assume till we cease doing that, then that’s what we’re.
On Smith’s landing scramble to win it:
We have been in man protection, so which means it’s going to be onerous for us to get to him if he escapes as a result of all people’s bought their again turned to him. So yeah, gotta be higher.
Christian McCaffrey
On the temper within the locker room:
Not nice. Positively a troublesome loss. However similar to any week, you gotta appropriate errors, get again to it and we bought an enormous one this week.
On the blown leads:
I believe every sport has its personal lens and so they’re all completely different. This sport, as an offense, I bought to make a greater learn on a kind of runs and perhaps shut it on the market. So from my perspective, that’s what I bought to do. It’d be nice to not give them the ball again on the finish there and be capable to ice it.
On whether or not he looks like himself:
I really feel like I could be a lot higher. To overlook time with ain harm is at all times powerful. It’s not an excuse however I do know I could be a lot higher. I really feel it. It’s coming, I simply bought to get rolling.
On whether or not this creates a chip on the shoulder coming into Packers sport:
I believe all of us have a chip on our shoulder for lots of various causes. It’s extra about execution than an effort factor. We simply bought to execute higher as a unit.
