The San Francisco 49ers are a mess. Their offense is inconsistent, their defense can’t hold leads, and their special teams are a disaster. They’re a bad team right now.

The 49ers lost an ugly game to the Seattle Seahawks, 20-17. Yes, at home, they only scored 17 points against a bad defense. San Francisco is now 5-5 this season, and its playoff hopes are fading, especially heading into its toughest games.

Here are my quick reactions to the game. These are my live reactions as things unfolded. This should be fun.

• No George Kittle Today. Will this be a problem, especially for a team that struggles to score touchdowns in the red zone? (Update: This was a huge problem.)
• A three-and-out is not how we wanted the offense to start.
• If the 49ers can’t stop Seattle’s running game, they could lose this game. We’ll see how it goes.
• Nice work of Dee Winters covering DK Metcalf.

• Food Jordan Mason! Why isn’t he getting more carries? Christian McCaffrey clearly isn’t himself at this point. Give Mason more touches.
• It was an excellent ride for Brock Purdy and the 49ers. It was four for four and they even scored a touchdown in the red zone.
• John Jennings is already dominant, moreover. He made four catches in the first quarter.
• Purdy was not good on the next drive. He just threw an interception that gave Seattle excellent field position.

• Another special teams mistake. This time, it was a Mason fumble that made a lucky bounce out of bounds.
• So far, the 49ers can’t run the ball with McCaffrey.
• The 49ers are fighting again. So many mistakes.
• Jennings makes up for the holding penalty with a big catch on third down.
• Solid first half for the 49ers defense. Not so much for the offense. I guess Kittle is important.
• Isaac Yiadom with a big interception to start the second half.

• I don’t think Kittle needs to worry Eric Saubert take photos of him. He’s not good.
• Aaron Banks It’s a terrible match. He wasn’t very good the rest of the season either. He will probably play his last matches with this team.
• The 49ers continue to shoot themselves in the foot. They’re just not very good this year.
• Jake Moody makes his first field goal attempt since scoring the game-winner a week ago. Good for him.
• Bosa with his second sack, but it appears he aggravated his hip injury.
• And now all of a sudden the defense is playing poorly. That’s the problem with the non-scoring offense. The defense cannot carry the team all game.
• I’m old enough to remember when Deebo Samuel broke tackles every time he touched the ball. He hasn’t done it this season.
• Jennings is so good! He might be my favorite player.

• And Purdy is pretty good too.
• Jake Brendel is terrible. He’s doing what he does best: killing readers.
• Jennings again. It’s unreal.

• What a huge defensive stand by the 49ers.

• Unfortunately, the 49ers offense was unable to close out the game. So now the defense has to try.
• The 49ers defense receives very few passes without Bosa.
• Ricky Pearsall was shut out in this match. He had no grip. I realize he’s a rookie and has been through a lot, but the 49ers need their first round pick to step up.

The defense can’t hold up and the 49ers lose the game to a terrible Seahawks team. San Francisco has now spoiled Jennings’ best two games as a pro (three if you count the Super Bowl). They will probably lose to Green Bay and Buffalo. And this loss reduces their playoff hopes. Next up for the sloppy 49ers is a trip to face the Packers.
