49ers 36, Seahawks 24
Q. Geno, what are your general thoughts on that one, about how this one went for you guys?
GENO SMITH: Yeah, obviously we did a lot of things that you don't want to do when you talk about winning football games. We didn't control the ball. Didn't control the clock. Turned the ball over. Had penalties. You know, all the things that we talk about every week.
Like I said, when you play against good teams, well-coached, you can't shoot yourself in the foot. Those are the things we're doing right now. That's to be totally honest with you. Just getting in our own way. We got to stop doing that.
Q. How do you stop it?
GENO SMITH: Practice harder, work harder, better.
Q. What's the psyche of this team right now?
GENO SMITH: 3-3. Got long way to go. A lot of football left. Shouldn't hang your head. We put the ourselves in this position, you know what I mean?
For me, man, get back to work. Get back to doing the things I'm used to, which is playing clean football, good football, make the right plays, and doing what's right.
Q. The interception to Metcalf across the middle, did you notice him trying to break it deep or was that after you threw the ball or decided to throw?
GENO SMITH: It was an interception, man. We all saw it. Bad play by me.
Q. There are probably a few passes you want to have back. The under throw to DK end of the first half, what did you make of some of those throws?
GENO SMITH: Watch the film, man. Watch the film. You'll see it.
Q. Couple extra days off here coming up before the next. Can that help this team regroup and reset before the next one?
GENO SMITH: Yeah, get your mind and body right and get ready for practice on Monday and get back to it.
Q. What is it about the 49ers that you guys have so much trouble with in the last few games?
GENO SMITH: We lost just one game today. How many games we lost today? One?
Q. Today?
GENO SMITH: Yeah, so we lost one today.
Q. When you think about what your offense does well, what's your bread and butter at this point? What do you think this offense needs to hang its hat on?
GENO SMITH: We need to get better at a lot of things. That's the reality. We need to find ways to win. Whatever the bread and butter is, we got to collectively come up with that answer and get to it.
Q. Geno, third start with the offense looking real slow in the first half. What's the impetus on that?
GENO SMITH: Yeah, not starting fast. Not executing. That's the main thing, not executing. Lack of execution. This is a game of inches as they say. The margins are small, especially up here at the big boy league.
You got to do all the right things all the time. We failed to do that today.
Q. Your coach said that perhaps he needs to revisit how they coach ball security. Is there anything you can think of that you guys haven't done emphasizing that?
GENO SMITH: You know being that's what coach said so that's what we'll do.
