Dr. X posts this from the press box at Candlestick Park:

"Here are some excerpts from my weekly football miscellany column, 'Turf Times', due for publication in the Sunnyvale Sentinel tomorrow morning.

• "Frank Gore is really, really good. The Seattle defense is above-average, and he set a team record rushing mark against them.
• "Seneca Wallace is an excellent quarterback, as long as he doesn't throw the ball downfield. 3 picks will not keep you in the NFL, son. His IAYPA for the game: 3.3. That's Kyle Orton territory.
• "Not coincidentally: 49er points off turnovers: 17. My advice: trade Wallace, sign Cordell Stewart.
• "Wallace looked great on passes to his backs, quick slants, and when he had to improvise. Dr. X's pre-game suggestion to Holmgren that the team run the Atlanta single-wing offense for this game was, unwisely, disregarded.
• "Seattle unwisely followed Dr. X's advice to 'blitz a little more' in the 2nd half, leading to several big plays by the 49ers.
• "A reverse late in the first half up 17-0? Stay classy, San Francisco. (Didn't work.)
• "Seattle defensive player of the game: Tatupu, who by our count made every Seahawks tackle of the third quarter.
• "I suspect that some of the 49er Gold Rush cheerleaders are benefiting from the use of non-natural performance-enhancing products, if you know what I mean.

"It was a classic trap game - Seattle came in flat for a road game against a young and improving team, and couldn't get out of the hole before time ran out. That said, when these teams meet again in Seattle, I suspect it will be the 2nd half Seattle team that shows up, and predict a 28-0 outcome for that contest.
