Chances the 49ers are done?

Is it possible the Seahawks adjusted their defense to take the QB run away? To make Kaep beat them with his arm?

The first half looked like the regular season with a running QB, the second half looked like the postseason with a running QB.

In the first half he runs for 100 yards, didn't really make any mistakes, they go into the half with a TD lead. In the second half, he runs for 30 yards, turns the ball over 3 times, they score only once on 6 possessions, and they lose.

The scat QB works against the bad and mediocre teams in the league, but when you play a team with a good defense that can make adjustments and take it away, and which has a decent offense that can punish turnovers - i.e., a playoff team, you have to be able to play QB. So far, he can't.

I think the 49ers are learning that a guy like Kaepernick can win games but is only going to take you so far.

Yeah, that is what I was saying. I'm just too lazy to type all those words.
