Seattle back to practice after loss to 49ers
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks returned to practice for the first time since their 13-6 loss to San Francisco and after 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh made comments about the physical play of Seattle's defensive backs.
Seattle cornerback Brandon Browner said Monday that Harbaugh's claims were "obnoxious" considering the 49ers won the game.
Harbaugh said Friday that he intended to speak with the league about what he felt was overly physical play from the Seahawks' defensive backs that made it difficult for receivers Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss and Kyle Williams to break free.
Browner said he played no different than any other week. Seattle coach Pete Carroll, after some stronger remarks on his radio show early Monday, was more diplomatic later in the day, saying he didn't see any reason for it to be taken to the league.

The only reason Tate dropped those passes is because of me. I picked him up for my Fantasy League and played him. My bad! On another note, he said this after the game, "It's uncharacteristic of me. But I'm not discouraged at all. I'm going to continue to work hard, and I'll be back next week". I hope someone tells him that 'game day' is the time to work hard. Catching all the balls in practice doesn't count as hard work.
I'm a 49er fan, so take my comment with a grain of salt, but I live here and watch the Hawks play a lot. Yes, the d-backs got away with a lot of holding. Having said that, I don't fault them for playing physically if the refs aren't going to call penalties on them. Â
LOL @ the haters. Â Why do you think 7-9 is what we are looking at? Â With the way the defense is playing we'll get 8-10 wins. Â
Hey whats all the fuss, a 7 and 9 season in considered "winning" to northwest sports fan..
Wilson threw like a boss all game, our receivers need to CATCH the balls. pete doesnt know offense...thats why we came back to beat the pats, we beat the cowboys and cam newton. flynn is no god. wilson all the way. once we learn to catch a well thrown ball we will be ok.
I sure hope they practice throwing the ball. Russell Wilson looks like he has been practicing with Keith Price this year. The second half against the 49er's was worse than nails on a chalk board. I guess what they say is true, Pete doesn't know offense.....Here's a stat: Seattle's 16.6 PPG are ranked 31st in the league....If you think we are making the playoffs with that, your delusional and probably drinking the Russell Wilson cool aide that pistol Pete is shoving down our throats..Can Pete pull the 7-9 trifecta? My money is on yes
