The San Francisco 49ers are a mess. Their offense is inconsistent, their defense can’t hold onto 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, they only scored 17 points at home due to poor defense. San Francisco is now 5-5 on the season and their playoff hopes are fading, especially with their toughest games coming up.

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 that be a problem, especially for a team that struggles to score touchdowns in the red zone? (Update: It was a huge deal.)
• A three-and-out is not the way we wanted the offense to start.
• If the 49ers can’t stop the Seattle run game, they could lose this game. We’ll see how that goes.
• Nice work by Dee Winters on DK Metcalf.

• Enter Jordan Mason! Why isn’t he getting more carries? Christian McCaffrey is clearly not himself right now. Give Mason more details.
• That was an excellent ride for Brock Purdy and the 49ers. He was four for four and they even scored a touchdown in the red zone.
• Jauan Jennings is already dominating. He has four catches in the first quarter.
• Purdy was not good on the next ride. He just threw an interception that gave Seattle great field position.

• Another special teams mistake. This time it was a Mason fumble that luckily bounced out of bounds.
• So far, the 49ers can’t run the ball with McCaffrey.
• The 49ers are beating themselves again. So many mistakes.
• Jennings offsets the holding penalty with a big third-down catch.
• Solid first half for the 49ers defense. Not so much because of the foul. I think Kittle is important.
• Isaac Yiadom with a big interception to start the second half.

• I don’t think Kittle has to worry about Eric Saubert taking shots at him. He’s not well.
• Aaron Banks is having a terrible game. He wasn’t that good the rest of the season either. He will probably play his last games with this team.
• The 49ers continue to shoot themselves in the foot. They just aren’t that good this year.
• Jake Moody makes his first field goal attempt since becoming the game-winner a week ago. Good for him.
• Bosa with his second sack, but it looks like he aggravated that hip injury.
• Now the defense is suddenly playing poorly. That’s the problem when the offense doesn’t score. The defense cannot carry the team the entire game.
• I’m old enough to remember Deebo Samuel breaking tackles every time he touched the ball. He hasn’t done that yet this season.
• Jennings is so good! He might be my favorite player.

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

• What a tremendous defensive display by the 49ers.

• Unfortunately, the 49ers offense couldn’t close it out. So now the defense has to try.
• The 49ers defense gets very little pass rush without Bosa.
• Ricky Pearsall was eliminated from this game. He had no catches. I realize he’s a rookie and has been through a lot, but the 49ers need their first-round draft pick to step up.

The defense isn’t holding up and the 49ers lost the game to a terrible Seahawks team. San Francisco has now squandered Jennings’ best two games as a pro (three if you count the Super Bowl). They will probably lose in Green Bay and Buffalo. And this loss dims their post-season hopes. Next up for the scrappy 49ers is a trip to face the Packers.
