If it’s any consolation for those watching the Seahawks’ self-imploding 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the players felt the same way fans did afterward.

“We’re pissed,” said receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba of a game in which four turnovers led to 21 San Francisco points and negated an effort turned in by the defense and special teams that was good enough to win.

“We wanted this one. And like I said, defense, special teams, they deserved this one and it sucks as an offense, myself, feel like we let them down.”

Indeed they did. Two Sam Darnold interceptions, two fumbles by running backs and a critical late drop by Smith-Njigba all factored into a bumbling offensive effort.

And now the Seahawks will be fighting uphill to get past the 49ers in the NFC West race. Fortunately, there’s a lot of season left to make that climb. But it’s hardly the spot where they wanted to be.

On to the grades.

The Sam Darnold that many questioned a year ago if he might be too mistake-prone to ever win a Super Bowl unfortunately may be back, even if — hopefully — just temporarily. Darnold has thrown five interceptions in three games after tossing two more against the 49ers and could have easily thrown a third when he tossed a pass into double coverage to Rashid Shaheed in the end zone in the second quarter. All of the picks may not be all Darnold’s fault. But it starts with him.

Grade: D

The Seahawks had only one lost fumble by a running back last season. They have four in five games after the fumbles by Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. You can maybe chalk up Wilson’s to a really good play by San Francisco’s Fred Warner. But the Holani end-zone fumble seemed doomed from the start. The Seahawks also had just 68 yards rushing on 24 attempts. They are likely to again have to go with Wilson and Holani against Denver on Thursday, with coach Mike Macdonald saying Sunday that as of now they are not expecting Zach Charbonnet to play against the Broncos.

Grade: F

Until the drop on the final series, Smith-Njigba was again the standout player on offense with five receptions for 102 yards and a TD. But the last drop was a killer, and the Seahawks got just a combined four receptions for 38 yards from the rest of their receiving corps. It’s hard to blame Cooper Kupp for not getting the needed yards on the last fourth down — the 49ers helped disrupt that play from the start — but that he didn’t typified the day all around.

Grade: C

AJ Barner had three receptions on five targets for 20 yards, but that was it for this group statistically. And the blocking was subpar most of the day from everyone up front. Elijah Arroyo was the intended target on Darnold’s interception to start the third quarter and still has just one reception this season.

Grade: D

Simply a rough go for this group most of the day as Darnold was sacked five times and there was not much push on running plays. The longest gain on a conventional running play was 9 yards (Smith-Njigba was credited with a 16-yard rush on a backward pass). The line didn’t provide much resistance on the play that resulted in the Holani fumble and 49ers touchdown.

Grade: D

The interior played well most of the day, especially Byron Murphy II, who had two sacks — the first two of the season against the 49ers and QB Brock Purdy — and combined for a tackle-for-a-loss that forced the 49ers to kick a field goal on their final drive and gave the Seahawks a chance for the comeback. Leonard Williams shook off his ankle injury and had a QB hit as did Jarran Reed. The only real nit to pick is the end, when Purdy got more time than he had earlier in the game, as the 49ers rallied with 11 straight points to pull out the win.

Grade: B-plus

The Seahawks rush got consistent pressure on Purdy for most of three quarters. Uchenna Nwosu had four tackles and seemed the most active of the players on the edge, and he drew a holding call on Trent Williams late in the first quarter. DeMarcus Lawrence’s hard rush forced Purdy up into the pocket and into the hands of Murphy for a sack at the end of the first quarter.

Grade: B-plus

Ernest Jones IV had nine tackles, a sack and a pass defense and didn’t retaliate when head-butted by Dre Greenlaw during the sideline scuffle in the second quarter. Drake Thomas shook off a second-quarter ankle injury and forced a Deebo Samuel fumble in the third quarter.

Grade: A

Ty Okada returned to play alongside Julian Love on the back end, and the Seahawks appeared to be more cohesive on defense for much of the day. Nick Emmanwori again got a lot of work as a rusher and had two QB hits.

Grade: B

There was one glaring storyline here: The 49ers going time and again to receiver Mike Evans when he was matched up on Josh Jobe, especially as the game wore on. Jobe allowed 112 yards and a TD in coverage against Evans, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, the most for any Seahawks defender in the Mike Macdonald era. Nehemiah Pritchett played another solid game with a third-quarter interception as well as a forced fumble on a punt.

Grade: C

Pritchett’s hit and Eric Saubert’s recovery of a muffed punt by Jacob Cowing in the first quarter that led to a TD highlighted what was a solid game for the special teams. Jason Myers hit five field goals in five attempts — tied for the third-most in his career — and is 10 of 10 for the season. Rashid Shaheed’s 39-yard return helped set up the tying field goal in the fourth quarter. 49ers returner Jordan James, however, averaged 30.8 yards on four kickoffs.

Grade: B-plus

Macdonald again crafted another winning defensive game plan against the 49ers. San Francisco came into the game averaging an NFL-high 6.8 yards per play and managed just 4.8. And the coaches obviously did the job of calming things down during a tough halftime when down 21-13 following the fumble recovery for a TD. Some may criticize that sequence, but San Francisco having three timeouts made it tricky for trying to run out the clock on the half. The Seahawks had used their time outs hoping to get the ball and score. The play call wasn’t risky other than that the 49ers obviously sold out for a running play there. The offense has some obvious personnel issues with its running game as well as a lack of consistent production in the passing game from anybody other than Smith-Njigba. Those are issues that must be addressed and fixed quickly.

Grade: C
