It was a very chippy game, but Carolina really carried that chippy-ness into the second half and their defense pretty much kept the ball away from Cam Newton. You can see plenty of the defense still yapping after making a play, getting a tackle, interrupting a pass play, etc, but the Niners, for the most part in the second half, stayed focused. That penalty against Skuta for sacking Newton was a bogus call and it brings in shades of the Ahmad Brooks-Drew Brees sack. Fortunately, it didn't affect the outcome of the game.
No doubt, Seattle will try to throw the Niners out of their game by doing a lot of that on-field banter. I think the pregame skirmish between Jimmy Graham and the Seahawks really put Graham off his game since he didn't have much going on for him on Saturday. Either way, this game has been anticipated for over a year now and even in preseason. Should be a good one. Go Niners!
