On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the show discussing tonight’s Thursday Night game between the Seahawks and 49ers.  The betting public is behind the Niners.  Seattle is 1-4 against the spread this season and 49ers QB Brock Purdy is 7-1 ATS when it’s four points or less. The 49ers are favored by 3.5. Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show to preview tonight’s Seahawks and 49ers game.  Who needs the game more, San Francisco or Seattle? Puck and Mike disagree.Garafolo gives the very latest on the injury situation with Uchenna Nwosu. Mike is hearing that he will be out 6-10 weeks. What is going on with Abe Lucas?  Mike has an update on the Seahawks starting right tackle. Could Christian McCaffrey’s season and career  be over?  Mike says there is a chance. Lastly, where does Bill Belichick end up next season?  What about a reunion with the New York Jets?Puck’s LIVE feed cuts out, but was able to get back up and running after a short hiatus. John Lund, KNBR in San Francisco, who hosts an afternoon sports show and is the 49ers Pre/Post-Game Show host joined Puck to preview the game tonight.  Both teams are banged up, so whoever can whether the injury front the better will most likely win. Lund said that the 49ers receivers have really struggled in man coverage this year, especially Deebo Samuel, who Lund said has “sucked this year” and it has put Brock Purdy in a bad position. He has consistently been leaving the pocket to avoid pressure and give his receivers more time to get open but in doing so he’s been taking unnecessary hits in the process . San Francisco has problems on the defensive line and it’s probably an area where Seattle will attack. What’s the future of Christian McCaffrey?  The outlook doesn’t sound good. Puck wraps up the show with Andy Bunker, from 92.9 The Game, for “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Andy and his wife are raising money for Hurricane Helene release that devastated the Carolina’s, where Andy’s wife is from.  Andy and Puck worked together at KJR in Seattle.  Andy went to high school at Franklin and went to UW. Rundown00:00 Puck starts the show with the betting public backing the 49ers and Brock Purdy’s numbers as a favorite are insane 20:56 Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show…Niners/Seahawks preview.  Uchenna Nwosu out 6-10 weeks.

Who has the advantage.  Seattle should attack their depleted secondary. Deebo Samuel has sucked. Brock Purdy is leaving the pocket too much. The 49ers window is closing?1:30:05 Puck wraps up the show with Andy Bunker, from 92.9 The Game, for “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Andy and his wife are raising money for Hurricane Helene release that devastated the Carolina’s, where Andy’s wife is from.  Andy and Puck worked together at KJR in Seattle.  Andy went to high school at Franklin and went to UW.

John Lund, KNBR, hosts sports talk show and is the pre and post-game show host the the San Francisco 49ers, joins the show to talk about the Thursday night matchup between the Niners and Seahawks. Puck and Lund worked together back in the early 2000’s in Portland at 910 The Fan.  Both teams are dealing with injuries and both teams understand how important the game is tonight. The loser will have an uphill climb to make the playoffs. San Francisco has had trouble with man to man coverage and their receivers not winning those battles, something John said will be a key tonight against Seattle.  Another key will be can the Seahawks move the ball on the ground, something that Arizona was able to do last week against the 49ers. Brock Purdy has had the Seahawks number, but has struggled a bit this season. John tells Puck that he’s had a habit of leaving the pocket early and taking too many unnecessary hits.  Lastly, John wonders if the Niners have put too much emphasis on this game tonight and if they lose how much does it affect the rest of the season?

On the latest Puck the Huskies Podcast, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by former Huskies defensive lineman Jordan Reffett and Huskies sideline reporter Elise Woodward. They discuss Washington’s win over Michigan and how mistake free they played.  Can that formula carry over for the rest of the season.  Will playing at 9am  have a negative affect on them this week against Iowa?  Why does the Big 10 not have any good quarterbacks?  What’s the cause of that?Jordan and Puck debate whether the Huskies should be 6-0. 

We check in with Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times for his weekly offseason look at the Mariners and other off the wall topics that Puck and Divish can come up with.  Best tacos. Best bourbon. Struggling golf games and modern complaints of 40 year olds.  Divish gives his reaction to the John Stanton interview on Mariners.com.  What didn’t he answer?  Is there anything that Stanton could have said that would have appeased the Mariners fan base?  Puck and Divish lament how much damage the Mariners could have made in the playoffs because of the lack of really good starting pitching in the postseason. The Dodgers and Tigers (minus Skubal) have issues in their rotation.  The Mariners team was built for the postseason, however, they are not built for the regular season. 

Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, checks in for his weekly visit to talk all things Seahawks. The frustration with the defense.  The injury to Uchenna Nwosu and the lackluster performance from the team against the Giants. Why did the Seahawks come out so flat against New York and Rob explains why that is such a huge problem. Ryan Grubb didn’t have his best game, obviously, but it’s no time to panic for the offense. Both Puck and Rob feel like the offense will get it going and it will start on Thursday against the 49ers.  Speaking of the 49ers, this Thursday’s game is most likely a must win for both.  Both teams are winless in the conference.  Whoever loses is not out of the playoff race, but it will be a major uphill climb.  Could help be on the way for the Seahawks defense?  Rob wants to kick the tires on former Seahawks player, Jadeveon Clowney.  You agree?

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore for the first thirty minutes where Jim rails against Jedd Fisch and him wearing a visor.  Puck and Jim also make another bet. In fact, they made two of them.  Puck is taking UW +2.5 at Iowa and the 49ers -3.5 against the Seahawks.  Both bets for $100.  Jim has been on a heater and Puck desperately needs a win.  Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, checks in for his weekly visit to talk all things Seahawks.
