Geno Smith's rebuke of his teammates after losing to the 49ers tragically backfires

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith experienced a challenging birthday during a game against the San Francisco 49ers, where his struggles became a focal point of the night.

The game began on a sour note for Smith, who threw an interception on the Seahawks' first drive.

As the night progressed, Smith's frustration became evident. Cameras captured him banging his head against a Microsoft tablet after throwing his second interception in the fourth quarter.

This turnover directly led to a touchdown for the 49ers, putting the Seahawks in a 29-17 hole with just 6:20 left in the game.

Geno Smith exploded at his teammates after yet another mistake

Tensions flared during the final drive when Smith reacted explosively after a short to tight end Noah Fant. With no timeouts remaining, Fant did not run out of bounds, wasting precious seconds. Smith was unable to stop the clock quickly enough, taking nearly 15 seconds to spike the ball, leaving just 20 seconds on the clock. His frustration boiled over as he yelled at his teammates.

"What the F--- are you all doing?" Smith exclaimed.

The backlash from NFL fans on social media was swift, with many questioning Smith's leadership amid his performance. Comments ranged from pointed criticisms to other remarks suggesting Smith had a nerve to call-out others for making mistakes after his up-and-down career.

"What you doing bro throwing the ball to the other team?" one fan commented on Twitter.

"It's more like what are you doing, Geno," were the thoughts of another fan.

In the end, the Seahawks fell to the 49ers, 36-24, marking their third consecutive loss after starting the season with three wins. Smith and his teammates will aim to regroup as they prepare for their next matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, but are now in a difficult position after losing a key divisional matchup which could have playoff implications later in the campaign.
