On Wednesday's edition of the Yahoo! SportsTalk Live Blitz, host Jim Kozimor asked Barry Tompkins, Guy Haberman and Lowell Cohn, "Who is most to blame for the 49ers' loss in Seattle?"

Their responses:

Tompkins: "I don't really think there's a particular person or a particular thing you can point to and say, 'That's the difference in the game.' "

Haberman: "The fact that they couldn't run the football. So everybody involved in the run game ... If you told me the 49ers would have a 10-0 lead in this game I'd say, 'Great. Hand the ball to Frank and they're going to the Super Bowl."

Gore carried the ball 11 times for just 14 yards.

Cohn: "It's Harbaugh ... In football it's always the coach's fault. At the end, you're supposed to put your team in a position to win. He did not."

Kozimor interjected and said, "He did ... He had them in a position to win."

Cohn's response: "A bad position. They were in no position to win."

Well 49ers fans -- time for you to weigh in. Who is most to blame for the 49ers' loss in Seattle?
