    Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a long night--on his birthday--against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks' first drive of the game ended with Smith throwing an interception.

    Cameras caught Smith on the sideline banging his head against a Microsoft tablet after throwing his second interception of the night in the fourth quarter. That pick would lead to a 49ers touchdown, which put the Seahawks down 29-17 with 6:20 to play in the game.

    Smith had another outburst on the final drive of the Thursday night contest. Following a short pass to Noah Fant for 11 yards, with no timeouts, the Seahawks receiver chose not to run out of bounds. It would take nearly 15 seconds before Smith could spike the ball to stop the clock with 20 seconds remaining.

    The Seahawks could have been speedier in their execution of the hurry-up offense.

    Amazon broadcast cameras caught Smith yelling at his teammates, "What the F--- are you all doing?"

    NFL fans responded on social media to the video of Smith yelling at his teammates. Many weren't impressed with the 34-year-old's performance on Thursday night and didn't think he should be lecturing the offense after throwing the Seahawks' best chance to win the game to 49ers cornerback Renardo Green a few possessions earlier.

    "What you doing bro throwing the ball to the other team," wrote one poster.

    "He throwing pics and is mad asking what they doing," asked another.

    "Could ask you the same question brother," responded one fan.

    "He got alot of nerve," wrote another.

    "It's more like what are you doing geno," taunted a fan.

    "This man stunk up the place the entire game, on his birthday I might add and now he wants to Lock in lmao," posted another.

    The 49ers would wind up defeating the Seahawks 36-24. After starting the season 3-0, Seattle has dropped three straight games. Smith and company will play the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7.
