Frank Gore is frustrated. And the Pro Bowl running back says it’s time to take it out on the Seattle Seahawks.

The reigning NFC rushing champion has mostly been contained during San Francisco’s first three games as the team’s struggling offense has sunk to the bottom of the NFL rankings.

The 49ers have still managed a 2-1 record to take into Sunday’s battle with Seattle for first place in the NFC West, but Gore is upset that he and the offense aren’t doing their part.

“We won two games and the offense has done nothing,” Gore said Thursday. “We just have to start making plays. Running the ball, throwing the ball everything. It’s on us. We’re not doing what it takes to get to the next level right now as an offense.”

After recording a team-record nine 100-yard games last year, Gore still is looking for his first breakout game of 2007 one month into the season. This could be the week he finds it.Gore rushed for 356 yards in two games against Seattle last year, including a team-record 212 yards when the Seahawks visited San Francisco last November. His efforts led to two of the 49ers’ biggest wins of 2006 and a season sweep of the three-time defending NFC West champions.

“We got big runs on them,” Gore said. “They couldn’t stop me in the open field. We know we can do it because we did it before. We just have to get on the same page and put it all together. It’s going to happen.”
