Quite the battle early on

(29,322 posts)Carry-over from Oakland but isn't moving the ball down-field in huge chunks like he did for the Raiders.
Well, he's getting big chunks in this game.

(29,322 posts)Gore is eating alive a top 3 run D on this drive. Looking like that fumble is going to bite 'em in the ass.
Great drive by SF 90 yards or so, used up a lot of clock. Now AZ needs 2 scores.
Ah, Jeez another fumble. Just hurry up and hold them to a FG or something.

(29,322 posts)Don't know why this loss burns me. Games @ Candlestick are typically forfeits.
Nice win Niners.

(31,172 posts)I thought they were going to pull it out. One turnover too many, I guess.
Watching that fourth quarter drive by the 49ers I was reminded of Mike Singletary in 2009, who as headcoach said, to the effect, "We're going to run the ball even when they know we're going to run the ball," and the team drafted guard Mike Iupati and tackle Anthony Davis in the first round. He was a few years off.
18 plays, 9:00+ minutes. Made the difference.
Good game.
