all in all, the niners looked better then the previous three games...there were sign that san francisco actually has an offense that is capable of sustaining 6 or more play drives. There were some bright spots for the niners to improve on, the stretching the field worked to some point but they pretty much neglected the whole run game. It could be that Gore rolled his ankle and they didnt want him to get hurt...I heard on the radio he might not start next week against the Saints.
Play calling was better than it has been but lack of execution and discepline killed the niners. That play that Osi picked up the fumble and ran it for a TD was all Trent Dilfer. The play was called to be a 3 step drop and to get the ball out quickly but Dilfer decided hes payton manning and do his own thing and went with a seven step drop that led to a sack, fumble and touchdown for the giants...
It sucks we lost and it wasn't close again but atleast there was some improvement, lelie gave em a spark, Davis shoulda had that catch for a TD, Dilfer over throws screen passes...with Alex Smith coming back and hopefully Franks injury not being serious...for the first time in a while I can say Niners have a good chace of winning next week's game...
