This was a game that was definitely a tale of two halves for
the 49ers. Now with that being said the part of the team that we are talking
about is what will surprise you. I say that only because it was the defense not
the offense that seemed to come out…. I don’t know if it was cocky or lost. The
49ers defense looked like the best in the NFL in the 1st half
against the best offense and possibly best QB in the NFL in Brady and the
Patriots. They forced 3 TO’s and had Brady and the Patriots Backs on the run
holding them to under 100 yards in both rushing and passing categories. Then came the 2nd half where the
49ers were up 31-3 at one point and the 49ers defense proceeded to give Brady
and the boys whatever they wanted as they scorched the 49ers defense for 28pts
in a matter of 18 game minuets to tie the game up before the offense came in
and was able to put up more points and seal the game….
Game #14 – San
Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots
Offense: A- (C.Kaepernick
14/25 216yrds 4TD 1INT, F.Gore 21/83yrds, M.Crabtree 7/107yrds 2TD): I am
going to have to give it to the kid Kaepernick he was impressive. He really
only made one bad throw all game and that was the INT to McCourty. There were a
couple of mistakes made by the young QB that disturbed me the fumbles were the
big thing for me, 3 of them to be exact. But those will hopefully be corrected
by the playoffs with practice and film study time. Overall though anytime you
throw 4 TD’s in a game you have truly done something special. Frank Gore
chipped in with a solid 75+ yard game and Crabtree excelled as he normally dose
when given the ball on a regular basis. Heck even Randy Moss got in on the
action scoring on a big pass play reminiscent of the days of Brady/Moss. Expect
big things from this combo come the playoffs….
Defense: B- (Passing
Yrds All. 443yrds, Rushing Yrds All. 95yrds, 4TO): The defense looked
amazing in the 1st half making Brady move around in the pocket and
make a lot of bad passes resulting in a couple of picks as well as forcing a
couple of fumbles out of the running backs. But in the 2nd Half they
got lit up like a x-mas tree. Brady passed for almost 400 in the half and also
threw for 3 TD’s and ran for 1. It was the most pathetic I had seen the 49ers
defense look in a lot of years. Now given the fact that it was Tom Brady I give
them a little bit of lee way there. But at the end of the day the defense held
when it mattered after the offense gave them back a 10 point lead. So at the
end of the day the team got the win. So all is forgiven but as my mother used
to say “you better not let it happen again”…
Final Score: 49ers
41, Patriots 31
Overall: B+
