SF is playing much better than earlier in the year, no doubt. On the other hand, we keep finding a way to win. How many quarters has it been now that we haven't allowed a TD? That kind of defense wins games!!!

If the offense stayed on the field for more than 60 seconds, then our defense wouldn't be collapsing on this drive right now. Three and out, jeez.

It's been happening all day. It's amazing that we have held the lead.

We need a score here. I'm not comfortable with a 5-point lead at this point.

I agree. We need at least 3 points on this drive.

I know SF has been getting positive yardage all day, but there's nothing wrong with a bend don't break defense. D has stopped them cold, and made some big plays to pump themselves up. But now, the offense has slowed to a complete stop, and it's mistake time. Because when you're exhausted, like players like Crowder are right now, you're going to give up a big play. And on the offensive side of the ball, Pennington's frustrated, and watch for him to force things on this drive, and hopefully there won't be an INT or a fumble from a SF blitz. This drive is key right now. We could actually lose this game, and the last momentum is on this drive.

Another empty backfield?! We're not that good at passing the ball that we can remove the threat of the run.

Three and out again. Boy, they really miss Camarillo. Now the D has to drag back on the field. Look for a TD by SF on this drive, unless we force a turnover. We're going to lose this game unless our offensive coordinator can come up with something on our last drive. Where is Ginn? And why can't we throw anything over the middle all of a sudden?

What a play by Cobbs on special teams!

We just need our D to hang on a little longer. It's one of those days for our offense. Luckily, we don't do this every week. This isn't Wanny's Dolphins!!

We need some fresh legs on D right now, and we don't have them.

Somehow we have to get to their QB, because if not, they're going to complete passes.

3rd and long - we send a huge blitz and can't get to the QB.

We blitz on 3rd down and Hill still has plenty of time? Refs need to look to see who's holding.

Finally! An incompletion stops the drive.

We need a LITTLE ball control now! Can we do it? If so, we could run out the clock. I say give the Wildcat a try...just once.

The run has been abandoned in this game. Our line is getting no push when we try to run.

Great effort by the D! I can't believe they held it together and mustered up enough effort to stuff them. Blitzes were key, can't let them complete those long passes.

Pennington's turn now. The thing is, we've got our whole playbook, we haven't been on the field long enough to use up all the stuff we game planned against them with. Should have plenty of plays up our sleeve.

Drop by Ginn. Great. Well, we tried Ginn.

Nice all montequi!! First down out of the Cat formation.

Hey!! Was I right...or what?? 16 yards!!!

Montequi they heard you.

Our longest play of the half, and first 1st down in 3 drives.

Thank you Ronnie Brown. What a run for another 18 yards.

RONNIE!!!! Ball Control!! That's what it's all about!

Jesus, I didn't think Ronnie had that much pep! lol. Got by that first man and he was gone.

Why did we wait until this drive to run the ball?

I think because the line was having problems, with our injuries, and they had to move Satele to guard. But must have worked because we made good yardage.

Hey, I think all we need is a fg to beat them, even if they get the ball back.

That was a bad call. We needed to make that 3rd down, we needed three points.

Dammit.

I hate losing 2 yards on a 3rd down run.

And we miss the stinkin' kick!
