The San Francisco 49ers jumped out to a 6-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys but after that it was all Cowboys as they went onto beat the 49ers 35-22 on Sunday afternoon. Twenty-two points in the second quarter by the Cowboys sealed the deal as the 49ers could not get back into the game. Simply put, you can’t kick field goals inside the 5 yard line and expect to beat the Cowboys with Romo at quarterback.

Shaun Hill had a decent game for the 49ers as he completed 21 of 33 passes for 303 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The one interception came in the endzone however and it proved to be very costly.

Hill hit Issac Bruce eight times for 125 yards and one touchdown. DeShaun Foster caught the other td pass from Hill as he scored in the 4th quarter and a nine yard reception.

Frank Gore was pretty much non existant in the game as he had 26 yards on 14 carries. He could not run against the Cowboys defense as the 49ers offensive line played terrible against the run.

The defense played terrible as they allowed Terrell Owens to catch 7 balls for 213 yards and one touchdown. Nate Clements was playing too far off of Owens the entire game and he pretty much got abused. I will say that a couple of the plays weren’t Nate’s fault as Romo had to hit Owens while scrambling after the plays had broken down.

The San Francisco 49ers were finally able to break their losing streak as they beat up on the St. Louis Rams 35-16 on Sunday afternoon. The 49ers scored 28 points in a breakout second quarter and then held on for the victory to improve their record to 3-7 on the year.

Shaun Hill was 15 of 20 for  213 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Hill threw two touchdowns and ran for another one in that 28 point second quarter. Hill did not make a costly mistake like throwing interceptions in the endzone like we have seen earlier in the year so that was nice to see.

Frank Gore led the way on the ground with 18 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Gore’s longest run of the day was a 37 yard run. He did have one fumble however that proved costly as the 49ers probably would have scored a touchdown on th drive.

Byran Johnson and Vernon Davis both caught one touchdown each from Hill.

I like the fact that the 49ers won, but the second half could have been played a lot better. The team was held scoreless by the Rams defense which should never happen. I don’t know if the team just relaxed in the second half or what the problem was but they can’t do that against other teams and expect to hang on and win the games.

Up next will be a tough game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys now have Tony Romo back at quarterback and they just beat the Washington Redskinds on the road so the 49ers are going to have to play lights out to pull out a victory.

The San Francisco 49ers played a lot better then most expected on Monday night against the St. Louis Cardinals but they still came up short in the game as they lost 29-24. Michael Robinson was stopped short of the goal line as the 49ers attempted to score the go ahead touchdown as time expired.

The last two plays of the game everyone will question with out a doubt. With no time outs left, the 49ers ran the ball the last two plays of the game. Frank Gore was stopped short the first time and then it seemed like a bone headed playcall on the final play of the game as Robinson was stopped short. It sure would have been nice to have one of those time outs left…

Shaun Hill was pretty terrible in my opinion as he only completed 19 of 40 passes and was picked of twice. He was actually picked off more then twice but those plays were called back due to penalties on the Cardinals. Hill made some very stupid mistakes with the ball and it really hurt the team. He did throw two touchdown passes as Josh Morgan and Vernon Davis caught td’s in the second quarter but it still wasn’t the showing we were hoping for out of Hill.

Frank Gore ran the ball 23 times for 99 yards to lead the niners rushing attack. Gore’s longest run of the night was a 20 yarder.

Patrick Willis once again led the defense with 11 tackles. It’s too bad the team still gave up almost 30 points as they just can’t shut down the opposing teams offense.

Allen Rossum had the play of the game for the 49ers when he took the opening kickoff back 104 yards for a touchdown.

The 49ers will now have a short week as they will play again on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
