Another season as came and gone however the 49ers do have their heads up high after beating the Washington Redskins 27-24 on Sunday afternoon to finish off the 2008 season. With the win the team improved to 5-4 after Coach Singletary took over the team and finished the season with a 7-9 overall record.

Joe Nedney booted a 39-yard field goal as time expired to give the 49ers the victory. The late drive was beautiful as Shaun Hill and the offense had the Redskins defense confused pretty much the entire drive. Hill did a great job of time management and hitting his open receivers as well.

Hill went 21-for-30 for 245 yards, rushing for an early score and throwing a TD pass while remaining unbeaten in five games as a starter at home. Jason Hill caught the nine-yard touchdown pass from Hill in the fourth quarter. The only other touchdown for the 49ers came in the third quarter when DeShaun Foster hit paydirt from one yard out.

Frank Gore returned from a two-game injury absence to rush for 58 yards, wrapping up his franchise-record third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. It’s too bad Gore had to miss time late in the season with injuries but overall he had a pretty good season for the team.

Now everyone will be paying attention to see who the team hires for a offensive coordinator as Mike Martz will be let go all indications say. Once that is done, the team will start looking forward to the upcoming NFL draft where the 49ers will be picking tenth overall.
