It was a pretty close game through out most of the game on Sunday but the San Francisco 49ers lost to the New England Patriots 30-21. The victory was the Patriots first ever win in San Francisco. With the loss, the 49ers are now 2-3 on the season.

Three interceptions by J.T. O’Sullivan really hurt the offense. He finished the game with just 130 yards on 14 of 29 throwing. That simply isn’t going to get the job done against the Patrios. This was really a game that the niners could have one had they not made the tournovers and got some stops on third downs by the defense.

Patrick Willis led the team with 18 tackles as he was flying all over the place. I was dissappointed in the play of Walt Harris and Nate Clements as they let Randy Moss get deep and score on a 66 yard pass in the first half. The two veterans back there know better then to let Moss catch the ball deep.

Once again the running game was terrible. Frank Gore only rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries. Gore simply isn’t getting the holes that he needs to and is struggling at making guys miss at the line of scrimmage.

Issac Bruce led the 49ers with two touchdown receptions as he finished the game with three catches for 49 yards. You can tell right there how bad the 49ers offense played as Bruce had just three catches in the game.

I really expect another loss for the 49ers this Sunday as they will take on the Philadelphia Phillies. I don’t think the 49ers have enough offense to keep up with the Eagles. I predict the eagles will win this game by 10 points. I don’t want to admit that, but it is just my opinion with how the team is playing right now.

What do you think? Leave us a comment and let us know your prediction or what the 49ers need to change to start winning these games that they should be.

    It was a tough game to loss because the 49ers really should have won that game. The three picks by J.T. really hurt the offense as did the lack of a running game like you stated.

    This offense still needs a lot of help that is for sure and I think it starts with the offensive line. Gotta establish the running game.
