It was an ugly game for the SanFrancisco 49ers last night but they found a way to pull out the win during the last two minutes of the ball game.  Arnaz Battle scored the winning touchdown on a end-around from one yard out with 22 seconds left in the game to give the 49ers the win.  Battle previously fumbled the ball at the one yard line after making a bigtime catch and the ball was recovered in the endzone by the niners.  Per rules, the ball must be put at the point where the fumble occured since it was recovered by the same team in the endzone. 

Another big play of the final drive was Alex Smith on a 4th and 1 when a pass play broke down and Smith scrambled down the sideline for a 25 yard gain.  Smith who finished the game 15-31 and 126 yards said that he knew he didn’t play well but he was happy with the final drive and picking up the win.

It was a ugly win yeah, but give the team credit for coming back and winning. That is all that matters is the W, not how pretty it was.

I was very impressed with the defense last night and especially Patrick Willis who looked great making his first career start.  For a rookie to fly around the field and make tackles like that, it is very impressive.

The 49ers secondary also played pretty good through the game.  They had a few penalties but you have to expect those in the first few games of the year.  Walt Harris and Nate Clements were big time signees that really helped out the team last night.  Well worth the money!

Lets hope the young team grows from this win, and learns from their mistakes.  Hopefully they come out and the offense plays a lot better against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
