The San Francisco 49ers were looking good through three quarters and part of the fourth quarter however the visiting Philadelphia Eagles did all the scoring in the final quarter and won 40-26. The 49ers gave up 23 points in the 4th quarter as they made costly mistakes and let things get away from them.
J.T. O’Sullivan threw for 199 yards but zero touchdowns and was picked off twice. The costly one that sealed the win for the Eagles came with 38 seconds left in the game. Juqua Parker returned the int 55 yards for a touchdown.
It was nice to see Frank Gore to rush for over 100 yards. I have mentioned before that if Gore could get over the 100 yard mark, the 49ers should win the game. I was wrong with that prediction but Gore did everything he could do to help out the team as he rushed for 101 yards on 19 carries.
Vernon Davis finally had a breakout game as well. Davis caught six balls for 75 yards and awesome as he broke tackles on the plays to pick up extra yards.
Patrick Willis once again led the team with tackles as he finished the game with eight. Takeo Spikes who was cut by the Eagles before joining the 49ers had a good game with seven tackles and one interception.
That is now three straight losses for the niners. The offense isn’t playing that good and the defense is giving up a lot of points as well. Those two things don’t equal wins that is for sure. The 49ers will now be travelling to New York to take on the Giants this coming Sunday. Expect another loss for the niners.
