coverage mistake...the linebackers are outmatched with Vernon Davis responsibilities

This Niner defense up front is beating up our OL. Our D did it's job early on, but those guys must be getting gassed.

If 49ers go on a TD drive to start the 2nd half, I'm not overly optimistic about a comeback. This weather isn't conducive to quick scores.

Down 14 points is going to be difficult to come back from against the niners D. I really hope they come out firing in the second half or its going to be a horrible week!!

0 receptions by Welker in the 1st half. Think that pretty much says it all.

I have seen this same deep throw interception so many times the past 2 years. We need a real freaking deep threat. Every top team has one, except us.

Carlos Rogers made illegal contact several times on that play before the interception. It went uncalled even though it was clear that Rogers altered Welker's path.

Thank god there are no dual threats in the AFC.

The sad fact is our defense does better vs. Peyton/Schaub than Wilson/Kaepernick.......

It'd be interesting to see how the game would be if the 3 blatant PIs NE haven't got were called and the BS on Talib wasn't.

One of them would have put the Pats on the 49ers 1 yard line.

Same with the 3 drops, if those were caught how would the game look?

This game is still winnable, the 49ers haven't done anything special.

Hopefully they make an adjustment that allows them to hold onto the dang ball.

49ers now will just wait for Brady to throw 25 times in a row.
