They were down 21-0 to the Bills last year, ran off 49 unanswered. Pretty sure the were down by more than 14 to them this year as well in the first game.

Granted, the 49ers aren't the Bills, but it doesn't mean they can't get a W out of this. Lot of work though.

The lack of speed at WR is very evident

49ers are just too good. Cannot stop them on defense and pats cannot move the ball against the offense. Don't see a comeback here. Bad loss because the makes them the 3rd seed now which means no bye week.

Also almost a 2 hours first half. Good god.

Someone needs to nail kap in the chest to let him know life isn't perfect. Unfortunately you need a pass rush for that

It ain't over until it's over.

Sure, I can see that happen.... If the Niners decide to shower and head back home instead of taking the field in the second half. Yeah, I can see us winning.

Time for Bill to use his Evil Sith powers to motivate the team.

That was absolutely brutal... but props to the 49ers, they came to play. It hasn't been a matter of us playing poorly as us being outplayed... so far.

Here's the thing. I think we could be doing a lot worse than to be down by 14 at this point, and absolutely think we're still in it. Maybe they go into the third and continue to lay this awful offensive egg. But I really believe the Patriots are the most mentally tough team in the league. I've seen them come from absurd deficits too many times to not think they have it in them, even if they are facing the best D in the NFL.

This game is just a couple of successful O drives and a big play on D from being a completely different affair.

Tke Pats need to stop dropping passes and going three and out...if they can't, they lose..it's
simple.

Which means that NE shouldn't have been charged the Time out. But Hochuli fubared that.

We been "exposed"!

We'll see. It ain't over, and it's just one game. Part of me won't mind terribly if we're suddenly no longer considered better than the rest of the NFL with a big target on us.
