Game will come down on Akers legs.

i think they kill enough clock before handing it back to SF.

Here's what I DON'T like about how the Falcons are defending the read option. A great majority of the time the ball is going to Gore and not ONCE in those times did the Falcons hit Kaepernick. That is just SOOOO dumb. EVERY chance you get to hit the QB on an option play you have to hit him. The player assigned to the QB should be dropping the QB every time they run that play

The other thing the Falcons should be doing is switching off the option responsibilities Every now and then they should have a DB rotate up on the QB contain and crush the RB with the DE. Every HS coach knows this without thinking. I'm disappointed that nether defensive strategy has made it down from HS to the NFL

BTW- the NFL CANNOT allow a PF when someone just slaps a QB in the head while following through trying to block the pass. Kaepernick didn't even know he was hit. It might be the letter of the rule, but SOME common sense has to prevail

Common sense and authority rarely go hand-in-hand

If ATL can manage it just right, he may not even get a chance

Yeah BUT they do, we'll see it shortly in the next game. Question is will they call it on Kruger, Suggs or Ngata?

QB's wear skirts, this isn't football like it was meant to be..... might as well be 2 hand touch.

Can't tell if you worded that that way on purpose or if it was an awesome Freudian slip about something running down Akers' leg.

Congratulations to the 49ers. When it mattered, the Falcons choked it away.

 

[Delicate Genius]

What a chokejob.

 

[shmessy]

Ummmm.....how was that NOT PI/holding on #53??????

Congratulations to the 49ers. When it mattered, the Falcons choked it away.

And then some, pathetic squandering THAT lead.

 

[karguy85]

Horrible 3rd and 4th down playcalling

 

[randomk1]

Looked like Bowman got away with some

I expected the 49ers to win. Didn't expect Atlanta to come out on fire. But 0 2nd half points will lose the game for you almost every time. SF made the adjustments and the plays in the 2nd half, Atlanta chocked it away when it counted.

Too bad for Julio Jones. Whale of a game.

If the Pats win this afternoon, I would have much preferred the ATL, for that reason, don't think they have the fortitude yet.

Very close to roughing the passer on the previous play.

Looked like PI to me too. And pretty obvious at that.
