A Tough Sunday Night in Arizona

So the final whistle was about an hour ago and I'm still devastated. I don't think I've ever seen a better game... well yeah I have, the last Monday Night game where we actually made the comeback. ARI 29, SF 24. I'm disappointed in the scoreboard, but not so much with the team or head coach. Shaun Hill wasn't Montana-like, but he played an o.k game until he started to force it at the end. 2 touchdowns say alot, but so do 2 interceptions. In my opinion, if he'd been starting the whole season, tonight would've been another story. All in all, Hill impressed me with his composure for the most part, but alot of the credit has to be given to the receiver core. Jason Hill had an unbelievable night for someone who had only 30yds receiving before tonight. He grabbed 7 for 84 and it would have been more if not for a horrible out-of-bounds call by the refs. Morgan and Davis did not play as well as I'd expected but they both showed up and the feel good moment of the night was Davis and Singletary embracing after his touchdown grab. Frank Gore was unstoppable the whole night until he slipped on that touchdown run. I admit, the refs made the right call in that situation, but I wish that the refs would've messed up just one more time. The defense did... an average job. They shut down the run, but what else would you expect from the likes of Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes. As for the coverage team, they were torn apart by the likes of Warner and Co. There's a big need for help in the secondary as was made apparent tonight. Even though they were destroying us through the air, we stayed in the game thanks to a partly more conservative offense. Gore got 23 carries which is only his second 20+ carry game. He is our biggest weapon, we need to find a better way to utilize him. All things considered, I'm happy with the team's effort and I'm positive they left it all out on the field.
