JUST ENOUGH TO LOSE
Oh, so close! The 49ers gave one away to the Saints with a key fumble, an interception, a missed interception on defense, and a bunch of costly penalties. The 49ers have played better football than both of their opponents this season, despite being beat up with injuries, but this team does not seem to know how to win. That could be due to youth and inexperience, or it could be due to poor coaching, or some combination of the two. The 49ers may learn how to win these close games by the end of the season, but for now they have all the looks of a 5-11 team.
On the bright side, other than one interception, Ken Dorsey had all the looks of a calm and poised NFL quarterback. He took a beating, especially early in the game, but came back strong. In this rebuilding year, don't be surprised if he takes the starting job from Tim Rattay permanently.
