Did we not also drive down the field to go up by a score?

The problem was that we scored to quickly and they didn't leave enough time on the clock

All ur doing is blaming an entire game on a 4 minute defensive span

This is what's wrong with fans and the media. You put so much emphasis on such a small portion of the game and ignore such a huge part that actually had a greater impact on the outcome.

There's no hope for ppl that think like that

You can blame an entire game on a 4 minute defensive span, because I'm sorry, but I don't care what happened all game long, If you are up by 3 with 1:04 on the clock, then a NFL standard defense should be able to stop one of the worst offenses in the league scoring. The niners did not have a good offense, and they walked down the field on us.

The offense turned the ball over, but they righted all wrongs and put us in a position to win, at the end: They put the defense in a position to seal the deal, and an offense should be allowed to do that. I don't want to watch football where the offense can't amend for a turnover, have the defense give up 5 big plays, and then the offense be blamed.

5 turnovers doesn't matter: When we were in a position to win the game. The San Francisco lost rests almost entirely on the defense. You've got to be able to rely on the other units within a team to sometimes seal it, because you won't always be able to run down the clock and kneel it out.
