I finally tourtred myself and watched the full game (it showed up under my youtube recommended videos).
One thing that stood out to me is that the 49ers defense was awesome, but it was their D-Line that controlled the entire game. Their D-line made our offensive line (which had 3 pro-bowlers) look below average & Brees never really looked comfortable in the pocket.
I know i'm wrong for wishing this but I would have loved to see someone get a few tough blocks on Whitner & Gholdson.
The QB run by Smith was an amazing call. It was 3 & 10 and no one saw it coming at all. What I also found interesting was that on the niners final drive, they had a timeout but was determined to score a TD instead of settling for a FG. So somehow they must have been extremely confident in their offense vs our defense (which done well for most of the game).
As previously mentioned, it was the end of our powerhouse offense days, but what's also interesting is how it was the begining of the Harbaugh era, which amazingly went into self-destruct. I personally thought that we were bad for going into self-destruct after the 2013 season but the 49ers should go into a history book for their terrible management.
