These starts are awful.
What's the deal with this? So frustrating.
Break down the drives for us. How many? Why did the drive stall (big penalty)? Did our defense score?
If I remember correctly, the Niners strung together two big drives in the first (a defensive problem) that both resulted in scores.
See, this is the kind of ridiculousness that chafes me for the Bevell detractors. There are usually plausible explanations, but I guess it's easy and LAZY to just point to one scapegoat.
And how did the rest of the game go? We've trended to being a second-half team, so I'm expecting our third and fourth quarter totals are fairly impressive. Against the Niners yesterday, I never really felt like we were out of control until we made it interesting at the end by inserting Boykin. But even though it cost me a few shekels betting on the spread, we had enough on the scoreboard at the end of the day.
