49ers stumble and stagger to 47-7 loss to Cardinals

But he continued to fight for the ball. They had to punt a few times when you felt like the Cardinals could have and maybe should have gotten more out of the drive.

“They were probably exhausted of me, honestly” Bowman said of the officials. It was just emotions.

“No. Never crossed my mind”, Kaepernick said when asked if he could have foreseen his type of performance.

After the game, Kaepernick took ownership of the 47-7 debacle.

Cornerback Kenneth Acker s first career interception and first-round draft pick Arik Armstead s first sack were easily overlooked in the 49ers worst loss to the Cardinals in 48 all-time meetings.

Arizona had 446 yards to 156 for the 49ers, coming off a 43-18 loss at Pittsburgh.

“Once again, that was a bad play on my part”, Kaepernick said. “We put our defense in a hole and we can’t do that to them”. “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish”.

To which Carson Palmer says, it’s just three games, and it can get much better. Jared Goff, anyone? Having laid two stinkbombs against talented opponents on successive weekends, the 49ers seem quite capable of losing a dozen games, just enough to enter the draft sweepstakes for the Cal quarterback/conventional pocket passer.

“I don’t like making excuses”, Bowman said. And if you do the math, maybe that’s the reason. But once we put those helmets on and go out there, there’s no excuses. But he did strike a good punt on the play where Bethel caught it cleanly at the S.F. 1, held for a beat, and then tossed it back so he wouldn’t take it in the end zone.

Hayne’s play proved to be the biggest gain for his side for the whole night, although that will provide little consolation to fans of the red and gold.

– Chris Johnson turned 30 Sunday and he averaged 5.0 yards a rush and gained 110 yards on the ground. Not a good thing. “For me, that has been my mentality and that will be my mentality”. And I’m giving it 100 percent every single day. “I got to get back up and keep going”. Bowman shouldn t have still been in the game at that point but, phew, disaster averted. “We won Indianapolis-Tennessee, and I don’t know how”.

The officials first threw the beanbag around the 4 where the Cards ending up grabbing the ball, but Leach was there to help.

Minter has managed to make the Sean Weatherspoon signing look useless.

Jim Tomsula expressed his belief in Kaepernick following the game saying, “Colin is our quarterback“.

“Both of those are my fault and my mistakes that hurt this team“. “Coach Arians, he’s like a mad scientist”, Fitzgerald said. He is probable with a knee injury. Carlos Hyde was San Francisco’s leading rusher with 51 yards on 15 carries…. Hyde said he believed the 49ers could have still achieved some success on the ground. “He works his tail off”. “It is a challenge for anyone to be down that much and try to fight back”.

Jarryd Hayne runs onto the field before the game. “There’s no doubt we’ll get through it”. “Then to answer that with a touchdown, we really shut the door”. Veteran receiver Larry Fitzgerald looks completely rejuvenated; he’s caught five touchdown passes in the last two games alone after bringing in just two last season.

(At) Carolina 27, New Orleans 22: Cam Newton threw for 315 yards and a pair of touchdowns to tight end Greg Olsen and also ran for a score.

“It was obviously a tough loss, but I am trying to make the most of my opportunities as they come”, Hayne said. “I know what this team is capable of doing”.
