Atlanta Falcons vs 49ers Indepth NFL Recap
Hayne was not picked in the 49ers’ 17-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons despite primary punt returner Reggie Bush and top running back Carlos Hyde in the team’s injured list.
In Sunday’s victory over the visiting Atlanta Falcons, the inside linebacker, in his comeback season from knee surgery and a long rehab, roamed from sideline to sideline and was incredibly active in helping to limit the NFL’s leading rusher, Devonta Freeman, to just 12 yards on 12 carries. With the players looking at several mandatory days off, it’s unclear whether that will happen before or after they return from their break.
“My knee is getting there”. “No, I don’t believe in pressure”, he said. I made a decision.
“Because, I mean, I know everybody wants to know everything right away, but I’m going to speak to the people here and the lives it directly affects”, Tomsula said.
November 22nd 2015, the San Francisco 49ers go into Centurylink Field to face off against bitter rival Seattle Seahawks. Most notably, the coaching staff rolled out a coherent game plan that was noticeably more aggressive – sealing the game with a lovely naked bootleg call so Gabber could run for the clinching first down.
Atlanta has lost to three bad teams, all of which reside in the NFC, with two in their own division.
The bye week will also be used for the players to get healthy again. “When Vic (Beasley) picked off that ball, I definitely thought the game was over and it would be a game-changer”.
Snapshot: The Falcons elected to kick a 19-yard field goal on fourth-and-goal from the San Francisco 2 with three minutes left to get within a point, but never got the ball back.
Gabbert, who was 5-22 as a starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars, threw for 185 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his debut as the 49ers starter.
Do you take the points and rely on the defense to get another stop – against Gabbert and the lowly Niners, no less – or do you go for the touchdown? The Seahawks defeated the 49ers in their first meeting 20-3 last month.
“We rallied around Blaine and he did a great job today to get us this win”, Bowman said. “And then we had an open week and we’d see where things went from there”.
On Tuesday morning, coach Jim Tomsula explained his rationale for the decision during his weekly radio spot on KNBR.
GIANTS 32, BUCCANEERS 18: In Tampa, Florida, Eli Manning threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, helping first-place NY rebound from a road debacle at New Orleans.
Now, as the 49ers move forward with Gabbert as their starting quarterback, their focus will be on improving their record for a better finish to the year.
The San Francisco 49ers find themselves in quite the situation. On Jones’ seventh reception of the game he caught an 18-yard pass to put him over 1,000 yards receiving on the season.
