Blaine Gabbert does enough for 49ers to pull off upset over Falcons

Garrett Celek, meanwhile, had just two receptions for 12 yards, and both scored TDs.

The San Francisco 49ers rumors don’t stop with the head coach either, as there is still the matter of who will be the starting quarterback for the team in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers are probably going to be looking for a new quarterback in the 2016 NFL Draft.

In fact, the only microphone he spoke into Tuesday or Wednesday was one owned by the radio station (KNBR-680 in San Francisco) that hosts his weekly show.

Gabbert threw two touchdown passes in the first half on Sunday, and the 49ers’ defense held on for a 17-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Levi’s Stadium.

Newcomers Shaun Draughn and Kendall Gaskins shared the running back duties for an injured unit.

Pressed further on the issue, Tomsula again refused tocall Gabbert his starter over the deposed Colin Kaepernick. Sure, the first-year coach might need to run it by the big bosses first.

“I met with the guys and let them know that we were moving forward with the way we were – with Blaine in that seat”, Tomsula said. “Blaine had a great day today”. The Falcons are 1-3 in their last four games after starting the year undefeated and if they are going to save the season, things must change.

Say all of those passes are caught, then Gabbert is 19 for 25 for about 260 yards, two or maybe three touchdowns and just one interception. “We have the opportunity to be critical and self-evaluate and find out what we’re doing well because I think there are a lot of things we’ve done well”. “Very confident, (and he) knew where he wanted to go, and what he wanted to do”. “But from a playcalling standpoint, I thought Kyle called a good game”. Quinn opted to kick a field goal that left the Falcons still down by one with NO guarantee they’d get the ball back instead of going for it to put Atlanta up by three points.

“Upon us is the bye week, and really the challenge that comes for the players is to look back to our start of training camp, are you happy with where your game’s at right now?”

The Falcons are averaging a measly 16.8 points per game over the last four weeks after averaging an impressive 32.5 points per game in the first five games, all wins.

“I trusted in (Quinn)”, Ryan said.

Over the bye week, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said the coaching staff will look into running more no-huddle offense. San Francisco’s stout defense flustered Matt Ryan despite the patchwork use of backups because of a rash of injuries. “Bo was out there flying around being NaVorro Bowman”, Jerod-Eddie said. Surely a fade to Julio Jones presented just as good odds as a three and out? The NFL’s leading rusher heading into Week 9, Devonta Freeman had only 12 yards on 12 carries.

“What’s been tremendous here is that you’ve got it all”, Harbaugh said about his MI job.

Will Blaine Gabbert remain the starting quarterback of the team? His passer rating would have been well over 100 and we in the media would be openly wondering who would introduce him at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I was watching an National Football League game where they didn’t cover a receiver and the quarterback handed it off, and got maligned by scribes and pundits and so-called experts for not throwing it to him”.
