Kaepernick tries to clarify defense of Castro

As for Sunday’s game, it came down to the final play.

Embattled San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw 3 touchdown passes, ran for 113 yards and almost rallied the woeful San Francisco 49ers from a 17-point deficit in the final 8 minutes Sunday, which left a lot to talk about afterward.

This is no small deal.

NOTES: The 49ers arrived in Orlando on Sunday night and will stay there before traveling to Chicago before Sunday’s game against the Bears. Here came both safeties up nice and tight.

Which is exactly how I depicted Kaepernick’s comments in a blog that afternoon.

“I can understand the concern”, Kaepernick said, per SFGate.com.

INJURIES: Miami WR DeVante Parker (lower back) left late in the third quarter but said afterward he was fine. He three touchdown passes, including a 43-yard strike to Kenny Stills and a 15-yarder to Leonte Carroo after the 49ers had pulled within 17-14. Shepherd returned a kick to the 9-yard line and muffed another kick in the end zone that he downed. Overall Tannehill went 20/30 for 285 yards, three touchdowns and finished with a rating of 130.6. We just have to make the plays when we’re called on. “We had a good week of practice and first drive we marched down the field, score”.

How many years has it been the Dolphins saying those same words?

It looks like the San Francisco 49ers quarterback has a lot to say about American politics, as Miami’s community of Cuban exiles were horrified by the quarterback’s support of what they consider to have been a Communist oppressor.

Alonzo the recipient of Tannehill’s postgame chest bump also led Miami with 12 tackles, and sandwiched Colin Kaepernick at the 2-yard line on the final play. A victory next Sunday at Baltimore would extend the winning streak to seven games, their longest since 1985. “We’ve been in every game, for the most part, and we haven’t been able to finish”.

Said Tannehill, “I am really proud of those guys – really proud of all five of those guys – the way they battled up front”. I would hope that everybody agrees that those things are good things.

I’m beginning to think that Kaepernick didn’t major in history or political science in college. “But that’s been a big emphasis for us”. With his practice time limited, Kaepernick was beaten out for the starting job by Blaine Gabbert before regaining it last month against Buffalo.

Running back Jay Ajayi was the motor some weeks. But Tannehill drove the vehicle.

The end result was the 10th consecutive loss for the 49ers, which set a new franchise record for consecutive losses. Their defense gives up the most points in the league.
