Please, post all the game day happenings here. ALL reactions and observations from the game go here. However, if you have something like an end of quarter analysis thread you would like to post go ahead and make it it's own thread. Please make sure someone didn't beat you to it before you post it. All threads that are posted out of the game day thread will be deleted and the user may be warned. In the cases where it is appropriate to merge threads (like if an injury happens and everyone reports it at the same time) we will do so. If you want a more interactive experience please check the live chat:http://49erswebzone.com/chat.shtmlINFO: Where: Minnesota When: Sunday, September 23, 2012

Actually only ten points because three was from the KW kick return.

So you guys are giving the defense that gave up 24 pts a pass. And who is this 'everyone' .... it was a team loss we got out played by the Vikes.

It wasn't a good day for this defense, but 24 points? Come on, bro! Its 24 stinking points, not exactly a blow out. This offense should be able over come that.

24 points on very long drives lots of third and short conversions and almost 35 minutes time of possession. MIN had a very nice day offensively vs our defense. It is what we have done to every one else and they did it to us today. It was picture perfect scenario for them

Doesn't it seem like Alex and Harbaugh are content with keeping the game close in the first three quarters with a lack of big play chances. It could be just me

lol@everybody over reacting to a loss where we fell flat in an early game and they wanted it bad in their stadium. Not to mention they needed terrible reffing to beat us. Chill people, gosh.

I was blown away at the lack of urgency in the fourth quarter.

The 49ers also looked flat. Harbaugh will have them ready to play the J-E-T-S, Jets-Jets-Jets, next week

18 tackles isn't too shabby for a bad day at the office.

But in all seriousness I think Fangio may have underestimated Ponder if anything.

We definitely were not prepared for MIN to come out and do exactly what we have done to everyone else to us. we took our own medicine today and we were not the better for it. Now we can see what we come up with after this weeklong minicamp vs the Jets

I honestly think all the media hype got to the players heads and inspired the Vikings to hit them in the mouth because Sing told them to!

The Vikes seemed as physical as the niners always are and it seemed to surprise our team. Singletary got some revenge on the team that let him go! Oh well, as long as it doesn't happen in the playoffs with either the Vikes or Falcons (Nolan) I'll be OK.

Freddy P seemed to be a factor indeed

Agreed. The Jets offense(Mark Sanchez will dink and dunk like the Vikes offense did to sustain drives) is a perfect test to see what kind of adjustments Fangio and the defense will make.

He can start by not allowing clean releases of TE's, RB's & WR's ALLLLLL DAMN day and not playing 40 yards off on 3rd and 10 for SIMPLE pitch-catches. I'm so freaking sick and tired of seeing this. He FINALLY played physical against the Lions and then he goes right back to this crap. Have some faith in your players to play physical. It's what they do best!

Agreed. I said the exact same thing. It gets buried fast in this thread though but I totally agree.

I agree.

tarrell brown played bump and run on one of the last drives and got beat on a slant for a first down. nothing was working for us all day
