I have had this problem with VD, unless the gameplan is designed around him, it seems like he disappears..

Actually, I think they kept him in to block...ALOT.

This could be the case, as my stream kept freezing up this week, so I couldnt zero in on everything.


Ah I see. Thanks ...Prolly gonna re-watch the game later too

They kept him and Delaney a lot to help with the line. He helped block Suh on one of Gores long runs.

To think, Culliver played Safety.


NFL really needs to update these refs on what is legal motion and what is a false start. They've f**ked up on 3 calls this year for us now.

Props to Patrick Willis!! He gave up a TD but they were throwing his way ALL DAY and he broke up a lot of passes.

Willis gets huge props to taking on a tough man-on-man assignment vs a solid TE.

The first 2-4 drives on offense from the lions, made me think it was going to be a long day with Willis on the TE, and bowman on best. Then something happened..... We adjusted, and it didnt seem like willis was getting beat in coverage anymore.

I was at the game yesterday and that place was unbelievable loud - terrific venue to watch a game. Tough not to get rattled under those conditions. Near the end of the 3rd quarter it looked like the niners were taking over; few mistakes here and there caused that not to be the case. With all my cheering I don't think I made many friends with the Lion fans sitting around me...I was going nuts!!

As a side note, the Lion fans were great in the post game tailgating.

Welcome, London!

he made some VERY nice plays in coverage. Even that TD, he had perfect coverage, did what he needed to do, it was just a better catch.

We don't play our coverage if he doesn't come through. He was a key reason that allowed us to play that coverage.
