The 49ers just couldn’t keep up with the ball hogging Patriots last week.  After all, it’s very hard to win a game when you only have the football for 20:08 like the Niners did last week.  The Patriots ran 75 offensive plays resulting in 377 total yards while the Niners only could muster 199 yards on 47 offensive plays.  Linebackers Patrick Willis (18 tackles, sack) and Takeo Spikes (14 tackles, interception) both did their part to help the Niners but they needed more help.  J.T. O’Sullivan made some good plays (3 TD passes) and some bad ones (3 interceptions) and they did not even out.  He completed 14 of 29 passes for 130 yards.  Frank Gore was essentially taken out of the gameplan when the Niners fell behind.  He rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries (4.5 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 24 yards (6.0 avg) with a TD grab.  Isaac Bruce pitched in with 3 catches for 49 yards (16.3 avg) but two of them went for TDs.  The 49ers are now 2-3 on the season.
