This was an important game in the NFC West. We all kind of suck at the moment so a win by the 49ers here and we can suck less then the other teams and we managed to scratch out a 16-9 victory. Our running game struggles again but Ainge and Redmen have a good day and are able to do just enough as the defense shines. We held Lienart and a good Cards offense to only 226 total yards and that was the difference in this game.

I am still very frustrated with the lack of a running game. Both Gore and Barber are averaging slightly over 3 yards per attempt. With 2 rbs of that caliber I expect a higher average. They also are not breaking the long gains with Gores longest run being for 21 yards and Barbers only being 13 yards. To make the playoffs we need to up those averages and start breaking some bigger gains.
