This is the live blog for the first quarter of the 49ers’ Week 10 road game against the Saints. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.
10:02 The 49ers win the toss and defer.
10:04 Cadet returns the kickoff to the Saints’ 24.
10:06 Jim Harbaugh calls the first timeout on the third play of the game. The Niners had 12 men on the field.
10:07 Third play of the game — third-and-8 — Brees floats a pass to Marques Colston who was running a corner route. Antoine Bethea undercuts the pass, picks it off and runs it to the Saints’ 20.
10:08 The 49ers’ first play is a run.
10:09 Greg Roman calls three straight Frank-Gore runs and the 49ers score a touchdown. 7-0 Niners. Good going, Greg.
10:13 Cadet returns the kickoff to the Saints’ 23.
10:15 Brandin Cooks drops a short pass on third-and-3 and the Saints go three and out. Bruce Ellington gets tackled right away on the punt return at the 49ers’ 21.
10:27 Carlos Hyde scores easily on a crack toss to the left from the Saints’ 9 yard line. 14-0 Niners. Gore gained 18 yards on three counter runs during that 13-play drive. Kaepernick converted a third-and-10 by stepping up in the pocket and throwing a rope to Anquan Boldin for 12 yards. And Kaepernick converted a third-and-5. The Saints blitzed and Kaepernick scrambled for 19.
10:31 Cadet returns the kickoff to the Saints’ 24.
10:31 Roman has called 11 runs and 5 passes — about 2 to 1. Good going, Greg. The past weeks, the run-pass ratio was 2 to 1 the other way.
10:35 Brandin Cooks beats Tramaine Brock on a double move for a 35-yard catch on third-and-12.
10:40 Perrish Cox misses a tackle on third-and-7 gives up a 12-yard gain to Marques Colston. Chris Borland ends the Saints’ drive with back-to-back tackles on second down and third down near the 49ers’ red zone. The Saints make a 40-yard field goal and the score is 14-3 Niners.
10:42 The Saints tackle Ellington at the 49ers’ 15 on the kick return and the first quarter ends.

FRANK INSIDE THE 5!
There’s your power spread Razor
Smash Mouth Spread
Road grate time! !! I told you were going pound the meat! !! Grind!!!! This offensive line is angry!!!
Just read the thing about Aldon Smith not completing his counseling. real, real disappointing.
Should have been CK who got to score the TD not Gore.
The radio broadcast is behind the TV. So I can’t sync the broadcasts by delaying the radio. So today i have to listen to the TV guys.
nice open field tackle. cmon Elllington, you can do better
Come on Roman. Unleash our QB let him throw.
We already have one Mora here. we don’t need another likewise idiot, Bay
Jeez. Boudin almost made that catch
That should have a PI. ..
Keep feeding Gore. Show HYDE some love to
Come on VD you gotta make that catch. He didn’t even try for it.
That’s my QB!!!
I’m loving this
Yah Kaep, make em pay with your legs!
Wooo hooo.
On first down play action run by kap#!# come on GRo
49ers OL mauling out there. Lots of 8 man fronts
Wait, wait. the OL CAN Pass protect
Come on call it, naked bootleg! !
Oh, OK. i get it. the niners are treating this like its a play off game. in a sense – it is
Was VD arguing wit brandon lloyd??
He just looked pissed in general. i think BL and others were just talking him down. not sure why he was upset. maybe a saint punched him in the nuts?
GOOD SH-T HYDE
Mr Hyde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooo!
Wow!!
Two Headed Hydra!
I have been waiting all year to hear that!
200 plus yards rushing today!!! I’m calling this ishhhh.
Why does Roman keep calling runs? Not fair that Hyde scored. That TD should have gone to Colin.
OK, we get it Bay. You can stop with whoever you think you are aping, it’s not as clever as you think it is.
Yeah let bay speak for himself.
I don’t think they take that into account. but I agree
Wow great run
Now this is my kind of football!! Love it.
Are those swamp people really going to play that stupid siren every 3rd down? It’s frickn annoying!
I think Roman heard us…
this is bad. Grant is going to think G Ro took his advice.
+1000
Yards: 49ers 86, New Orleans 9.
Saints. Better start panicking.
saints are taking up the penalties from the niners
Why is a LB covering cooks?
Get me D
Wow. Borland can play
Lynch + Borland working it on that third down spot
Yeah, but we should have package those pics to get an impact player in the 1st round :)
This kid Borland is a baller. I was hard on him against the Broncos. He has a nose for the ball. I love it
Hyde needs to be the back when we go shotgun
