This is the live blog for the third quarter of the 49ers’ Week 10 road game against the Saints. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.
11:48 Carlos Hyde returns the kickoff to the 49ers’ 22-yard line.
11:53 Colin Kaepernick sprints to his right and throws a rocket to Boldin running a three-yard out route on third-and-three from the 49ers’ 49. The pass is high and away from Boldin. He lunges for it and but can’t catch it. The 49ers punt. Saints’ ball at their 16.
11:59 Perrish Cox tackles Jimmy Graham two yards short of the first down marker on third-and-9 from the Saints’ 40. 49ers’ ball at their 20 after the touchback.
12:04 Boldin drops a deep pass down the middle of the field on third-and-15 from the Niners’ 15. Andy Lee punts. Colin Kaepernick took a sack on first down. Roman called a play-action deep shot. Brandon Lloyd and Vernon Davis were the only receivers in the pass pattern and they were covered. Instead of throwing the ball away, Kaepernick tried to scramble and took a 10-yard loss.
12:10 Eric Reid is down holding his right ankle. He misses one play.
12:16 Reid and Michael Wilhoite blitz on third-and-6 from the 49ers’ 11. Drew Brees spins and makes both of them miss. Then he throws a touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham. Unbelievable. 21-17 Niners.
12:21 Boldin runs a slant on third-and-5. Kaepernick throws it to him and Keenan Lewis knocks the pass away. Niners go three and out.
12:24 Quinton Dial and Chris Borland stop Mark Ingram for no gain on third-and-1 from the Saints’ 33, and the third quarter ends.
Roman better come out of the gates throwing.
Do you want them to lose?
Grant what’s the injury report from the first half? Did Ian Williams go out? Who was on the cart with Ellington? Any snaps for Dial or Carridine?
Ian is out. Dial is in. deflected a ball with his head on the saints second to last possession.
Thanks
Let’s keep the pressure on in the second half. I hope Roman makes the right adjustments in the second half. Continue to pound the meat and use play action.
Ok, i so hate that air raid siren.
Johnson is going to get Crabs job if he keeps running routes that good
Seriously our receivers couldn’t even catch a cold. This is pathetic.
Maybe if the qb had some touch and location on his passes they wouldn’t be put in situations having to make ridiculous catches. Open your eyes.
Bolden has the drops today.
Pass was a tad high but catchable.
Ok, can someone tell me how to change my avatar/icon. tired of angry triangle man
Sorry no clue
Anybody? anybody?

Brooks saved that play
We need a stop here defense!!!!
Cox made his best play of the day
Good job and nice tackle! Offense needs to score here!!!
We need Hyde in more in sweeps and tosses.
Our stud QB looks good with the beard look. He should keep it.
Borland leading the niners in Tackles again!
THAT sack was on Kap
That was pathetic. 5 seconds back there? And still takes the sack?
He should have thrown that away. John Lynch called it, neither Lloyd or Davis were open.
Our line sucks so bad. This is ridiculous.
That was Kap fault on that sack. He had time to throw that away or take off Bay. He’s got to throw the ball away bro.
Jordo, some clown has hijacked bays account. Better not even respond.
That’s on Kaep. He’s got to either run or throw the ball away. Or run to the side of the field with space.
Next series, GET HYDE IN
Why is Roman calling short throws. We need to stretch the field and go deep.
Kap is the most sacked QB in football. That is inexcusable. You have to throw the ball AWAY Kap!!!!!
Boldin. WTF.
Dang Boldin
That wAs a TD Q
Boldin has to make that catch. GEEZ. That’s a TD.
For a guy who has 5 catches for 86 yards and a TD, Boldin is having a terrible game
That would have been a TD…..
Not sure what Bay’s deal is, but on that last one he is right – Boldin has to make that play. He won’t have many easier ones. Could have been a big play. Hopefully won’t cost the team.
my, my, my…
Talk to us, Your Coolness
(Ankwaan “3 drops” Bolddinn)…
Damn Boldin!! He’ll make up for it though!
Please ignore bayarea, hes nothing more than a troll
Offense has to give the defense a blow. We need a long drive when we get this ball back!
nice pursuit D.
Let’s go D
Stupid play by Kap followed by horrible drop by Boldin
need to settle town and score some more.
Carridine was on the field.
Injuries are destroying this team. Damn!
facing a QB such as Brees,
if you lose Reid, then you lose the game.
Yup.
Reid…..please let it not be serious. We always lose players there. …
Damn, this ingram guy can run
Might have been the best Culliver has played the ball in his career right there
Reid is back. Gulliver saves a TD. Bethea Blitzs
Culliver’s having a really good game.
Who’s this guy in the Culliver unie?
Darn it niners!
How’d they miss that sack?
Ok, which niners O shows up?
I guess Fangio doesn’t teach break down, square up, and tackling. That was piss poor effort.
A little over reactionary. He’s the 2nd rated D with 2nd string players. He must teach something right.
Pathetic! Perfect blitz call!
Right call bad execution
Pathetic is the right word. That was a pathetic effort.
thats how you avoid the blitz. not running around like headless chicken
with three minutes left in the third period,
IT IS A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME…
time to “bring it” … Kapurnicus..!!!
(if you got it to bring, that is….)
Now you know why that fumble
late in the second period was so crucial, huh?
‘cuz 11 points is/was not enuf of a lead against
this Saints team, okay?
what a great call by Famgio. Lousy execution.
He had Davis, 1 on 1. He HAS to see that.
That was the right throw for down and distance.
Davis is not even trying KY.
Saints have made defensive adjustments on short passes across the middle and on the edge, too. Niners better have an answer. Third quarter was awful execution.
Come on D
Kap has to take off and run with the damn football. Don’t force the throw into coverage.
CAN WE PLEASE TACKLE BREES
Our defense is gassed!!
Yep, no sustained offense in the second half. They need to run the ball off tackle more. Too many dropped balls especially the long one by Bolden. That would have been a TD
Once again where are the halftime adjustments?
Big Niner. That’s a he’ll of a point. Roman didn’t make any like he never does. He’s getting out coached again like always.
He’s no where to be seen.
somebody check in with ” Colin ” …
ask him if he is nervous…?
ARE YOU NERVOUS, Colin…?
”” colin ”’ … he of flat brim (snap back) fame.
So cool. So terse with the press. So lost out there.
my QB has skills but he is dumb……..
Dial has to get more of a forward lean in his 3point stance. He looks like he’s on his heels, similar to a offensive lineman about to block on a pass
with all these weapons Ckone should be a top QB……….just continuos dumb mental mistakes
what is wrong with #35?
