to say i wasn't confident going into last night's game was an understatement. our team has been decimated with injuries to key members and a tight turnaround after a loss on sunday. the faith was low but any early surge from mac jones and kendrick bourne in the first half had us up 17-7, but division rivals rams would not go out without a fight. the defense really came through with a stop and fumble recovery at the 1-yard line late into the 4th. thanks to the rook alfred collins punching that ball out a la fred warner. it didn't end there with matthew stafford marching the rams down the field with less than a minute to get a tying field goal. overtime it was was. niners managed to get a field goal by eddy piñeiro, who has been clutch. he bonked in a 48-yard kick after hitting a 59-yarder.  it's nice to have a reliable kicker.  then, the grand defensive finale. instead of trying for a field goal to tie the game. the rams went for it on 4th and 1 to win outright.  the d-line DENIED them. what a game and still coming down from the high.  glad the boys are getting a good amount of rest to heal before they tackle the bucs in 9 days.
