Payton said he was alright. I'm sure he has a concussion after that hit. Legal hit by rule but it was cheap.

I was thinking it was illegal; didn't think the defense could "spear" like that. P.T. did duck into it I guess...

Pierre Thomas getting hurt was a big reason we lost. While Chris Ivory runs over guys, Pierre Thomas is much better at shifting through a defense, which I think would have played out a lot better running on the 49ers defense.

He was hit like I wish our defense could hit.

The hit and fumble was the game changer. We probably would've had to settle for 3 but it would have kept the crowd out of it a little bit driving on their d like that.

Losing PT was HUGE on so many levels. When Ivory is in it's usually a run, when Sproles is in it's usually a pass. PT is the guy who keeps defenses off guard. We became very predictable on offense. PT can run, catch, and pass block. When he got knocked out we lost our most versatile RB.
Plus when PT went out they put Roby back on kickoffs to save Sproles knowing they would need him more on offense. Roby promptly fumbled a kickoff that would of been fielded by Sproles had PT been in the game |
