The early fumbles killed us
Loosing Thomas to Whitner head hunting,the kick off fumbe we just gave ourselves a mountain to climb.

Plus even with those 5 turnovers, the defense still kept us in the game

Brees pick, returned to the 5 yard line
Sproles fumble inside our own 10 yard line
PT knocked out when we were about to score and we come away empty.

I've always suspected Jenkins as being kind of a me-first player, the kind of guy who will get his contract and then slack off. Or who has a really good year every once in a while just to prove himself, then goes back to being average. Not super-surprised to hear he wasn't out to help somebody who was competing with him for a job. I don't think he's a bad guy by any means though.

I always said if you could've put Harper's brain in Jenkins' body you would have a great player.

I didn't blame harper for the 49ers lost but he did cost us the 2010 Seattle game. Yep, I still haven't let it go. However, I blame Greg williams for that as well. The best thing you can do is know your players. Any scenario where you have harper playing more than 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage is an instant L. However, you put him 10 yards from the line of scrimmage and he's a much different player. That's why he looked a lot better with vacarro because he didn't have to handle a majority of the pass coverage duties.
