“It was obviously a difficult loss. We were able to fight back in the second half and kind of get back in the game and in the end weren't able to make enough plays. We kind of had it back and forth a bit, certainly for the last quarter, but credit San Francisco for coming away with win. We'll watch this tape tomorrow and try to get this thing behind us as soon as we can.”

On the 51-yard completion by San Francisco late in regulation:

“Well, without seeing film, it’s a scramble. I really have to look at the tape, but obviously the play is extended, he steps and finds a receiver late down the field so without seeing it on tape it is kind of hard to guess because it’s a broken play. We'll look at that and try to get it cleaned up. Obviously, it was a pretty significant play; there were a number of them.”

On broken plays making it more difficult for the cornerbacks:

“You have coverage areas and those are good for 3-4 seconds and then everyone scatters at that point to different spots and that gets a little contorted. Does that make sense? That's hard, it’s hard when all of the sudden there are seven or eight seconds it’s hard to keep your coverage integrity.”

On having a lot of close games of late not going his way:

“There is nothing to put our finger on, nothing specific we’ve had some go our way just like a year ago so you just have to keep trekking.”

On if he considered going for it on fourth down in overtime:

“Yes, I was kind of running out of fourth down plays though. In all seriousness, when you go for it on fourth you probably have something you like and you spend some time on it. Honestly, there are a handful of plays but I don't think there were any that seemed like the right thing to do based on what we were looking at, but that was the one of many.”

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
