It also assumes the 49ers defense would be porous enough to let Matt Ryan march down the field in a timeout-less two-minute drill to get that game-winning field goal. Wide receiver Jerome Simpson bobbled a sure-catch on the first and rookie outside linebacker somehow came down with the grab for the second.

The decision comes as no surprise after watching Gabbert lead the 49ers to an upset victory over the Falcons on Sunday.
San Francisco quarterback Blaine Gabbert will make his second consecutive start for the 49ers. “He did a nice job out there”, Tomsula said of Gabbert’s effort against the Atlanta Falcons. Quinn kicked himself out of a possible victory and was now left to face the media’s Blaine game, er, blame game. “I’ve been playing special teams and got released two or three weeks ago from the Browns”.
Whatever happens next, there’s a good feeling for this team heading into the week off. The quarterback threw for 185 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a passer rating of 76.3. Celek has been in-and-out of the lineup, but with the trade of starting TE Vernon Davis to the Denver Broncos, Garrett stepped up with both TD receptions from Gabbert. “He had an opportunity, and I thought he did very well with his opportunity”.
“Because, I mean, I know everybody wants to know everything right away, but I’m going to speak to the people here and the lives it directly affects”, Tomsula said. “And we found something that works for us. He put the ball where it needed to go on the field; the distribution of the ball was good”. “You play well when you’re having fun and that was the biggest thing”. With the Australian rugby league star action-less during game days, Channel 7 has reportedly stopped broadcasting 49ers games unless Hayne gets back in action.
The San Francisco 49ers find themselves in quite the situation.
Gabbert clearly provided a spark to the NFL’s lowest-ranked offense, which had scored fewer than 10 points in four of the first eight games for the first time in franchise history.
“It was a great overall defensive performance”.
Draughn, who signed with the team on Monday and started over first choice RB Kendall Gaskins, looked comfortable in rushing for 50 yards on 10 carries, including a 30-year burst in the first half.
“They have nice schemes, stop the run, and they just did their job”.
“My calendar is this Sunday”, Tomsula said, meaning next Sunday in this case.
San Francisco is now 3-2 at home this year, and despite starting the backup quarterback, the backup tight end, and the backup running back, the 49ers managed to win the game.
