49ers vs Lions: Week 16 grades and analysis for San Francisco
“It’s a sick feeling because we understood how good we were back in training camp, but we took too long to show it”, defensive end Darryl Tapp said.

Caldwell challenged the spot on the play and won, which gave the Lions a 1st and 10 at the Detroit 43-yard line to start the fourth quarter. His often questionable decisions and lack of playing to his team’s strengths have held the Lions back on multiple occasions, and it’s easy to wonder if choices like that would have led to more success.
Boldin did keep the ball – he said his wife wanted it – but wasn’t in a celebratory mood after the game.
The 49ers would barely manage to do anything else as they lost their eleventh game of the 2015 season and came a game closer to drafting a quarterback high in the first round come April. During the drive, the 49ers were flagged for being offside or in the neutral zone for the seventh time to set a single-game high by an National Football League team this year, according to STATS.
Harris, who said he’s 5-foot-7 despite being listed as 5-8 on the 49ers’ roster, said his lack of height gives him an edge.
San Francisco turned the ball over on downs on its next two possessions. Harris had 74 yards on nine carries in the first half when the 49ers trailed 20-17, and then carried the ball just two more times in the second half.
Yet San Francisco’s offense went stagnant in the second half, which left the defense exposed and overworked.
“I wouldn’t say I was expecting it, but I was hoping for it”, Hayne, who would go on to play 35 of the 49ers’ 59 offensive snaps, said.
Rookie Ameer Abdullah finished with 179 all goal yards 39 rushing, 9 receiving and 131 on returns.
The Lions will have to devote $24 million of their salary cap next season to retain Johnson unless they restructure his contract. Stafford hit the lowest point of his career in that game, but the Lions made it clear that he was still their starter and he rewarded them with very strong play.
But I would offer a counter-argument: What truly good candidate would take this job?
It quickly paid off, with Hayne showing the power and speed that made him an NRL star, including an 11-yard run that put quarterback Blaine Gabbert in a position to connect with tight end Vance McDonald for the first touchdown of the game.
San Francisco got the lead back on the next drive, going 82 yards on seven plays. “We started tremendous, but Detroit did a few things to get the momentum and they ran away with it. It was disappointing”, Hayne said.
It also comes 10 days after special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey bluntly told reporters the Australian “needs to learn how to play football” and “it just didn’t work out”. Stafford extended the lead to 29-17 with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson in the fourth quarter, and Prater notched his fourth field goal of the day later in the quarter to make it 32-17.

Dial injured – The 49ers’ once-impressive defensive line depth shrunk a little more when Quinton Dial left the game in the second half with a back injury and Arik Armstead limped to the sideline with a lower leg injury.
