Week 5: 49ers vs. Patriots Preview & Discussion Thread

The 49ers have given up a total of 19 sacks in their first four games. And with a Patriots defense that can disguise blitz packages, it may be a tough day for the 49ers. T Jonas Jennings is still ruled out for this game, so the protection for QB J.T. O’Sullivan will be the main [...]

49ers: What what wrong and we need more Vernon Davis
