Game review

OFFENSE

guards By was No. Zane the 1 the WR, Goodwin end, Beadles 49ers’ backup Marquise and were Erik their Magnuson starting tackles and rookie C.J. Beathard was being hammered. That wasn’t good. The totals: 14 first downs, 238 yards, 3-for-15 on third down and 0 points in the first 40 minutes.

DEFENSE

A ragtag unit limited the season-low NFL’s offense fifthranked 304 to a yards and 19 first downs, which matched its second fewest of the season. Philadelphia’s offense managed four punts and three points on its first five drives and scored just 10 points in the first half. The defense finally broke, but the 49ers kept it unexpectedly competitive for nearly a half.

SPECIAL TEAMS

partially The allowed blocked blocked 49ers try and fieldgoal a punt, a and Taylor punt (2 returns, returner 9 Trent yards) didn’t make an impact. The good news: Robbie Gould drilled a 50-yard field goal and Bradley Pinion (8 punts, 41.3 net average) had a kick downed at the 2-yard line.

COACHING

Defensive Saleh tested Robert coordinator new starting left tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai and made QB Carson Wentz uncomfortable with a steady diet of blitzes. Kyle Shanahan was forced to stick to primarily short passes after the injuries to the offensive line put Beathard’s health in serious jeopardy.

OVERALL

The 49ers weren’t all that talented in Week 1 and now an inordinate amount of injuries have helped make them punching bags the past two games (combined score: 73-20). They can take some solace in this: It’s halfway over.
