SANTA CLARA–What we’ve been noticing over the course of the season is there are two 49ers defenses, there is one 49ers defense that plays really well at home, there’s another 49ers defense that plays on the road and that one stinks. The Arizona game that was played at Levis last Sunday they looked pretty good the defense kept the Niners in the game.

That defense last Sunday didn’t give up too much although they weren’t able to pull out the win. They played admirably tough football and you can’t fault them too much for the loss and the Niners inability to move the football which has been a consistent problem on offense all season long regardless who the quarterback is.

Here’s the thing with the 49ers defense in the off season they lost so many players Chris Borland was a huge unexpected loss, Patrick Willis not quite as much, Willis leaves, Borland who would have been his replacement leaves, Justin Smith retires, they’ve had several other guys Aldon Smith with that whole other DUI debacle, Ray McDonald left for Chicago and now is out of football.
