Gore out with concussion

They just announced that Frank Gore left the game with a concussion. Hopefully Hicks and Robinson can step up because Frank Gore was giving them exactly what they needed.

A questionable Mike Nolan decision has reared its head. He sent out the punting team on 4th down on the Lions 31 yard line. They didn't have enough guys on the field and had to call timeout, after which the field goal team was sent out. Hopefully they won't need the timeout, but doesn't that seem like a given that you'd send out the field goal unit? Confusing couple of decisions there.

Another questionable looking Nolan move was that challenge where the Lions receiver was initially ruled as fumbling and then was ruled down by contact.

It looks like it gave the defense a bit of more focus, and probably ended up working out well, now that Alex Smith is kneeing out the clock.

It certainly worked out in the end. Just hoping it doesn't come back to bite the team too badly in the future. I think Nolan's definitely improving in his game management, but still manages the occasional brain fart like most anybody.
