So far, late 3rd quarter, one of the more brutal games I've seen recently. 49ers definitely want it, they are hitting hard. Graham has whacked the back of his head on the turf twice. The pundits speculate he's not acting quite right, but I guess the concussion rules go out the window in this situation.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine, let me back out there. I see three fingers. Oh, five? Close enough."

Brees looks very uncomfortable. He’s had lots of time and hasn’t been able to find receivers.

The last series, he didn’t even have time.

The story of the game so far besides defenses generally, and the 49ers secondary particularly, are the guys who didn’t show up on offense today: Sproles (who is smarting in pain from the hits), and Crabtreee.
