San Francisco 49ers Loss to Cowboys: The Fleeting, the Notable, the Flags

Well, that game was fun for about 54 minutes. And then The Inevitable started to creep in.

You knew it was happening. We’ve seen this for 10 years. That’s probably the worst part of cheering for a perpetually bad team—you can feel in your bones when The Inevitable has seeped into the game.

I was watching at my grandmothers house (84th birthday!) and everyone else was milling in and out, noting “Oh, the Niners are winning! Great!” and I just nodded solemnly. You knew after Harbaugh’s decision to “leave points on the board” that it was going to end badly.

Overtime felt like a formality.

Anyway, on to the Fleeting, the Notable and the Flags.
