Posted November 16, 2008 at 8:14 pmNot surprisingly, the 49ers were quite pleased with the win, but recognize the need to close out games a little more consistently. Of course, when you’re up 35-3 it’s easy to let up on the gas. I just got the post-game notes quotes and thought I’d throw some of them up.
