Indeed we as 49ers fans are having to get more and more used to having tough Monday mornings. The 49ers found themselves on the wrong end of a tough battle and are now a game under .500 at 3-4. The good news is that the Cardinals lost. We also had a second impressive outing from Michael Crabtree. The bad news is injuries are slowly starting to add up and the team's depth is taking quite a hit. The loss of Nate Clements hurts in the punt return game. More importantly, even though Clements had been demoted, this is a big shot to the team's secondary depth. I'd imagine the team will be looking to sign a cornerback either off the street or off another practice squad. This should make for an interesting week of transactions.
