Except Beck was playing the previously-4 sacks all season long-Bills, not the Ravens in a home night game.

The 49ers were suppposed to be this run heavy team with a good OL and running game. They were reduced to looking like the Bears or Redskins Oline of the past couple of years.

Not only that, but some of the sacks Smith took were easily avoidable. He was out of the pocket on a couple of them and thus could have thrown those balls away.

When you lose one of your best G (Snyder) just like when we lost Lichsteiger the OL goes to shit.

Baltimore averaged 2.9 sacks a game before this game. 9 sacks is triple that. Hell, even JC in 2008 was sacked only twice against the Ravens. Losing an OL definitely can wreak the OL, but 9 sacks in a game is a rarity no matter what. And there were a couple sacks Smith certainly could have avoided.

The Bills had 10 against us the game after losing Lichtsteiger, the 49ers lost Snyder in the 2nd qtr.

Smith already got sacked twice in the first quarter. His third came at 14:46 in the second quarter.

Beck was extremely hesitant in that game. That hesitation was a bigger reason behind the 10 sacks than the loss of Lichtensteiger.
