They just took it to us," cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said

Turns out that the Bengals' solid showing in Seattle was more of a mirage.Given a chance to show they're a team on the upswing Jimmie Ward Jersey , the Bengals imploded every which way Sunday in their home opener. Their 41-17 loss to the 49ers was reminiscent of their many bad moments during the last three losing seasons.Instead of seeing a fresh start, the crowd of 50,666 got more of the same."They just took it to us," cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. "I definitely thought we would play with a lot more of a sense of urgency. We just have to go out there and take a good look in the mirror at ourselves."The Bengals had a solid showing overall during a 21-20 loss in Seattle a week earlier that suggested they were making progress under first-year head coach Zac Taylor. A banner in the upper deck at Paul Brown Stadium read: "ZAC-tly What the DR ordered."In his regular-season home debut, Taylor's team fell apart quickly, especially on defense . The 49ers piled up the big plays and 572 yards overall while scoring the most points against the Bengals in a home opener. Now they're 0-2 for the second time in three years."We didn't see that coming," Taylor said.The mistakes came from all directions.The defense got caught out of position and repeatedly missed tackles . The offense struggled again to run the ball Dwight Clark Color Rush Jersey , managing 25 net yards on 19 carries. Randy Bullock missed another field goal. The 49ers got ahead 31-10 to start the third quarter and essentially ran it out, meeting little resistance."Poor," quarterback Andy Dalton said, summing it up. "They took it to us today, and it's disappointing."The line was already depleted by injuries, and it took a few more hits. Left tackle Cordy Glenn missed a second game in concussion protocol. Backup Andre Smith went out with a groin injury in the second quarter. Rookie left guard Michael Jordan suffered a knee injury and was carted off in the second half — Taylor had no updated information about his condition.The running game also was nonexistent in Seattle, forcing Dalton to carry the load . On Sunday https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Aaron-Burbridge-Jersey , he was 26 of 42 for 311 yards with four sacks, an interception and two touchdowns, including a 66-yarder to John Ross III with 45 seconds left."It's Week 2, so that's a positive thing," center Trey Hopkins said. "But we can't put a product like that on the field ever again."Disappointed by the poor performance, fans started booing in the third quarter and headed for the exits as the start of the fourth. The Bengals drew a comparable 50,018 for their home opener last season Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , when they finished second to last in the NFL in home attendance."I've never understood booing," Dalton said. "I don't know what it accomplishes. But at the end of the day, we have to play better and give them something to cheer for. We want the fans to be behind us." SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers opened the new league year Wednesday by acquiring the defensive playmaker the team was sorely lacking in edge rusher Dee Ford.The 49ers are sending a 2020 second-round pick to Kansas City for Ford and are giving him a five-year, $87.5 million contract, according to his agent.San Francisco also agreed to a two-year deal with running back Tevin Coleman to add depth in the backfield, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. ESPN reported that deal would be worth $10 million.The 49ers also agreed to bring back defensive back Jimmie Ward on a one-year contract worth up to $5 million Tom Rathman Color Rush Jersey , a person familiar with the deal said on condition of anonymity because the signing hadn’t been announced.San Francisco also announced a four-year deal the team had agreed to earlier in the week with linebacker Kwon Alexander worth $54 million.The Chiefs had placed the franchise tag on Ford after he had a career-high 13 sacks last season and led the NFL with seven forced fumbles. But they had questions about how he’d fit in new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s defense and decided to trade him instead of paying him $15.4 million for this season.Ford was picked in the first round by Kansas City in 2014 but went through some growing pains as he adapted to life in the NFL and has an injury history that is cause for concern. He had 17 1/2 sacks his first four seasons and was limited to just six games in 2017 because of a back injury.But he emerged as a star this past season as a key part of a defense that helped Kansas City make it to the AFC championship game. But his offside penalty late in that game against New England negated an interception that could have sealed a victory. The Patriots scored a TD on that drive and won the game in overtime.Ford led all edge rushers with 84 total quarterback pressures last season, according to Pro Football Focus, to go with the sacks and forced fumbles and is exactly the kind of playmaker the 49ers lacked on defense this past season.San Francisco set an NFL record for futility with just seven takeaways, including a record-low two interceptions, as a lack of an edge rusher played a big role in a 4-12 season.“You have to have a guy who can close out games, close out halves,” general manager John Lynch said at the combine when talking about the need for better pass rushers. “When you have them https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Pierre-Garcon-Jersey , they can be a difference-maker.”The 49ers haven’t had an edge rusher reach double-digits in sacks since Aldon Smith had 19 1/2 in 2012 and have the fifth-fewest overall sacks in the NFL the past six seasons. DeForest Buckner led the team with 12 sacks this past season, mostly from an interior spot.Coleman will be reunited with coach Kyle Shanahan, who was his offensive coordinator his first two seasons in Atlanta in 2015-16. Coleman rushed for 800 yards last season at an average of 4.8 per carry and also had 32 catches for 276 yards and scored nine TDs overall.He will team in the backfield with Jerick McKinnon, who is coming off an ACL injury that cost him the entire 2018 season after being a big acquisition last March. San Francisco also has Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert as reserves.Ward was a first-round pick by San Francisco in 2014 but has played only 51 games over five seasons because of various injuries. He has experience playing both cornerback and safety and offers versatility for San Francisco.
