The 49ers knew that this week was going to be a tough test. The Saints were on a roll and at home, but San Francisco played well in all phases and survived an overtime thriller.
This wasn't a pretty game from San Francisco's perspective. But in the face of desperation, beauty is only skin deep.

It's been a rough week for the 49ers: the team fell to 4-4 after a crushing defeat to the Rams, the rumors of Jim Harbaugh leaving persist, and now they've lost once-promising prospect Marcus Lattimore for good due to ongoing knee trouble. It appears Las Vegas bookies have taken note of the dark clouds currently circling Santa Clara, and they've made the three-time NFC Title Game contender a long shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this year.
49ers legend Jerry Rice and others have recently said they think Jim Harbaugh's tenure with the 49ers will be over at season's end, no matter how far the team goes. Where will he find his next gig? If the voters of Michigan have anything to say about it, the former University of Michigan quarterback will be taking up residence in the statehouse.

The week 9 injury report is as lopsided as it could be. The 49ers have no real injuries, while the Rams have just about everyone injured. If St. Louis suffers any injuries in this game they could be in serious trouble.
