passes in the first half and the guys on the other side

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- About the only thing left to determine for the San Francisco 49ers will be if 2016 will go down as the worst season ever in franchise history.After losing their franchise-record 13th straight game on Sunday in Atlanta, the Niners (1-13) must win their final two games to avoid matching, or breaking, the team record for losses in a season.San Francisco can tie the single-season loss record reached in 1978, 1979 and 2004 by losing at the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. With a loss in that game, the 49ers can set the record with a loss in the season finale at home on Jan. 1.I dont think its the time right now where we sit down and look at it and say, `All right. Lets evaluate from a 50,000 foot above, take a look at the entire season, coach Chip Kelly said Monday. Well have time to do that once the seasons ended. Right now, were just really on a week-to-week deal.Kelly said the approach right now is the same as it is every week: Evaluate the previous game, make the necessary corrections and move on to the next opponent.There is plenty to fix from the latest loss, a 41-13 defeat that was the second-most lopsided of the season for San Francisco.The Niners fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter, were held scoreless in the second half for a third straight game and allowed 550 yards to the Falcons.It can get difficult for them, Kelly said of his players. Theyre human. Everybody can kind of, when you start to look at it and say, `Hey, its not going the way we want to get it going. But, the one thing I dont think they do, I dont think they blame others.I think they take responsibility. Everybody does. Were not looking to blame people. Were looking to try and find solutions in terms of moving forward to rectify the situation.The Niners were once again hampered by injuries. One week after losing receiver Torrey Smith to a concussion and tight end Vance McDonald and center Daniel Kilgore to season-ending injuries, San Francisco lost several more players.Receiver Quinton Patton (foot), linebacker Nick Bellore (elbow) and tight end Blake Bell (shoulder) all left the game with injuries and will not return this season.Defensive back Jimmie Ward (shoulder), center Marcus Martin (ankle) and defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey (undisclosed) also were hurt in the game and their status is unknown.They join players such as left tackle Joe Staley, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, and inside linebackers NaVorro Bowman (Achilles tendon) and Ray-Ray Armstrong (chest), who were lost for the season early in the year.Making matters even worse, inside linebacker Gerald Hodges was suspended for the game for violating team rules, forcing safeties Vinnie Sunseri and Antoine Bethea and outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks into inside roles.Part of being really good in this league is staying healthy and when you can stay healthy and youre playing with your front-line guys then youve got a shot, Kelly said.If not, everybody, no matter where you are, I dont think theres a team in the league right now that says, `Hey were good. We havent sustained any injuries. Everybodys sustained something to some extent. You just have to be able to deal with them.Game notes The Niners signed Armstrong to a two-year contract extension to keep him off the free-agent market this offseason. ...San Francisco claimed LB Carl Bradford off waivers from Green Bay and signed TE Jim Dray. ... Bellore and Bell were placed in IR to create the roster spots. ...
