The San Francisco 49ers continued their pattern of hard-foug

by an ugly defeat. A week after nearly upsetting the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field , the 49ers were run out of their own building by the Los Angeles Rams in a lopsided defeat. Turnovers were once again a huge problem, and when you turn the ball over four times against the best team in the NFL, ugliness will ensue.The 49ers were at home, so it’s a quick turnaround as they wrap up Week 7, and begin preparations for their Week 8 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Kyle Shanahan will have his normal Monday press conference to wrap up the week. He will meet with the media at 4 p.m. PT to discuss the game and what’s next.The 49ers will stream the press conferences Twitter, Facebook, and the team’s app. The 49ers beat writers will also have updates from the media sessions. I’ve embedded our beat writer Twitter list so you can follow along. We’ll have a transcript later tonight.A Twitter List by NinersNationInjuries open the door for big changes in the 49ers week 5 snap count The San Francisco 49ers lost an ugly one to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, but it was not due to a lack of offensive effort. The team filled the stat sheet, but turnovers, dropped passes, and penalties cost the team in a big way. This stat showed just how badly the team hurt themselves.The offensive “dominance” (for lack of a better term) is reflected in the snap count. You can view that below , or check out the gamebook PDF.The offense had 98 snaps, which the most by any NFL team in the past five years, and the most by a 49ers offense since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. The 49ers offensive time of possession (40:12) was the most by the team since 2014. Suffice to say, the offense was busy.We saw some lineup changes due to injuries, with wide receiver impacted the most. Marquise Goodwin (quadricep, hamstring) and Dante Pettis (knee) were both inactive. The team activated Victor Bolden from the suspended list, and had Richie James active for the second time this season. Pierre Gar莽on led the receivers with 62 snaps, but Bolden was right behind him with 57 snaps. Trent Taylor had 50 snaps, Kendrick Bourne had 42 snaps, and James brought up the rear with 24 snaps. Gar莽on led the team with 12 targets, followed by Taylor with 8 , and Kendrick Bourne with 7 (tied with George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk).The 49ers welcomed Richard Sherman back from a calf injury, and he started and played all 51 defensive snaps. Ahkello Witherspoon got the start opposite Sherman, but we saw significant rotation between Witherspoon and Greg Mabin. Witherspoon played 29 snaps, whole Mabin played 24. After the big 75-yard touchdown to open the game, the secondary was not challenged all that much. They had some good coverage at times, while Rosen overthrew his receivers at other times. Aaron Rodgers will present a decidedly more significant challenge in Week 5.Another injury issue popped up as well in this game. Weston Richburg left the game at one point, and Erik Magnuson played 13 snaps. We’ll have to see what Kyle Shanahan has to say about Richburg’s status for Week 6, but I suspect he’ll sit the first practice of the week on Thursday (Monday Night Football means the practice week starts Thursday not Wednesday).49ers snap count vs. Cardinals, Week 5PlayerOffenseDefenseSTPlayerOffenseDefenseST
