I figured I'd go ahead and post them; others may be interested.

Tackles-Assists-Sacks
(Forget it, I'm not going to type them all in. Suffice it to way that
Tim Harris had two sacks, and Dennis Brown and Larry Roberts each had one
for the 49ers. Lawrence Taylor had one for the Giants. Romanowski led
the 49ers with six tackles, and Collins had nine for the Giants).


The 49ers' stats (and Bono's in particular) would have looked much better
if the receivers hadn't taken false starts three times. Each time the
pass was completed for a long gain, but the penalties wiped them out,
costing the 49ers a total of 95 yards.

I was surprised to see that the 49ers fumbled the ball five times. I don't
remember that many fumbles. Fortunately they only lost one, and did not
throw an interception.

The punting is still an unknown. Klaus Wilmsmeyer's first punt was a
pooch kick, so it doesn't really count as far as looking at average.
But his second punt was truly awful, shanked out of bounds to the right.
Sigh...what is so difficult about kicking that damn thing anyway?
