Our o-line did not have a good game at all. The 9ers D-line is very good (much better than the Pats's, thankfully) so that was part of the problem - another problem was Baas's condition - he got injured and the interior rush was consistently strong.
None of our linemen had really good games (although no holding calls on Snee - I guess he had the best game of all of them), but I'm still amazed at Boothe's versatility - from guard, to center (making calls and doing shotgun snaps) then back to guard, playing effectively. And despite Diehl being beaten around the corner a few times, I think he's the most underrated tackle in the NFL. He consistently stones DeMarcus Ware and the Eagles ends (all-pros like Trent Cole) and he never gets the props he should.
But there's no denying that Manning took beating and our running game did just barely enough.
