SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Despite a defense on pace to be one of the worst in the NFL in years, an offense that has struggled to move the ball with any consistency and a six-game losing streak that is the longest for the franchise in eight years, San Francisco coach Chip Kelly gave his players the week off for the bye.After spending Monday going over the film from the latest loss to Tampa Bay and meeting with strength coaches to come up with a plan for the week, the 49ers players get some time away from football before returning next week.Thats what weve always done wherever Ive been in the league, Kelly said. Weve played seven games. Theyve been at it since July 31st. They havent had more than one day off in a row. ... I think at this point in time we need to heal up.While the players get away, the coaching staff will meet for a week of self-scouting to determine what worked well the first seven games and what didnt and how opposing teams are playing San Francisco.After a 28-0 victory over the Rams to open the season, nothing has gone right for the 49ers (1-6) in their first season under Kelly. They have been outscored by 75 points for the season -- second-worst in the NFL to the winless Cleveland Browns -- and have been thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball.The defense is on pace to become just the fourth team ever to allow 500 points in a season -- despite the opening week shutout -- as opposing offenses have run at will. San Francisco has allowed a 100-yard rusher in six straight games and the 185.1 yards rushing allowed would be the most in a season since New Orleans gave up 194.1 in 1980.In fact, the Niners have already allowed more yards rushing through seven games than they did the entire 2011 season in the first year under coach Jim Harbaugh.This version in San Francisco looks nothing like the one that went to three straight NFC title games and a Super Bowl in Harbaughs first three seasons in 2011-13.The change from Jim Tomsula last year to Kelly this season was supposed to spark the offense with an up-tempo style that had success at times in Kellys three seasons in Philadelphia.But the 49ers have not run the offense at the same high-speed pace that the Eagles did and have not had nearly the success either, no matter if Blaine Gabbert or Colin Kaepernick was at quarterback.Gabbert got benched after five starts with the team averaging an NFL-worst 4.5 yards per play. Kaepernick took over and has provided some sparks early in games but has also led the offense to 4.5 yards per play.Kaepernick has failed to complete even half his passes in either game, going a combined 29 for 63 (46 percent) for 330 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and a career-low passer rating of 66.2. He has provided a boost with his legs, rushing for 150 yards on 17 carries but the inaccuracy has been too much to overcome.Its been up and down, Kelly said. I think some of it is our protection issues, are we able to get to our spot, get to the proper drop and then get the ball off at the proper time. But its not one set thing where its if Colin is a little bit more accurate were OK. I think its a combination of the routes were running, the protection that were giving him and then giving him the time that he has to throw it. I thought hes been OK so far.Game notes Kelly dismissed reports that LT Joe Staley could be traded before next weeks deadline, calling them erroneous and saying there have been no talks. We need Joe here, Kelly said. ... Kelly also dismissed speculation that he could return to Oregon after the season if the Ducks fire Mark Helfrich. Im the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, he said. So, not looking at anything else. ... The only two injuries from the game that could linger past the bye were a high ankle sprain for LB Aaron Lynch and a sprained MCL for CB Rashard Robinson.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys From China .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Western Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli sees no reason why his side cant ride their inspired wave of momentum all the way to a drought-breaking AFL premiership.From the start of their finals campaign Luke Beveridges team dared to ask Why not us? and duly stormed to the clubs first grand final since 1961.The Dogs didnt have many friends after a wretched run with injuries heading into the finals and a deflating round-23 loss to lowly Fremantle in Perth.But Beveridges underdogs defied the odds to win three finals on their way to the premiership decider against Sydney and will hit the MCG with a full head of steam.Momentum is a strong thing and it can carry you to new places ... thats certainly been the case for us, Bontempelli said on Monday.Theres been an enormous amount of work thats gone into each week, but thats got to be mixed with a bit of momentum.Thats certainly been felt by us as a playing group.Weve had that mentality since the start of the finals ... were jusst on a journey to experience whatever comes our way really.ddddddddddddAs long as we do that I think that will hold us in pretty good stead.Bontempelli looms as a key figure as the Bulldogs try to win their first flag since the clubs only grand final win in 1954.The sublimely talented midfielder is tailor-made for the biggest AFL stage, given his ability to seize the moment and elevate his game when his side needs it most.I dont know if I love them, but theyre moments in games and they can pop up at any particular time, he said.I dont know if Im conditioned to them ... but theyre just moments and as long as Im staying in the game for all moments really then you back yourself to be able to finish in those circumstances when they happen.Its something weve been able to do ... particularly in close games, weve been able to close them out well.
