I'm just saying between us - he looked rattled for the first time ever. Which is completely understandable given his age, experience and the situation. But he pushed through it. Next time will probably be a cake walk - especially if he's up against a Super Bowl rookie QB on the other side.

I don't think Patrick so much faltered early as the 49ers had the perfect gameplan for 50 minutes of a 60-minute game, then the coordinators found the cracks and the personnel started to tire.
It wasn't that the stage was too big, or nerves, or being rattled. It was that not a lot was opening up until we stressed and strained them enough to force some openings.
