SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco coach Chip Kelly said Monday that the most disheartening part of losing games at a historic rate is that he cant pinpoint one area that the 49ers need to clean up.It flows depending on the game youre playing, who youre playing with, Kelly said. As I talked to the guys yesterday after the game, it was about finishing.The 49ers lost 30-17 to the Patriots on Sunday, giving them a ninth straight loss to tie the longest losing skid in franchise history. They also lost nine straight in 1978.Asked Monday if hes received assurances from management that hell return in 2017, Kelly said he hadnt.We havent had any conversations about that at all, about anybodys job security, Kelly said.The 49ers hired Kelly to replace Jim Tomsula, who finished 5-11 in 2015 in his only season as head coach. Kellys team is 1-9 so far.San Francisco next travels to play the Dolphins (6-4), who have won five straight. Kelly will bring the leagues last-ranked defense and 29th-ranked offense to Miami.The 49ers entered the fourth quarter against the heavily favored Patriots (8-2) down just 13-10 before Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes and led a drive that culminated in a field goal. Brady finished with 280 yards passing and four touchdowns.Brady sealed the win with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell with 10:06 remaining, getting the throw off a split second before getting hit from behind by Ahmad Brooks.Were a half a second away, or even closer than that, to getting (Brady) down and finishing the play, Kelly said. And I think thats what you have to do against a good quarterback and we didnt do it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Bryan Trottier Islanders Jersey .
