I think Alex played well enough but he could do better. The drive before the half was a thing of beauty. Easily one of Smiths best drives. But in the second half he has some really nice throws mixed with a few high sailing throws. Smith just needs to stay calm and put the ball in the right place. It's those three or four throws in the second half that make all the difference.
That said I think he played decent considering who we played.

49ers suck
you dont know much about football. maybe you shouldnt post on this site anymore.
They do suck. We lost 3 in a row even after a bye week! WE SUCK!
did you watch the game today?
we played outstanding...
Did you watch the game? We lost.
we played the best team in football. did you really expect to win? theres so many adult babies on this board crying, kicking, and screaming about how were horrible. shut up.
i have to be embarrassed for you apparently.
Go ahead and feel good about these moral victories. We lost the game based on playcalling ONCE AGAIN! We are now out of the playoff picture if Arizona wins today.
WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! WHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
if you expected to win this game, you know nothing about football.
Take a minute to read what you're saying.
take a minute to realize youre pouting like a little kid who lost his little league game.
we played the best team in football harder than anyone has all season. 3 sacks on manning, when he was only sacked twice all year. we forced more 3-and-outs than any other team, and if it wasnt for a RB td pass, we would have won.
we played a great game. i was expecting to lose 31-13. the season is far from over. this was a L on our schedule from the day it came out. shut your mouth and dry your tears. youre embarrassing yourself.
I don't know. I'd say your actually the one embarrassing yourself. Your painting a perfect portrait of a loser. No one goes into a game knowing its going to be a loss, thats why people watch/play sports.

We played one of the best teams in the NFL without our best linemen and held Peyton without a touchdown, what part of that is so hard to be happy about? When Staley went down, I wasn't expecting his replacement to play as well as he did, what we do know is OL is a glaring need on this team, especially the right side. A win would have been nice, but we have many more games that are very winnable down the stretch. I think the team played hard and fought the whole game, much better than anything we ever saw under Nolan. You guys just need to quit taking it so hard, we did better than I expected today for sure, I thought for sure our defense would give up at least 2-3 touchdowns, we only gave up one on a trick play.
Exactly I don't know why people are mad? We were not expected to win this game. We played great!
The reason I'm upset is because we've had quite a few seasons of these "feel good" losses. This game was winnable today and should've been won but offensive playcalling lost it - well, mostly at least.
There is no point in playing as hard and as tough as they did only to fail. I'm sick of watching this team (this is the third time now) come within a RCH of beating good teams and falling short. If you aren't annoyed by that then I wish I had the patience you do.
Oh I'm annoyed....just not jumping full force onto the blame-game banwagon like so many zoners do.
There are some things the coaching staff needs to learn from this game. I have to say that they prepared well for the most part to face the best team in the league imo.
Let's move onto the Titans and their garbage pass defense. I'm ready.

I'd say it's because WE LOST. All the rest of it is great, but in the end, you play sports to win.
Yep...I don't understand why people are happy we kept it close. This team is good enough to beat the Colts. This team isn't a bottom feeder anymore. Have some faith in the team.
Until we have an offensive line that can block better we will not be able to beat elite teams, we are not bottom feeders by a long shot, but we are not top tier either.

Not true , I knew when we were ahead we were going to lose cuz we run when were ahead and not play our game that got us there or being ahead passing the ball out of the shoutgun three WR not run ! great run by gore but that once in a while !

The playcalling wasn't great, but people are forgetting we were working with a mediocre offensive line with no Pashos and staley.

Sure, the defensive coaching staff prepared well. But Raye...
You can't teach an old dogs new tricks. Lucky for him he's not an actual dog or he would have been put to sleep a loooooong time ago.

With a QB making his first start in how long? And a #1 WR making his second start, ever? And a starting LT who goes out on the first play?
Those calling for Singletary and Raye to get fired over this game need to step back and think about what they're saying.
How about giving the O a little time to gel. This was a game on the road against maybe the best team in the NFL at their homefield.
Its a work in progress, and progress is being made. If you can't see that, you need to rewatch the game. If you can see it but are just frustrated/annoyed/venting, then that's completely understandable, but try to relax a little and show a little patience.
Duder, I completely agree!! Indianapolis only scored 1 TD and it wasn't by Manning. Great job D. We really could use some o-line help though. Outside of the one run, we can not run block. If we can get the right play calls (ie. more wide open play calls) our O would be a lot better with Smith behind center. We kept this game a lot closer than it probably should have been, but my heart still hurts!!!
