if Alex throws for 358 and we lose it doesn't matter too much. I can't believe VD dropped that TD.
No that was a bad pass.
THE BLOODY THROW HIT HIM IN THE FACEMASK.

The game was based on the last drive not the missed catch guys, If that's the case the miss catch from branch should of been a TD but he didn't catch it. It's football mistakes happen, Alex managed the last drive very poorly with terrible throws. He still has not performed under pressure and that has been my issue with him. Can he get the W when the games count? Still has not proved it to me and won't this season!
Hope there getting Nate Davis some reps for the last 2 games of the season cause were not going anywhere.
My apologies, jdt84_2. I'm just really emotional right now.
Yes, you can say this and that. But at the end of the day, the players around Smith did not help him out at ALL. 10 dropped passes. Are you kidding me?
Gore's fumble is on Alex Smith as well, huh? Smith drove us from the 1 yard line on that drive only for Gore to cough it up when we were in FG range.

After that, it is disingenuous to say Smith didn't perform well under pressure.
Although the loss stings bad..Alex is definitely looking like he has "it" now. What's killing us now is the lack of run blocking. The lack of run game. I'm very happy with the way our pass game is shaping up, particularly with the way Alex is starting to take command of it.
