I hate to criticise Davis after his season thus far, but he needs to make that catch if he wants to become 'special'

This sums it up completely!!

Vernon Davis...a probowler....Vernon...probowlers DON'T DROP PASSES. Take from your mistakes, learn from them & grow.

Agree, but I can't stay mad at V Davis he and A Smith both have looked like completely different players this season. Everyone has drops a occassional pass, but 9 in 1 game, a must win game at that, is inexcussable and shows a real lack of focus.

Vernon had a good day statistically, but it should've been a monster day...3 TD's, 150+ yds, etc. I was happy to see Brandon Jones as a WR...he made a couple of nice catches late in the game, even though one was screwed up by the officials with their phantom "push off" penalty. I was watching NFL-N review the games yesterday and even Deion said there was pass interference on Walker...that was another one we should've had. The color analyst (don't recall his name) said he counted at least 9 drops in the whole game...just pitiful. It's no wonder they can't bury teams when it's out there for them. I thought Alex was terrific...his numbers should've been closer to 400 yds and at least 4 TD's. OL played well, to.

This is funny, He did a great job. Sorry but we should have won this game in a BLOW OUT! Sorry VD can't catch, MC can't catch & Gore can't hold the ball. Oh yea, and we spot them the ball on like our 20 with another fumble. Until guys like VD, MC, catch the balls they should catch and we don't fumble away games we will continue to lose. We could have had this game sealed and delivered but we gave it away.

He did a great job up until that point. just cuzz things dont go your way in a game doesnt mean you should just give up like we did on that last drive.

Eric Davis said it best" Until the playmakers step up and make plays, this is going to continue to happen". Which I totally agree with. It's everyones fault. How else do you get an 8% third down conversion rate at Seattle.

Considering the plague of drops, I'm surprised Hill and Jones don't get more looks. Thety're supposed to be sure-handed and are our 2 fastest receivers/ This is the most perplexing. Did they kill someone's dog or somewthing?

Crabtree's got 1 more than DHB. Wonder what the attempts are.
