Did anybody else notice, what i like to call, a "football play"? On his touchdown catch the defensive player was playing tight coverage on him and vernon got a little headbutt on the guy, that had to discombobulate him for a split second, just enough time for VD!!! Maybe i'm over analyzing? wooooooo GO NINERS!!!!!

Moss had 23 in 16 games, Rice had 22 in 12 so he would need 13.

Right.

Yeah that was awesome. He and Adrian Wilson hate each other so that had to feel good. He dropped a couple passes but was pretty clutch on 3rd down today.

After todays game Davis has 11, with 4 games to go he just needs 2 more to tie and 3 to surpass.

He also leads the nfl in touchdowns this season, talk about beasts!

I'd be so happy if he breaks it.

3 more games, Philly, St.Louis and Detroit

The Lions alone might as well spot him 3.

Oh yeah! they love to battle, I'll tell you what though, Adrian Wilson was making big plays, Alex go lucky on a couple throws. What a game!

GO NINERS!

VD would already have the record if he could hold onto the ball.

I agree with that. And he didn't drop "a couple of passes tonight", he had about 6 bounce off his hands or his helmet. And he still managed to false start once. He is a mixed blessing.

He would have broken the record already if he hadn't dropped so many TDs this season.

Agree. He would be spectacular if he could just learn to catch better.

I'm still glad he's a niner and I hope we keep him around

I wonder how many Moss would have if he had our s**tty oline and Smith as his QB instead of Brady.

Hell, he could break it vs. Philly.

Philly's CBs are very good, but linebackers are weak and safties suspect. We all know they love to blitz. I expect VD to abuse their LBs and FS/SS and also be the call on the ton of hot-reads Alex will need to throw to due to the blitzing. If we're going to win, VD needs a big game. He presents a huge matchup problem for Philly's LBs and FS/SS that we need to exploit.
