Were you aware of this little 'tidbit'?

Alex Smith needs help. The 49ers' quarterback made strides by leading the fourth-quarter drive to a tying touchdown and two-point conversion against New Orleans on Monday night. Smith was effective largely because the Saints had to worry about the 49ers' running game. Smith will need more of the same from Frank Gore and his offensive line against Kansas City in Week 3. The Chiefs have allowed 3.8 and 2.8 yards per carry in their victories over San Diego and Cleveland, respectively. They haven't faced a running back with Gore's credentials, however. Smith and the 49ers have won three road games with fourth-quarter comebacks over the years. They had a 100-yard rusher in two of those games.

Why does he make it seem as if Alex benefitting from a highpoint on his side of the ball is a rare feat for NFL QBs? Would he mention that Tom Brady had a great game because someone else on his side of the ball also had a great game? It is indeed the fact that because Smith has been paired on the offensive side of the ball with so many poor talents at their positions, his career has faltered.

How about only four QB's have won at KC their first time starting there Montana, P Manning, E Manning and McNabb. Last two Niners visits to KC, 41-0 and 44-9.

Don't remind me of those trouncings. One of them was back in '98 or so with Young and Rice, no? I remember that day as clear as day. Getting killed by the Chiefs and the TV focused on the Chief fans screaming their head off. I even remember a guy wearing a Young jersey but had KC arrows stuck all in him. I wanted to punch him through the TV. Hell, in '98, I was only 10 years old lol.

I know one of those wins was by Shaun Hill...when we went up to Buffalo and beat them...we were the first NFL west team to beat a east coast team on the road that season....

and Buffalo had previously put of 50 something points the previous week against the Chiefs..

I remember I went on the Bills message forum telling them not to take Shaun Hill and the 9ers lightly......that we would beat them.....man did they laugh that off....lol.... their forum was a mess for the rest of that week after our game....I didn't even want to rub it in their faces..it was that bad.

I think he meant games that are in September, the win against the Bills were in week 13.

Well, he has a point. Gore, not Smith, was the man in that game aside from the last drive.

Why do you think he means that? The numbers don't add up if you only count September games.

Its like playing at 10 o'clock for them

Its a big adjustment on the body clock

The NFL should not be allowed to schedule west coast teams at 10 after a MNF game
