i have never seen anything like this in all my years of watching football. i said it earlier but what was the best case scenario here? an incomplete pass? so you kick a 19 yarder instead of a 20 yarder? it's just baffling. i'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. thankfully for us he did it but it doesn't make any sense

Why was Kap put into the game for that 3rd and 17 play.... I still don't understand that one.

Trying to make the Eagles think it would be a design qb scramble...?

I liked our chances, because I thought they were playing like the cowboys. Lots of talent, but not that good. We should have beaten the Cowboys. We seem to play better from behind. We don't play conservative ball, and we open up the play book. Anyway, I liked our chances, but I did not pick them to win in Philly.

We missed the same amount of FG's so that cancels it out. What if we would have made ours, they would have to score a TD to win not just a FG

Shaj, some have been saying the short passes were due to play calling not a scared or hesitant Alex Smith. These same people were said to be making "Alexcuses" again. It's amazing that once the playbook opened up and the plays called for passes down field Alex threw the ball down field and took chances.

Being down brought out the best in Alex Smith. 1st half was the same Alex we saw all year. In the 2nd half he started to hit Morgan and Crabtree and our offense finally hit full gear.

We should be thrilled about the win but we're not going to have too many 20 point comebacks. Philly had 3 opportunities to win that game and p*ssed them all away. Great victory, shows that we're moving forward and that Alex is the right quarterback for us, but if we're going to continue to win big games we can't wait to halftime to start showing some aggressiveness.

I sure as hell did... I don't know why but I was just not scared... When They were saying Vick may not play because they thought his hand was broken, I was pissed. I wanted him to play... Then when they said he was going to play, I felt better because I wanted to beat them WITH Vick, no excuses. Hats off to the entire team, coaching, offsense, defense, and special teams. A true team win on the road that I believe sparks this team. This is is the turning point we've all been waiting for..

True. And I thought the CandleStick wind is hard on kickers...
