Exactly. Gotta love how Mangini was all "Alex got lucky." Really? Perfect ball placement is lucky? Gee, I can't believe no one has offered this guy another coaching job

Don't care if he was offsides as you still need to take care of your QB. Staley should have tackled him rather than giving him free access...though perhaps he couldn't catch him, even by the ankles.

But, as bad as the start of the game was with this play and the penalties, the 9ers really held up well. They are one tough team and I am so happy to be a fan.

Yes.

Then it was the right read.

It hurts when u can see it coming like that.

idk i thought there was a glimmer of hope that smith would step up in the pocket, but no

he had enough room to take 2 steps up, he took 1 and bam he was stripped already, because staley was sucking bosch's cock.

Even if he did read zone at the line it's still the right throw. I don't think we can know if he read zone or man from that.

I'm sure he noticed the safety on the WR and the CB on the TE...that tells you it's zone.

What's with the Crabtree hate?

Anyways anyone complaining that the route was the 2nd most likely to score is an idiot. We get that read 10 times we score a touchdown 10 times. Well he might have dropped the ball once or twice but you get the point. The play was there.

Yeah, it was like it was happening in slow motion...

What I love the most about that sack strip, is how Alex was kinda looking around like... WTF just happened, I would have had an open WR.

The broadcasters kept saying that "suH" was pushing the middle of the pocket back towards the QB so he didn't have room to step up. (you could be right, I don't remember completely if he had tons of room, it did look like he had enough space to at least step up a little bit, but he really looked surprised that he got hit that fast.

It's not like Smith had a controller in his hand.

These guys get paid to talk, if there is nothing there talk anyway. Mangini has been fired twice and he's desperate for #3. Maybe there is some owner that believes what he says and signs him or McDaniels or Weiss or Crennel to a long term deal.

yea i saw the play multiple times he had lots of room, he's managed to step up and avoid those kinds of sacks before so during the play i thought he might do it again

This...it was a perfect play. Alex correctly read a small DB on Walker and that's a big mismatch there considering we only need a few yards. It was a perfect read.

Agree
