it would have been a lob so you can't tip that

Crabtree would have found a way to tip it. That's why he's Captain Tip-drill.

Because Alex would have thrown it over his head

The left side of the Niner O-line all agree that the guy was off-sides. They were closer than the refs and a lot closer than you. If you experts don't mind, I'll go with the left side of the Niner O'-line's analysis.

Yup. That's why he has 35 TDs and 1 INT in the redzone for his career.

Did we get the touchdown?

Yes.

Then it was the right read.

He made the play so who cares if he misread it.

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.
