Harbaugh has not played from behind yet all year. I think tomorrow we find out how he will respond when down by 10+ points.
since when is playing from behind a validation of a teams offense? To me that is more of a validation of a teams defense. You seem confused.
Ok, so the defense is going to drive the ball downfield and score the points required to catch up to tie and/or win the game?
If the 49ers fall behind, Alex can't mount a comeback from two or three touchdowns behind with 0-3 yard screen passes. He's going to have to matriculate the ball down field. He'll have to do it racing against he clock. Instead of standing there and being all analytical about it, he will have to simply react.
The only way you play from behind that much is if the defense allows it and thus far this season the defense hasn't allowed it. Also keep in mind we are averaging 23 pts per game. You act like we are not scoring at all. And again just an FYI Alex Smith has already proven that he can bring the team back when behind from multiple TD's.
