From horrible to great in 2 moves?

Top 10? Keep in mind the Texans D isn't that great, they had no film on Alex, and they thought they had the game won. Now I hope Alex lights it up next week, but keep it in perspective.

i think so too. it's not solid like it was the first 4 games(the second half they came close though)

Was Ray MacDonald activated today? I don't remember seeing him on the field. He's important, cause J. Smith cannot do it alone, and RayMac can bring the pressure almost as well.

Well keep in mind the Texans D had been playing well lately especially since Cushing has been in the lineup for them. They just held the Bengals to 17 pts last week, so I dont understand why your making all the excuses for them.

And not only did they not have game film on Alex Smith they didn't have game film on us moving the ball through the air period!

Raye and Rachal both need to be gone, quickly.

Okay I just pointed this out on the recent ESPN article (comment section same SN as here) but I'll point it out again for the 3rd time(I think) here.

Raye should not go anywhere. You can't do much with a weak armed duck throwing QB. Raye didn't pick Hill, Sing did. Hell, as as been stated time and again by Sing; Hill was named the Starter for basically what he did LAST season. Raye only had team film on him to go off in that assessment.

Notice that when Smith got in the Offense was working fairly well. Receivers that couldn't catch a cold could now catch Flies ala Karate Kid. And 3 TD catches by my man Duke?

Seriously why fire the one guy that made that happen?

People should temper their expectations a bit and lets see how this plays out. For both Raye AND Smith.

46 YARDS Says I'm right.

Raye is good to go. Anyone that thinks he is the problem is flat out wrong. With Hill the playbook is shortened due to his arm. He was pulled and Smith was givin a chance and he made the most of it. If this is how he plays consistently then we have something special brewing.

For the most part, the playcalling looked pretty good in the second half. Smith now obviously expands what can be done.

My God, if they truly thought they HAD to go into a shell to make the offense work for Hill, then they never should have tried it in the first place. Wow.

Smith has always looked the most comfortable while operating out of an aggressive spread offense.

It takes until the middle of year FIVE for them to finally give him an opportunity to run it.

We need to continue with the spread offense. If we throw Smith out there and go back into a shell, the wheels on the Smith bandwagon with fall off very fast.

I dont know about you guys, but I think this offense can be top 10 in the league..

our receiver core is excellent now with the Crabtree, Morgan, and Davis trio.(assuming bruce is gone after this year)

If alex can spread the ball like he did today then there will no longer be 8 in the box against gore which will make him run wild against defenses.

all this took 2 changes: QB alex smith and signing of Crabtree..

The play calling was fine in the 1st half. the difference is chilo being benched. he was the cause for the 1st 2 sacks

The decisions about scheme and personnel really scare me on this team. They still do BTW. For one ALEX should be the undisputed starter.
