Now all we need is to get a #1 reciever and put Morgan where he is better suited, as the #3 reciever. Sticky is the perfect #2.

there is definitely something wrong with P.Willis though I've never seen him stand as flat footed as he was last night.

Willis is over pursuing a lot this year. He got caught a lot in the New Orleans game. He was exposed on a couple of passing plays and running plays too.

He's still our best player but teams are beginning to get this.

Imagine if we had a good QB oh man this team would be at least 4-1 right now

I personally am convinced he's got an injury that he isn't saying anything about. We never seen him be so ............unspectacular.

Vernon surprised me the most with his hands

Crabtree had 6 catches for 86 yards in the first half.

It was obvious Philly changed their plan in the second half to only allow 3 more catches and 13 more yards.

There you go fellas. The opposition adjusted to one of our WR's which was why Ginn probably got more open along with Vernon. Too bad our QB missed them.

Ginn was open several times deep and Smith did not throw to him.

Lost in the funeral for this season this morning is the play of Michael Crabtree.

He looked pretty damn good last night. He made a good catch on that TD and he made quite a few people miss for extra yards. It was by far his best game as a pro.

9 catches, 105 yards, TD.

Hold/Reserve judgment until next week... when Namdi lines up across from him.

That will be an unfair judgement Namdi is the best shutdown CB in the league.

He's a lot more than that. He's deceptively quick and shifty and his hands are remarkable. No way he's not a #1 receiver in this league. We just need to keep feeding him the ball.

i think he's a great possession receiver, too bad our qb sucks.

Crabtree has shown to be very good after the catch on almost every reception this season.

I am confused as to why people feel Crabtree is a #2 WR, is it because he is not 6'4-6'5 with 4.3-4.4 speed like some of the other top WR's? Cause while the measurables of receivers like Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, etc. are great there are just as many if not more receivers that are legitimate #1's that do not have those great measurables. Fitzgerald, Wayne, Boldin, & Sidney Rice are a few players that come to mind that are not fast but are great receivers. Crabtree with a good qb and a good #2 next to him has all the tools to be a great #1 WR, he has great hands, is fast & quick enough and he is strong after the catch. If he becomes a great route runner like for example Marvin Harrison was he could be a down right dominate WR.
