Gotta Keep Things In Perspective.... | Page 2

We got our first win of the season! About fricken time. Anyways while I'm obviously glad we won, we can't get too ahead of ourselves and be too optimistic. Just Remember: For almost 3 quarters the offense stunk, the line stunk, the playcalling stunk and Alex Smith stunk. Don't get sucked into thinking we are a good team (kind of like what happened after the Saints game although we lost that one). We are not a good team, we do not have a good QB, our playcalling is not good and this team has a lot of problems. While I do expect a win against Carolina next week, I think, like this week, it will be ugly and unimpressive to say the least, but ultimately I will be happy to get another win.

Had we lost this game, Alex would have most likely been benched based on his play today. He had 2 good drives, stunk it up bad the rest of the game.

The fans were desperate for a win. We got it. Unfortunately, this means another 2 weeks of Alex (until the bye) and Sing's philosophy gets an extension until the end of the season.

You were either drunk or blind. The Oline play was horrible; it was not on Alex

Alex had his chances. He didnt take advantage of them except for the 2 drives he put together for the scores.

did those 2 scores win the game? yes or no?

See my original post. HAD we lost the game, Alex would most likely have been benched based on today's play. But since we won, those 2 drives comes to light as an accomplishment. Just like last week, when all Alex could do was muster 2 good drives.....no one took note of it and the majority of fans were asking for him to be benched.

Possibly the worst Oline play in a very long time. Staley was completely owned & b***h slapped.

+1

What on Earth would possess an alleged fan to come here and whizz on our first victory?

If they had their starters, we don't play nearly as conservative either.

The great thing about teh interwebs is that you can run your mouth about something, be proven wrong beyond the shadow of a doubt, and then just stop posting.

No social consequences. It's a great place, isn't it? Mmmm... interwebs.

Also, threads like this are so weak sauce. Way to take a stand, man. If you're right, you get a warm fuzzy. If you're wrong, you still get a warm fuzzy.

Not that I disagree with any of the analysis.

Does it make me sadistic to enjoy watching pessimists squirm?

but being a football niner . we have lost so many close games momentum could have easily shifted the raiders way trust me a win could easily start a turn around a season , and the offense has to step up

1-5 is just as ugly as 0-5. Its hard to be optimistic right now when the 6th loss is right around the corner....... Just don't know its going to show up......

While I'm sure we're all very happy about the win, you have to admit it was ugly. And I'm not trying to be picky, a win is a win and this point after being 0-5 I'll take whatever we can get.

But the offense looked so bad the first half. I'm really stunned as to why, after 6 games, they still don't have it together. I don't think anyone here was expecting a #1 offense before the season, but the O has struggled so much it's depressing. And the d hasn't been great either, but holding the Raiders to 9 points is what we should be able to do.

Next week we play an 0-5 team on the road. I expect it to be ugly too. Just look at our record on the road and how much we struggled last year against the Rams for the first half.

I'm hoping for 10 more wins though.

If we can just fix that pourous Oline with a weak schedule facing us, possibly we might be able to salvage the season. This is no super bowl team right now.

I was happy with the progression of the game. Yes, we stunk it up the 1st quarter, but worked it up little by little after that. We won.

I don't care what you have to say. say 'it's just the raiders'. guess what? they have a better record than we do. they beat the chargers. are you going to say Rivers is just as bad as Alex? Why not enjoy the win? Why not look at the game as something to build off? Frank finally running. 2 TD and no INT for Alex?

This is a game to enjoy, to celebrate, and to build off of. Alex was finally getting the completions he needed. Don't look at this as fluke. Look at it as a step in the right direction

Now excuse me while i go pour a glass of scotch and light up a cigar
