Mark Schlereth on ESPN putting the onus on Alex SMith. Says that the Niners have an effective running game, and there's no excuse for Smith to not take any chances downfield. Bruschi agrees.......says Smith isnt helping the cause.
that effective running game got those points right?

It is pretty obvious why the Chargers have the number 1 defense in the NFL, and number 2 offense.
This was simply a bad matchup, and to play it on the road is simply not a fair contest. I called a 37-20 Chargers win, but I completely overestimated the Niners offense in this contest.
The Niners OL has been abused this entire contest. Both ends are flying around the corner, and Rachal has been...himself. Smith really doesn't have much of a shot back there.

I kind of see this game giving both sides of the issue some ammunition.
Alex fans are correct that he is not the one making bad mistakes (Walker drop, O line has made some bad plays, play calling has been iffy, Dropped INT by Brooks, Penalty by J. Smith) It is clear that this team has tons of issues outside of Smith.
At the same time Smith is not making it happen out there either. He looks too tentative. He hasn't been extremely accurate either. This kind of D is tough for him because he isn't going to take alot of risks, and they are solid in coverage. Also, I hate to say it but Alex may be cursed, I mean how many close calls can go against one team (touchdown, late hit, J Smith) I mean come on!!
WE NEED TO GET THE BALL TO VD. WHY are we running bubble screens to D Walker and not V Davis?
Smith is going to have to come out in nearly benched Smith mode to get us back in to this game but I don't think it is going to be enough

He needs to step up!

An incomplete pass would have stopped the clock. Giving Phillip Rivers the ball with time clock against this defense would lead to points 9 out of 10 times. That's what you guys are advocating and that is why your opinion is worthless.
I gotta give you guys credit........even when he makes the worst decisions, you guys find the silver lining with his atrocious play.
He overthrows Walker on the opening drive AFTER a timeout.........you guys say, "nah, it wouldnt have been a first anyways....chargers were all over it."
He throws a two yard out on a 3rd and long........you guys say, 'nah, he's just looking to keep the clock going so that rivers doesnt get a chance...."
And to think we've had to endure this from you guys for the past 6 years.
