The player of the game is Frank Gore.
The go ahead TD drive was dominated by Gore and Hunter. The final drive when the niners simply needed a first down or two to secure the win (and the eagles were putting everyone at the LOS to stop the run, Gore still rumbled for 5 yards a carry and sealed the win.

Why can't the line block like that all the time...
Also, I know you don't like Smith, but considering who we were playing against and their strengths and weaknesses, I think Smith should be the bigger story.

I don't dislike Alex but he has sucked for a long time and still hasn't played a complete game (played well for an entire game). Yesterday was awesome though and he stepped it up bigtime in the 2nd half. He played a big part in that victory but it was Frank Gore that came through in the clutch and put us over the top.

We were playing against the now 1-3 eagles. That highly touted secondary has not played well this season.

Because the passing game opened up the run, it's WCO at it's finest!

Even if Smith goes on to have a HOF career, Niner fans are going to complain and say he sucked for the first 6 years of his career.
Ridiculous...

Totally agree
When has the TEAM ever played well for an entire game? It takes more than just one guy to execute on every snap, hell even before the snap. So if you can ask yourself that question you'll have your answer.

After yesterdays game they give up 217 per game putting them at 11th. Not what they are paid for but still good nonetheless And like another poster said thats the best game against them this year out of Ryan, Eli and Bradford. What does a complete game matter? Is this baseball?

He played a complete game. He had a few unfortunate drops early, but he played a complete game. If QB's played complete games, we would see a lot of 6 TD games.
Through 4 games, Alex Smith has yet to be the reason why we lose and has been a big part in us winning every game.

You will never get through to that one. Watched him for a long time. He will never come around to Alex Smith.
Glad to see you somewhat staying open, JC... backwards compliments at times or not.
