Was the 4th down pass to Kendall Hunter catchable?

and yeah he should have caught it.

My buddy pointed that out to me. Unacceptable.

Ginn not looking for the ball, Walker not securing the catch before running and Hunter not catching the ball hurt us. Those plays lost us the game.

Crabtree and willams should have every ball thrown to them those f**ksticks Ginn and walker should grab some pine..

Yeah. I think close to 88% would agree.

It would have been a great catch but more importantly he was grabbed twice running across the field. If the defender doesn't grab him, Hunter would have been wide open. These things happen. I counting down until the playoffs start.

ask him and i guarantee you he would say he should have caught it :P

Catchable for sure.

These extended plays... Needing to calm timeout, IS killing our 2 minute offense. We barely get to end of games with more then 1 timeout on hand. We had NONE for the last 3 minutes.

don't forget about the false start penalty from VD...that took away any momentum we had brewing there.

Wow, this is a first I've heard something negative about Hunter. I guess people forget that there was a time when Gore did actually struggle this season and Hunter came thru for the team. I admit he isn't as solid as before but he's rarely had a bad game this season.

Typical Niner Talk. Don't be surprised. One week we are super bowl bound and certain players need 5 year extensions...the next we are a one and done mirage and we need to blow the team up. Lol.

This is one thing that is completely missed in all this. Alex Smith saw ghosts again, bailed from the pocket and ran right towards the rusher. There was absolutely no reason for him to run to his right. None.

After 5 sacks I'm sure he lacked confidence in the O-line; he's trying to make a play and not take a sack on 4th down.

it was a DESIGNED sprint out

Yeah, it was catchable...especially after Alex waved to him to let him know it was coming his way. The entire offense was just a click off yesterday...so many chances to put the game out of reach and they just couldn't do it. Harbaugh wasn't happy, nor should he be. I'll bet this is an intense week of practice to get ready for the Steelers. The O really needs to step it up...then again, they had a 19-7 lead and the D couldn't hold it, either. Overall, a very frustrating performance.

Would need to check the replay, but I think Ginn was standing around because he stepped out of bounds already.
Dec 12, 2011 at 7:52 AM
Its crazy that not one of our wr's was at least a step away from a defender.

After all of that time, I'd expect at least one of our guys to be wide open. That is way too much time for a db to cover a decent wr but then again we are lacking in that department.

If Williams isn't our #2 for the rest of the year, I'd be pretty upset with our staff. Pretty clear to see he gets open and gets YAC and CATCHES THE BALL!

If you can't make a 4th and 1 when the game is on the line you don't deserve to win! The receivers gave up, the o-line was terrible and the play calling was subpar. You can blame Smith all you want but how many balls do the Packers drop, how many times does Roger's protection collapse?
