You should deduct 7 as the "should have been" pick turned TD shouldn't be a positive. It shouldn't be credited to Alex11 numbers but that's how it's done. I guess you have to credit someone for the pass:-):-):-)IMHO [Reply]

So by that logic you need to deduct the 7 on the Brown reception against Pitt. Then Alex did enough to win that game. [Reply]

I cannot understand why Fisher has hot and cold moments but overall he earns his participation award.
C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS QBR RTG
Alex Smith 25/36 342 9.5 3 0 1-11 84.9 127.3
36 passes and 1 sack Hmmm yeah they suck big time...NOT
FYI these Stats are misleading, they should have a TD removed and an INT added.
What did suck was the Defense and it's performance against the pass. They did contain the run as noted above but
29/52 417 8.0 3 0 0-0 84.6 101.2
Oakland ran 73 plays vs our 59.and neither team broke 100 yards rushing.
I hate that we're the only team with injuries. "Next man up" needs to be less of a gap.
We'll learn from this. Going into year 48 we'll still be the most learned team to have a 48-year SB appearance drought. [Reply]

He needs his offense to score 7 points a quarter to win, not have point miraculously gifted to him. You think Ben should get a TD pass out of that clust**** of a play? [Reply]

He's not adjusting to the fact we can't get pressure with 4 men, nor is he adjusting to the fact we do NOT have the secondary to play man coverage. I will always blame the players much more, but Sutton isn't helping by scheming as if he has race cars when he actually has Renault Twizys. [Reply]

Here's the thing. You have to realize that all defenses in this league are getting torched one way or the other. It's the reality of football in the fantasy football era. Pressure teams are also getting torched by quick hit check down qbs. I don't think pressure is as much of an issue as it is our terrible ball skills when the ball is floated up for grabs. I would hope that's actually fixable. If we had even average ball skills we'd be averaging a few picks per game, and then our defense looks a bit more like it has the past few years. At the same time, Sutton has to make some adjustments to figure out how we stop a smash mouth team like Pittsburgh. To his credit, in most years, we've had these few game struggles and weve adjusted. Hope he has another rabbit in the hat on this one. [Reply]

It's truly insane that not a single one of Carr's passes got picked off. He was basically throwing it into a forest every play and somehow missing all the trees. [Reply]
