thats what i thought

Sadly, Alex Smith only needed to be mediocre, that is to say, he only had to come with in 5 yards of his WR on anything not involving a check down. Frank Gore was eating us alive.

Smith was 9-19 for 129 yards for a TD in largely a half

Carr was 5-13 for 67 yards and an INT

Of that 67 yards, 40 came with Carolina in prevent.

Before that drive, he was 2-7 for 27 yards and an INT. And before facing prevent, he didn't complete a single pass for a first down.

In the second half, San Fran scored 10 points: 7 off an INT return and 3 after a fumble. The FG drive after the fumble did not have one single completed pass. Not one.

Even Carr's 3 completed passes while facing prevent consisted of:

1. one 4 yard completion to the TE

2. one 18 yard smoke route to Ginn (all run after catch and missed tackle)

3. one desperation pass to Frank Gore that resulted in a hook and ladder drill.

4. three incomplete passes

Alex Smith didn't light it up (4 passing first downs and a passing TD), but he at least moved the ball occasionally. He had 5 drives, only 1 of which was a three and out.

Carr had 6 drives, 4 which were 3 and outs (again, never passed for a first down till the D was in prevent)

Keep in mind we won because the rookie did not start at QB.

Keep in mind Barack Hussein Obama won the Presidency because the previous President was the worst moron to serve as the President of the U.S.A..

Could of. Should of. would have.

If you are going to talk about what could have happened had a big play not happened, then ok...what if Alex Smith would have played but Gettis would have also hung on to the dropped TD?

Then what?

You can come up with multiple scenarios where the game could have unfolded differently but in the end it happened the way it did. Our guys made the best of their opportunities and our offense stepped up. Can't take anything away from them.

Next game you will have plenty of other "what if" situations. No game ever goes like you plan. That why we play the games and that's what makes this sport so great. Every other week you have an upset, every week you have an amazing play, or someone gets injured and goes out changing the entire aspect of a team. Every week you have a bad team upset a better team.

Injuries are part of the game. As a team you should prepare for situations like this in advance the best you can.

[Delhommey]

BTW Carr did so well, they're starting Troy Smith against Denver.

Perhaps some of you should call the 49er's to point out their grave mistake.

[Happy Panther]

This was a win. Not sure if you can call it a quality win.

But 13 more of those and we will have had a great season

[Serrao]

rofl, two of the worst teams in the NFL played each other and we barley won. A team that lost their starting QB and is at the bottom of the NFL is not a good measuring stick.
