I’m sure you guys don’t remember that old Woody Allen movie that had Gene Wilder drinking Woolite at the end of it. Not sure how these guys tied us at out house and then proceed to lose in their house to the lowly Jets, but that’s football. Some teams match up well with others, some just get your number that day.
And, seeing as that last Ram game very well may be the last start of Alex Smith’s 49er career, at least he went out on a good note. His last throw was a TD to Michael Crabtree, and his last game and 1/3 he was 25-27 for 304 yards and 4 TDs. Anyhow, I’m not here to bury Alex, but to praise him. Or is it the other way around?
This does however, for all intents and purposes, appear to be the start of the Colin Kaepernick era no matter what Jim Harbaugh says. My thought is the Niners come out and try their new QB out and go a little more pass happy. Some of this is due to Kendall Hunter being out, but some of this is due to just getting the kid some more work. They need to get Cappy up to speed for the playoffs and we have 5 games to get this right.
I hope this isn’t going to be as crappy as the last Ram game, but I seriously don’t think the Niners let this one get away.
Forty Niners Forever 
Alex does do a good job holding the chart at the perfect angle for Kap to read.Props to Alex on that manuever.
lol that’s mean
Aldon motherfuckin’ Smith.
There is a safe call on 3rd down, Dennis. Didn’t work any better than the last.
Bottom line: Fisher sucks. His ineptitude only furthers our chances.
Colin can turn that “B”: into a B+ with a good drive here.
And Smith can improve his grade to a A- if he has the water bottle handy for Kap on timeouts.
Another dogfight w/ the the Rams
Yes and no. Their defense is playing well. But not as good as ours. There is always a danger is letting a weaker team hang around within a score though: they might start to believe they can win.
exact
Again the pass pro is lacking on that 3rd down. Kap had no chance. Fortunate to escape AGAIN to avoid the loss.
That ARZ/NYJ game might be the worst QB’d game in NFL history.
Lindley and Sanchez are stinking up the joint.
Any game with 5 INTs and 0 points… not much you can say.
Criminy. Can’t do shit on the D. They are getting in every drop-back.
Got to run more to sell the play-action.
Just like his OT try, it was Florida St.-esque…wide right!
The OL fucking sucks today. Get your heads out of your collective asses.
.
We got to throw deep. Haven’t shown it all game. We also need to do a hell of a lot better in pass pro.
Hard to throw deep with your QB running for his life.
Wow. Throw the fucking thing.
The TV didn’t show it, but Fisher did call a TO there with 2 secs left and Kap had to snap the ball and run and throw it OB to end the half. I was going to say, if Fisher didn’t call that TO he should be fired right then and there. He still sucks.
Whatever, Dennis. The TO did nothing. If that’s what you grade on, you should get your head examined.
7 points for the half. I’ll keep him in the “Bs” despite that last “drive”. Denny, the idea is not to just avoid sacks, it’s to at least occasionally get significant yardage. First quarter-B. Second quarter C. I’m going with B- rather than C+ cuz he’s a kid. I’d give Smith a “C “.
Or don’t. That was a weird little end to the half. Fuck. The line play is awful. Looks like the Niners need to try draws and screens. Nothing else is working.
Maybe Trent does know Chuck….We need more of a spread going.
Trent who? Did I miss something?
I forgot, who gets the ball to start the second half?
We do, we deferred.
Niners.
Pack losing at home to the Vikes at the half. Mason Crosby sucks. Norm, Bing and Kathy Lee Crosby would make for better place kickers…
