2 Reasons the Niners lost this game

[FourBeeDen]

Case and point: Romo played better than Alex with a broken rib and an inferior OL. And it's not like he had a running game either;

Too many times I see Alex miss a wide open player. That's inexcuseable.

His biggest play was when Walker had 7 yards on the nearest defenser. It's just clear the guy can't make very many throws. He's extremely limited. This isn't news, but the Niners had a great chance to win a huge game and he blew it.

I guess the Kyle Williams TD was thrown by another QB. That was a throw into a tight coverage

10 point lead we had! Good defenses don't let those go. I agree the offense and Alex didn't do anything to further that lead. But i expect more from the defense!

The Cowboys' D did last week.

He shouldn't have taken that sack. He should've seen that Ware was floating to the flat. Instead Smith turns his entire body away from the pass-rush and loses 8 yards on a ridiculously stupid play. Losing 8 yards in that situation is Unacceptable, and it put us in a near impossible 3rd and 16.

IDK... they got to him from the other side, so his blockers stop blocking or were beaten...

I didn't like that play call at all, despite being in hindsight.

I will give Alex, the blind squirrell, full credit for finding a nut on that play. Perfect pass.

Our D was not good last week...our #1, #3, and at times our #2 CB's were out of the game.

No they didn't. The Jets blocked that punt which is on the Cowboys special teams

Look im no smith apologist, but when the offense actually gives us 24 points and the Defense lets them drive down the field late in the 4th qtr and blows a huge coverage to a no named guy in OT then this is def on the defense.

A lot of the times we talk about our defense being the strong point, but they just cant seem to finish games. How do we let Miles Austin kill us like that over and over?

What about the INT that Smith threw immediately after the defense gets the ball back in our redzone? That INT led to Austin's second TD.

My point is that just because the defense gave up a lead it doesn't mean they weren't good. They were on the field too long.

Can't even give the guy credit without taking another cheap shot? You got called for posting a totally BS fact and can't even admit it like a man

Romo had open WRs and TEs....

Alex didn't see much of that....

No, they got to him through the middle. I remember that play perfectly.

I know this might be unfathomable to some people, but maybe it's because Alex Smith doesn't see open WRs?

My point is that just because the defense gave up a lead it doesn't mean they weren't good. They were on the field too long.

The D has to play too and win games as well.... They really didn't see too much time in the first half... our offense had acceptable drives eating clock and the defense themselves forced 3 n outs plenty of times or turnovers....

How much more rest did they need? They needed to make a stop, they didn't therefore stayed on the field.

No Pass rush with soft coverage hurted them and that's on them.

Horrible pass by smith i agree and thats on him no doubt.

Its like is smith the only QB that is not allowed to throw an INT?

You're right, we had a 10 pt. lead - until Alex threw the INT that immediately led to Austin's second TD. C'mon people.

OK, so with Alex veering to his left, he pulled back on the throw to Gore then got hit from the middle. He probably had some time, but was there anyone open for it?

He didn't throw it away and got lost in his head.

I said it was a perfect pass. What do you want? The rest of his play was Chokey & limited.

I never said Alex didn't have ANY good plays? Did I? There's a reason the Niners don't throw the ball very often; Alex isn't good enough to make very many of them. I'd have to look, but I think his total yardage for 2 games is lower than Romo's for 1 game. It's probably close. NFL people know how to defend Alex because he's slow to get rid of the ball & isn't very accurate. And his arm is weak.

Don't say the defense should've held our 10 pt lead when Alex Smith gives them the ball in our own redzone. These apologies know no bounds.

lol that's a different topic... is there a way we can see that play from an overhead view, I like to know who was out there and what routes...
