Another great game by Alex

Speaking of Davis, the jump catch shit needs to be put to rest already. I couldn't believe my eyes on the one where he jumped and the ball hit him in his fucking knee. Come on man.

Reminds me of elementary school when we were first learning football. We all tended to jump as we caught the ball. It's unbelieveable that he hasn't broken that habit after all these years especially playing at the level he plays at. No other receiver in pro ball does that. I bet there is no college receiver who still does that.

That dude is going to shatter his leg one of these days with that shit. Eventually the timing on the defender's tackle is going to be perfect, hitting him low just after he gets his leg planted while coming down from that little hop... and with his cleats stuck in the dirt, either bones or ligaments are going to give.

I think it was last week where he did a jump catch and got nailed. He was very fortunate he got hit right before his foot planted.

Maybe he thinks if he jumps up then he's a defenseless receiver? Regardless it's not working because they go after his legs anyway. Think this all started with the seam passes where it makes a little more sense.

Isn't that basically what happened on that bizarre fumble/INT/incompletion against Pittsburgh several years ago? He came down and Troy Polamalu took his legs out from under him? As memory serves, he missed several games after that.

I don't think Eli's second INT was his fault. It looked like Manningham broke the route off.

it was still his fault, the niners had perfect coverage on the play and the result would of been the same. the only thing mannningham could have done was hold rogers to get the penalty instead of the interception

Your math is flawless. I have them losing a close one to the Ravens because of the travel factor on a short week and getting dominated by the Steelers because Rothlisberger will pick them apart with no 49er pass rush. Then each team usually has a game that they lose that they shouldn't lose every season. The 49ers have not had theirs yet. I don't see them sweeping the division. Probably will be the Seattle game up there. 12 and 4 is pretty damn good though and should be good enough for the 2 seed.

Haha, I passed elementary school with flying colors. Saying "I would not be surprised" suggests that something worse (11-5) could happen but you wouldn't be surprised to get something better (12-4). What I was saying was, I would be surprised not to win at least 12, as in 11-5 is out of expectation. I was saying the inverse of what you said. I think 12 is the minimum and if you think 12 is the minimum too, then saying "I wouldn't be surprised" sounds like it doesn't express your prediction, but rather limits of surprise.

it always seems like either smith makes a great throw and it's a drop or a guy is wide open and smith misses him. if the stars aline in the playoffs we could drop like 50 on the packers lol

agreed. its frustrating not being able to connect though but atleast the potential is there

Josh Morgan used to do it all the time. seemed to have fix it though.

What's with all the Vernon Davis hate? The guy does a ton of things very well.

It seems for many that Alex Smith can do no wrong while VD and Crabtree can do no right.

I am going to go ahead and call you all nitpicky.

Got it.........I think. I'm predicting 12 wins as the final outcome. Barring an injury to Alex Smith that is. 13 is possible.

this isn't being nit-picky at all. if you watch other teams all stars, they make these plays. smith,crabtree, and vd should all be held to that standard. when our guys start making those plays, we'll be serious Superbowl contenders. right now i feel like we are just on the outside of the truly elite.

we've been waitin for smith to pick up his socks for so long, we don't wanna wait for anyone else!

Smith will never be an All Star caliber QB like Rodgers or Brady but the team is winning with him and he is exceeding all of my expectations.
VD has already established himself as an All Star TE, he may not make every catch but he is faster than other tight ends and he blocks better than other tight ends.
Crabtree is getting it together.

Which All Star TEs and WRs make every play?

Davis has been well beyong what Smith is now since he got here and Crabtree is progressing quicker than Smith did.

I cannot believe I am typing this...

12-4 would be a disappointment.

apples and oranges when it comes to progression

He has just been a better player the whole time he has been here. Davis has been a top TE in the league despite his OCs and QBs while Smith has not ever been an elite QB.

True, but I can't remember if he actually needed to jump for the ball, or if he did one of his crazy jump for no reason catches... but that is the type of hit I'm worried that he is exposing himself to again by jumping for no reason.

And apparently, since I'm concerned about that injury risk, that means I'm hating on VD and saying Alex can do no wrong...
