Alex smith is a former #1 overall pick who maybe just needed the right coach to bring it out of him. He's playing at a higher level rite now then just averageLook at San Fransisco. What good Coach(well coached team), good defense, above average QB, good runing game can do. It is achivable.
we would have gotten rolled in the postseason unless we got a cupcake like the bengals or tj yates to give us the game...rolled
and hell we could have lost to cinci also...although i think it would worst case be a heck of a game
alex smith that last drive by him was big time...to throw that ball into that window when you can play it safe and kick a fg and go to ot takes stones...if that safety jumps that ball for the game clinching int smith would have never been able to live it down...that was fantastic stuff...
heck he was damn good all game long...all game long...
I think we take Denver too, Pittsburgh was a wounded animal. I say we had a shot against 4 of the 6 AFC teams. Rolled by maybe Baltimore and likely NE, not 45-10 though.
Wow! what an ending and what a job by Smith. I hope he has at least one more in him.

Yep.....that game was won on Smiths arm. 300 yds 3 tds and no picks. He played cool as a cucumber at the end of that game. I saw throws he made that were great. Harbaugh gets a lot of credit but Smith played superbly.
I also think Flacco gets undervalued. The guy is a very good qb. Last year he posted a 93 qb rating and the year before that an 88. Hes not an elite qb but i would put him in the second tier group. I would gladly take him as our qb
alson smith wore out the left side of the saints oline...that bushrod dude was on skates...aldon smith WOW
thats what a top 10 pick pass rush physical talent is supposed to look like
Agree with the thread starter 100%. I live in New England and before our week 16 matchup with NE I guaranteed to many Pats fans we would present a much bigger challenge to the Pats than what was presented in their overhyped matchup with Denver. They thought I was nuts but I was right. There is no doubt in my mind that Matt Moore could have rolled into Foxboro on Saturday night and given the Pats a better game. I also think we give every other AFC playoff team a run for their money. That's what makes this season do discouraging. The 11 Dolphins were not going to be hoisting the Lombardi trophy in early February but they are better than 6-10. The 6-3 run proves that.
You warming to Courtney Upshaw?
