You can argue that Kyle Williams lost that game, but I would argue that if Alex Smith had converted just a couple of third down plays, Kyle Williams would never have been in that situation.
Alex Smith converts just a couple of third downs here and there, the 9ers would have been in position to score a couple extra points, and that second fumbled punt would never have taken place.

This got lost in the madness that was Kyle Williams two **** ups. Part of the reason franchise QB's survive and make it to the SB is because they are able to overcome, or in this case, avoid situations where players on their team make mistakes. The 9ers would have already won the game if Smith had stepped up.
