They do. And they ran it on third down, and Alex Smith threw a STRIKE to Aj Jenkins, and he dropped it.

Yeah, Great analogy. I know you aren't trolling, but do you understand what you are saying? Trent Dilfer and Alex Smith are on such different planets of qbing. Doesn't Test himself? Im sorry, but 3rd and 10 from your own end zone, and you BACK SHOULDER your receiver. If that isn't TESTING yourself, im not sure what is.

Also, the offensive line really needs to step it up in both running and pass protection. I mean, we couldn't convert on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1? With Jamaal ****ing Charles?

All of THIS.
29 pass calls in the first half, with most of them coming from the shot gun. yet, when they put alex under center, lined up Anthony Sherman in front of Jamaal, they DESTROYED the line of scrimmage, and moved the ball at will.
The plays that stood out to me.
The one where they motioned mccluster, and had him run the option with Alex Smith. BURN THAT PLAY FROM THE UNIVERSE.
Then, they ran back to back playaction bootlegs, on BACK TO BACK PLAYS, despite not establishing the run at all.
I swear to god, its like Andy Reid was having a heart attack, and was just randomly calling out plays. it was RIDICULOUS.
