Nice write up. I agree with all of it but I'm not gonna blame Houston or Charles for much. Yeah that fumble sucked. Was it possible that he was down or did the ball start coming loose before his knee went down? Either way, he's gotta hold on to the ball.
And I'm just tired of Alex Smith. I've held off on blowing up on the dude here because A) there are tons of posters here who pretty much have that covered and do a better job of it than I ever could and B) I've felt kinda bad for him behind that awful, awful line. But NOW? I'm just done with the guy. **** him. When we have a 3rd down passing situation, not only am I shocked if we pick up the first down, but I'm shocked when it doesn't end up with either a sack or him being flushed out of the pocket only to throw the ball away or check it down for a 1 yard gain. It's just incredible how limited our offense is with this guy. He has pretty decent ability to keep plays alive and scramble out of trouble, but it never amounts to anything. Like....EVER. I see guys wide open on replays way too ****ing much. He's just gotta quit being a pussy and let guys make a play sometimes.
