Here's the thing...
Alex Smith made mistakes in the second half including clock management. But no more mistakes than many QBs would make in a half.
The defense may have been the worst second half defense in playoff history
The running game was utterly useless
Every receiver/TE not named Bowe did nothing redeeming
The coaching was really, really bad, and that includes not instructing Smith to use the clock better
If you go through the starters from top to bottom, Smith's mistakes are way on the bottom of the list if we're playing the blame game.
