It will be interesting to see what Alex Smith can do against the Colts defense.

 

[Stryker]

great..i benched gore..64 yard td run..just great

 

[Ghost Rider]

great..i benched gore..64 yard td run..just great

Why in the world would you bench Gore, when he is playing Indy, who is notoriously soft against the run?

 

[Trap Play]

How does Wayne look?

his offensive line hasnt showed anything to warrant him a start, bob sanders was back, and I started Kevin Smith whose got a better matchup..never bench your studs i guess..

Never bench Gore baby.

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

Vernon getting any looks?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Joseph Addai.........good blocker, nice receiver..........terrible runner

 

[togo]

Does Garcon even play?? Is he the Invisable Man out there???

 

[GROMS]

Is Willis playing?

 

[D'OHtis]

Results won't show it, but Alex Smith looks very poised out there. I think he'll make a solid fantasy backup the rest of the year.

His INT was a tip off Crabtree's hands, would have been a tough catch [one that could have been made], but not a bad throw by at all by Smith.

 

[thedudesdude]

Where is Patrick Willis?

Agree. What's happening to INDY's so called vaunted pass D?

I've been impressed with Smith here. I'm giving him credit where it's due to him. He's got some nice weapons.Also showing very good arm strength. Wondering why Hill was starting Week 1 (physical tools between the two really should have been highlighted in practices).As I type, great 2 minute drive led by Smith, resulting in Vernon Davis TD.

 

[MCguidance]

TD VD

Smith has looked very good today.SF is getting pressure and taking away the underneath routes for Manning. Indy needs to either max protect, or change up to confuse.As I post this Manning hits Collie underneath quickly.

Looked amazing on that 2 minute drill there. Used a lot of different weapons and didn't make any dumb decisions.

TD VD

are you asking for one or reporting one?

Stat tracker for game looks slow. Davis caught a TD from Smith.

It was pretty high-off his fingertips.

 

[D'OHtis]

SF getting good pressure on Manning. He's been sacked more times today (3) than he had total all this season (2).

 

[the spanker]

Anyone got a stream to the game? I lost mine thanks.

 

[Ladsud]

Any reason Gore hasnt been in for the last 2 possessions?

 

[D'OHtis]

Pretty sure Gore was in the last possession.

Baskett with another drop. Kendra coulda made those freaking catches.

 

[RageRhino]

so addai had more TD passes than manning - just lovely.

 

[pollardsvision]

I never thought I'd say this, but it's a good thing the Colts brought in Addai to throw a deep ball. They don't seem to have anyone else that can throw the ball downfield accurately today.

I think Manning's the best QB ever, but he kind of stinks today.

 

[Dought Man]

And then Addai threw the 2 pt conversion attempt also?? wtf?

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Joseph Addai.........good blocker, nice receiver..........terrible runner

....good passer....

You need to have someone open and a safety not sitting the route to throw it. Also, SF has done a good job getting pressure on Manning.This has been a very good game with good coaching going on.

The Niners have done a great job getting pressure and an admirable job in coverage, but Peyton's missed an way more throws than usual.That said, no matter what the Niners do with this possession, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last time they touch the ball today.

 

[D'OHtis]

Niners came up short, but you had to like what you saw from Alex Smith & Crabtree today. They definitely made the right decision switching from Hill.

 

[Sarnoff]

Old school going for it on 4th. Like it.

Really was NOT impressed with A. Smith...he can definitely make the throws when he gets rid of it on rhythm, but if that first read is covered he panics, eyes the rush, and looks to run. He did that WAY too many times including a 3rd and 18 play where the Indy defense was thrilled to see him run from the pocket. No, I wasn't impressed at all.

Didn't see him panic once today. His poise was the single best thing I saw today. Very encouraging for the Niners passing game.
