But anyone who is OK with Alexs performance this season because of his stat line after watching today's game needs to get their head examined. What we saw today is we have exceptionally talented receivers who will get the ball if you give them opportunities to make plays. It's literally the one small element of Alexs game that would elevate him immediately. Hopefully Alex sits out one game as a precaution and Alex can see foles successfully take shots downfield.

Yes but the O-line is finally coming together for the first time in 3 years. Last 3 games we actually have O-line stability. we aired out the ball more today because the running game got shut down. Both quarterbacks got adequate time in the pocket which is a foreign concept for us. Smith is slowly returning to 2012 form where he was 70%, QB rating 106 with the Niners and didn't have to run the ball to get first downs.
