Week 7: Thursday Night Football - Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers

[Caveman24]

Alex Smith starting to scare me I hope we get back on track we need to run the ball short passes get back to our game

[Seahawk76]

I'm expecting a tough, hard-fought battle. If the Seahawks can win this game they'll be in pretty good shape since their schedule gets somewhat easier in the second half of the season and the rest of their divisional games will be at home.

Starting to scare you? He had a great game the week before. He had no had this bad of a game (interception wise) in 3 years. No need to be chicken little yet. He is not as good as he was in the Bills game during the first half and he is not as bad as the Giants made him look.

No idea but he wouldn't be leading. I expect that Gore would be leading and I'd expect Randy Moss to step up and lead in that situation as well. Either way I'll take him over a 9 fingered Alex Smith.

The Seahawks are the one team in the division (sorry Cards fans) that worry me a bit.

Stick to what we do best (run, play D) and we'll be fine. Start airing it out again though, and Seattle's defense will give it's offense some short fields.

I watch every game hasn't missed a 49ers game in the past 7 years Alex Smith looked great vs Bills and Jets but Vikings and Giants he looked different seems like vs elite pass rush this year he's not getting the ball off fast enough like last year those Vikings and Giant games idk whether it was our rushing attack defense but whatever it is he didn't look like he has last year im saying he looks to be a little more rattled especially that Giants game Alex Smith has the same thing Romo,Rivers has they shut down badly lose focus and im just hoping Smith doesn't fall back into his old ways that's all Alex Smith last year and a little bit off this year doesn't make me just up and forget all those other 6 years so for me to have concern its not out of the question with him right now especially with the defenses were about to facing coming up (Seahawks,Cards,Rams,Bears)

This is the bane of every QB's existence. No QB can do anything against hellacious pressure like the Giants were getting Sunday. Look how mortal Brady and Rodgers looked against Seattle this year. Look how Peyton played against the Steelers in the early to mid 00's. Check out how average Brady looks every time he plays the Giants. Not putting Alex in their class, but pass rush ruins ANY offensive game plan. Alex is going to be just fine, as long as that finger heals up, it most definitely affected him Sunday.

agreed but last year he seemed much more calm in the pocket he relaxed made his reads and made the right pass this year he's holding on to the ball to long not as bad as his previous years but at times he blanks out especially that Giants game I just don't want to see him get into a slump like he did vs Vikings and Giants just want to see that confidence that he had last year thats all
