I was reading last night that the film showed the Jets camped out on the short and underneath stuff... which means the opportunities were definitely there down the field. One of the big reasons I sit where I sit at the stick is it allows me to see all the routs being ran on any given play. Watching on TV doesn't tell me if the 9ers were attacking the Jets with enough deep patterns so I can't really comment on your adjustment take... but I do know Alex had some chances and flat out missed them.

Good point... but if he's going to truly take the next step he's going to have to get over the past and make some more strides forward.

Honestly I don't have issues with how Moss is being used right now. So far teams seem willing to give him a cushion and as long as they want to do that I'm good with taking what they want to give us. I think some of this is about pacing Randy too... keep him fresh and healthy for down the stretch. I have to say I'm impressed with how Randy has played and carried himself so far. Dude is even making blocks down the field... As long as Harbaugh is communicating with him and they on the same page I'll trust the long term plan.

Still it was only 10-0 at the half... and I have to put some of that on Alex. There's no reason we shouldn't have been up 17 or 20.

No shit lol

But this is as it should be
