Welcome Back to Alex Smith
Dec 13th
I was the last one off the Alex Smith bandwagon as he was struggling earlier on this season, so it makes sense that I’m the first one back on.
Alex Smith, 49ers QB
His three TDs, 255 yards and 0 interceptions took the 49ers past the Seahawks in some style. And whilst the importance of the defensive showing in this match cannot be understated it was a composed and confident performance.
The post-season is still looking like a stretch. At 5-8 they’re one game behind the Seahawks and Rams but crucially they are 3-1 in the fairly weak NFC West. With the Rams and Cardinals to come after next week’s trip to San Diego there is still hope.

First Look… NFC West
May 16th
For a few years the NFC West was the Seahawks‘ to lose, and they ambled into the post-season on the back of 6 easy games a season. Things have changed a bit since then, with the 49ers and the Cardinals both making progress (you could say more about last year’s Cardinals but I suspect it was a one-off) and the ‘Hawks having an awful year last year.
