Do you think it's our line, or our secondary/skill positions vs. their O?

I do agree Alex Smith has done well but he's not a show stopper QB...

I'd say the front 7, I think the secondary will match up well with their reciever,s.

Good question. We allowed 25 points five times this year: the three losses, Carolina once, and Houston. I keep using 25 because we gotta figure Drew can get three touchdowns in his sleep. Then against a good defense we might have to work for a 4th, maybe settle for a pair of field goals. So when out D starts allow more than 26, 27 points, that's when I get nervous.

I get nervous when we play teams that can score quick, the niner's are more of a ball control, grind it out type O. I don't think they will get 25, maybe 12-17 if we turn the ball over a couple times. Our D needs 3 and outs on these guys to up the tempo.

You are right Smith can't BUT we can hurt ourselves.

This week more than any other point in the season we CANNOT comit tunrovers. Thjis is a "D" that will turn those into points!!

I agree 100%. We need to let them make those mistakes, and if we get up by 2 scores it opens up a lot for our secondary.
