Play With Fire
Your quarterback threw one interception and literally no touchdowns? We may need to have a little debate here: Were the 49ers actually that great against the pass, or did Alex Smith appear shaky back there in the pocket? What do you think, Play With Fire... should we continue to deploy him with confidence?
