It's the Bills...

...so let's not get too carried away. But holy crap Alex Smith. And Crabtree. Wow. They haven't looked like this against anyone, even terrible teams. This is a very welcome sight.

*FIRST HALF*

  • The penalites were worrying. That crap won't jive against a decent team, and hopefully that's an anomoly. They wiped out too many key 3rd down conversions with stupid penalites. 
  • Jeebus, Alex. Where did this come from? Perfect downfield throws. Of course, he's not facing any pressure, either. That said, I haven't seen him look that good in any game I've ever watched. 
  • That back-shoulder throw to Williams was a milestone. Remember where you were when you saw that. That's the first time in his career that Smith has EVER made that kind of throw. It was a thing of absolute beauty. I'm also glad that Kyle is proving his worth to this team every single week. Good for him. 
  • My boy Crabtree. Finally. More of that, please. 
  • Vernon Davis. 
  • Frank Gore. 
*HALFTIME*
  • Not much more I can add. Offense looked incredible, defense was again dominant. It's hard to read a lot into this since it's the Bills, but, again, the 49ers' offense hasn't looked this good against ANYONE since like 2002. If they've somehow turned a corner then this team is going to be damn near unstoppable. 
*SECOND HALF*
  • Remember when we were the Bills? It's a lot more fun to be a fan of the good team during games like this. 
  • The offense carried over the first half performance. Really really nice to see them play this well.
  • Wow, Fitzpatrick. Wow. What a terrible INT that was. He is awful. 
  • Unrelated to this game, but the Vikings continue to show that they're not a fluke. We can feel a lot better about that loss now. I actually think they will win that division. Them or Chicago. 
  • Kendall Hunter looks pretty special. He ALWAYS falls forward after contact. That's 2 big-time, LONG 3rd down conversions by him today. 
  • This game looks like the 49ers are playing Madden 13 on rookie. 
  • When Dixon is running on your defense like that, you've either given up or your team needs to be contracted. This is kind of an outrageously bad defense. 
  • And the game has reached hilarious territory. 
No idea what this tells us about the 49ers. They're good enough to blow out bad teams, which is good, but the wins over Detroit and Green Bay look less impressive every week. I hope the offense can play this well against a good team. This was really really fun to watch though.
