Three and a Half Hours Wasted

Tying the Rams wasn't exactly what I had in mind for yesterday's NFC West contest with St. Louis. Both teams had chances to win and both teams failed miserably. The Niners' defense caved when it mattered most and their special teams unit allowed crucial first downs on two (TWO!) fake punts.

And all of the fans clamoring for Colin Kaepernick to replace Alex Smith may just want to take a step back and really think about that decision, okay? For all of the flashes of brilliance the Niners' #2 quarterback showed yesterday, he also showed twice as many moments of indecision and unpreparedness in the pocket. Get well soon, Alex.

Probably the most disappointing outcome of the game was how many players (and fans) still don't understand the NFL's overtime rules. If I'm getting paid to play (or paying a bunch of money to attend) a game, I sure as hell should know when it ends!
