1. Alex Smith is usually very cautious about throwing the long ball. Not this game. 2. Chief's ran the shit out of the ball. Sometimes not very effectively. Why? Probably to tire out our DL. At least, that's my idea. 3. Where the hell were Kerley and Amaro? 4. Vick needs more practice time with his receivers, when somebody does get open he doesn't see them. 5. Stick with Pryor, at best maybe he gets it, or he helps us lose. A win-win situation. 6. We're so bad they say we need Johnny Football.
No, and I do not know if there is a team out there less capable of converting on a 3rd and 10+ yards to go.
All of these posts are just - In different vernacular. ( in this plot, Geno is the red shirt who pretends he's going to be important and then dies 10 mins into the episode )
That makes no sense though, Amaro has been the best receiver we've had this year. Most receptions, solid hands, gets open, huge size. The thing is, it wasn't that close. You can see pretty clearly Harvin is down. I've seen lots of plays like that against us, where the ball comes out late, but the Harvin one was the only one I remember where they called a fumble.
In slow motion, it was pretty obvious. But in real time, it still happened relatively quickly and there wasn't any harm in ruling it a fumble so they could take a second look. For all we knew at the time, Harvin managed to not touch the ground and it could have really been a fumble but it's so fast we don't see it. It was the right call to make.
