During his first three years with the 49ers, Vernon Davis was a familiar target for fans' displeasure because of a pair of hands that at times resembled frying pans for the number of balls that clanged off them. They've softened up quite a bit this season....

I got stuck watching the New England Patriots abuse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across the pond in London during the early games. I thought we sent this game overseas so that no one here would have to watch it?

And has 3 passes to Vernon Davis for 3 TDs. The 49ers are down by three with 3:43 left in the game, but have been dominant in the second half. More importantly, Alex Smith looks very, very good. In case you didn't know, that's not good for us. To be fair, the Texans hadn't gameplanned at all for him, and he's a very different QB, so lets see how he looks in Week 8...

Young Alex Smith was a nice punching bag for our jokes to land as this site launched in late 2005. He was the big-money guy who played like a guy, well, who couldn't hold onto the football very well.Humor turned into sympathy as the guy could never really latch on. Hard to feel bad for a guy worth nearly $50 million, but the guy tried hard, failed, got hurt, continued to fail...
