49ers beat: 3rd down woes
After a game and a half of leading the San Francisco offense, Alex Smith knows what ails the 49ers, at least on offense. "Consistency is what we're lacking," he said Wednesday. "In the few times we've put ourselves in bad situations, 3rd-and-longs resulted in...

Defense was a hit
The performance of the 49ers' defense against the high-powered Colts drew rave reviews both for its design and its execution. The offensive strategy, though, came under question, partly because it succeeded so well during one particular stretch. Aside from...

Smith didn't win, but quarterback's a step closer
