This D is an enigma to me. They were soft as Normandie butter early. Then made some key stops to allow the comeback, then couldn't stop a 16 seconds left FG drive... (which Stafford is excellent at, one of the most underrated players in the league IMO).
Alex Smith played way better than what we could expect out of him, not on him.
Also don't forget we got a couple of nice breaks: the tipped pass completed to Wright (IIRC) that could've easily gone the other way, the PI and then holding calls on Trufant, the facemask flag on CY being picked up (good call IMO but that flag stays 70%+ of the time...).
Better team won. We gotta play for 60 minutes if we want to get Ws ...

I agree 100% with pretty much everything you wrote here.
This team hasn't played 60 minutes of good football yet this year. The offense has played good at times, and the defense has played really good at times. However, the inconsistency on both sides is frustrating. I will give the offense a pass, considering there have been 3 different quarterbacks probably 6 or 8 different receivers, and 8 or 9 office of linemen, on top of installing a new system.
The defense, however, they don't get a pass. They need to step up.
