GT, since you made the mistake of engaging me (he chortled villainously), here's a question for you to consider:

One of the great bugbears of the 49ers in recent seasons, one of the most frequent criticisms that was laid at the feet of Alex Smith, was third down efficiency. So how do we explain that the 49ers went 2 for 9 on third down conversions in this game? Was it Colin Kaepernick's fault? Because if you trace back to Week 10, there's been no improvement in third down efficiency at all. None. It can't all be the fault of Delanie Walker's or Michael Crabtree's hands, surely. Right?
