Well, unfortunately defense only gets you so far if the offense is inconsistent. Well, maybe. Some teams go all the way with strong defense only but it's far more difficult to do than if a team were properly balanced. So far we've been alright on offense but the 49ers are definitely relying on their go-to guys way too much for yardage. Frank Gore can only do so much before people find a way to shut him off. Alex Smith has been playing a good season but I'm wondering how far it's going to last. Braylon Edwards comes back this week so that gives us another weapon assuming that he doesn't drop passes and Smith can get him the ball. Michael Crabtree looks like he wants to start playing up to his ego also which would be wonderful, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I want to believe.
