Alex Smith proves the critics wrong! 01/16/2012
If you thought Alex Smith had "small hands". His arm wasn't strong enough. He didn't have enough "zip" on his balls. He couldn't win the "big games". He didn't have heart. He lacked the skill set to get it done. Well, enjoy, all you Niner Nation faithful. Relish the moment. Be grateful for what we have. The greatest play-off game in 49er history. Even Joe didn't have to do the come-back drive TWICE in the last two minutes. TWICE. Alex will forever go down in Niner history for his 28 yard touchdown run to take the lead with just over 2 minutes, but then to have to do it again, with a minute and 85 yards to go! Were you hoping for a field goal. Were you praying for overtime. No. If you were like me and never gave up on the kid with the greatest work ethic that defined "blue collar" Harbaugh ball, you looked forward to this drive. You knew he could do what he always had in him. Get that ball to Vernon, put it in there not once but twice, with pin-point LASER accuracy. And win the game. Welcome back Niner Nation.

Proof of that fact was born years ago in 2003, when NinerNation.com was born! ArchivesCategoriesAll |
