Morning Tailgate: Oct. 31

Posted by Alex Espinoza on October 31, 2012 – 11:09 AM

San Francisco is dressed in orange and black today as the Giants take to the city streets to celebrate their World Series title with a parade on Halloween. Alex Smith got dressed up for the occasion and took in the sights and sounds of the parade as the 49ers enjoy their lengthy bye week.

Smith was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week earlier today after his 18 of 19, 232-yard, three-touchdown performance on Monday night at Arizona. It was the latest display of the chemistry building between Smith and the 49ers leading receiver Michael Crabtree, who hauled in two touchdowns. Crabtree now has a team-high 39 catches for 440 yards through eight games.

Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com examined the confidence between Smith and the 49ers wideout. “Crabtree has lobbied Smith to give him more opportunities even when there is not a lot of separation between him and the closest defender,” Maiocco wrote. “And on Monday night, Smith finally gave Crabtree that chance.”

Today’s Morning Tailgate features Jim Harbaugh’s congratulatory comments to the Giants, mid-season awards and more.

Maiocco passed along the comments of Harbaugh, who said the 49ers are inspired by the Giants’ championship run.

Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee noted the impact of 49ers receivers gaining yards after the catch on Monday.

Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote about Harbaugh’s “gobble, gobble” postgame comments from Monday night.

Pro Football Focus named its mid-season All-Pro list and ranked the NFC’s West’s top players at the midway point of the season.

Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group shared comments from Harbaugh, who believes Smith should be credited for a 20th pass in his Week 8 effort.

Ray Ratto of CSNBayArea.com wrote that he’s not surprised 49ers fans want to see more of Colin Kaepernick.

Mike Sando of ESPN.com said the stock of Smith and Crabtree is rising.

Inman offered his Week 8 grades for the 49ers.

49ers.com’s daily coverage included a look at the team heading into the bye week, Week 8 game notes, comments from Joe Staley and Harbaugh’s press conference (video/transcript).

    what a shock, the national media is once again praising alex smith. they are taking notice that he is quietly becoming one of the most reliable qb’s in the league.comp. pct%, win-loss record, qb. rating, 3rd down efficenciy, not brady,rodgers,or brees like yardage totals,or even peyton manning who is taking the league over yet again. no, alex smith is playing fundamently strong football and it is spilling over to the rest of his team-mates. every nfl qb has his ups and downs throughout the season, clue-less individuals,such as our very own 11years with alex, try to spin it on alex when he has a bad game its his inability to complete the long ball or not looking through his reads and progressions,when in reality, thats what every nfl qb struggles with when he is having a bad game. keep up the good work,us REAL fans believe in you and what you bring to the 49ers. and by all means,,keep proving 11years with no brain wrong,,

    just watched the video piece on nflnetwork with pat willis, and he said some great things about alex, calling him, ” our leader,,the guy has more heart than anyone ive ever met,,with all the booing and negative press he has recieved, he could have split, but he believes in himself and he believes in coach harbaugh and we as his team-mates believe in alex smith 125%, for sure alex can lead us to the super bowl and win it”
    im telling you these guys would walk through fire for alex smith, he is their undisputed leader and they all believe in him, so lets look at this for what it is. alex believes in alex, coach harbaugh believes in alex, and the undisputed leader of our defense says the whole team believes in alex, we, THE FAITHFUL, believe in alex, leaving only 11years with no brain, no leg to stand on with his I hate alex smith rhetoric,,
