Kaep's decision to throw to Crabtree was terrible. In his press conference, he openly admitted that he would take the match-up (Crabtree vs Sherman) 100% of the time. When asked what were his other options, he said the other three receivers. He said he will have to watch the film to see if the other three were opened, which evidently meant that he was dead lock on Crabtree and didn't bother to look at the other options.


BTW, the NFL network shows that his other receivers -- Patton, Davis, and Bolden -- were all wide opened and would have gained an easy 7-8 yards; 49ers had three timeouts with 30 secs at the 20 yard line.


It looks to me like Kaep and Crabtree wanted to win in style by having a game winning TD against the loud mouth but best cornerback in Sherman.


Just terrible decision by both Kaep and Crabtree.
