This is what I take away from the 49ers/Raiders game, late 3rd quarter.

Jason Campbell is better than I thought. He’s also hurt.

Darrius Heyward-Bey is a lot better than I thought. Good for him.

The Raiders could not control Frank Gore and I wonder if they have, indeed, improved their run defense.

Frank Gore is very good.

Alex Smith managed the game well and seemed better and more poised than ever.

The 49ers offense looks pretty efficient.

The 49ers pass defense looks vulnerable.

Mostly, I’ve had enough of exhibition games and I want the real thing to start. I will be in Seattle with the 49ers.
