49ers Kicker David Akers kicked an NFL record 42nd field goal Saturday in Seattle.  And what are people focusing on?  The fact that the 49ers had to attempt those FGs in the first place.  Yes the red zone offense needs to be fixed.  Yes Akers had some chips shots because the offense didn’t punch it in from 3 yards out.   It’s a shame how much this is costing David Akers.  Akers is having an all time season here.  Any other position and Akers would be making headlines each and every week.  He’s nailing kicks from all over the place, inside 40 he’s money every time.  But that’s what kickers are paid to do.  Akers the veteran the Eagles cast aside has crushed it from 50+ routinely this season. Let’s give the man some props.
