There is plenty of blame (and excuses) to go around.
I was thinking that this season was a success due to winning the AFC West however if I take off the red glasses, this team is almost exactly like last year. If Carr doesn't go down, the Raiders most likely win the division and the Chiefs go to Houston. Win that game and lose to the Patriots again. Mediocre and built to stay that way. We can laugh at the Broncos for the constant coaching changes over the years however which franchise has a history of winning and which one has a history of "if only"? For all the talent we have been told this team has, it sure looks like a middle of the road team that overachieves at times and underachieves at others. |

Travis may have potential but did he show up in this game? The answer is no - so you fail there. I do agree that Andy lacks the aggressive play calling that is needed and tends to be way too conservative but: We have a shit Oline - we have no running game and they cant pass pro for more than say a 3 step drop - thus Alex getting rid of the ball quicker than any other qb in the NFL right now. You idiots try and make this a zero sum game but try and put on your big boy pants and actually use your brain instead of your little bleeding heart/vag. |

Played a very good team, and still would have had the game tied with a few minutes left... but yep.. another OL fail. This is gonna burn in Fisher's ass for a long while.. as it should. |

Man Smith takes so much heat here it's crazy. Where is the criticism for the same ol Andy Reid who has been the same for 10 years. Conservative conservative conservative. I mean Alex completes the comeback and ties the game but it's the left tackle who screws the chiefs an Alex takes the heat. That was just a good ol fashion playoff game. It was tough, both teams missed plays. Although the chiefs playmakers dropped balls , committed penalties and gave the fans just another excuse to blame the guy who drove them down and tied up the game.
|
Smith is down on my list for blame on last nights failure. He is still just a mediocre qb that will never win a Super Bowl though. The Chiefs are just wasting more time with him.
|
The heat that he takes, makes me feel like chiefs fans deserve Tony Romo

Kelce broke open on a corner route on the failed two point conversion while Smith forced it to a double covered Maclin.

Which one of those moves worked out in this game? None, and that's on Alex? You just made my point idiot. |

I'm a self professed Smith supporter and lover. I'm a Niner fan who comes on here from time to time. I'd give anything for the chiefs to send his but back to SF. Looks like we move in from Kaep. I'd take him back in a heartbeat
|
On at least one of the plays where Hill got open (There were several, and Kelce got open a few times too) there was a ****ing linebacker lined up on him. HOW THE **** DO YOU NOT MAKE THAT YOUR HOT ROUTE? Explain that to me by blaming the defense, or what ever other excuse you dumb mother ****ers want to make for your quarterback to piss down his leg. **** ALEX SMITH, AND **** THE APOLOGISTS.

Foles not getting enough mention here - he has a rocket and would have got us moving down the field quickly yesterday. Cut Alex start Foles.

If your solution is to sign Romo, I'd at least listen to that idea. However, he has a history of choking and he's not getting younger. It seems that a fanbase that is tired of "chokes" may want to avoid Mr Choke. But he has enough ability that it probably deserves a little consideration. |
Foles isn't that great either. He's just not any worse then Alex. Dorsey needs to draft a qb and force Andy's hand. Unless he'd rather tuck tail and run away to Green Bay.

Part of the Reason ? Yes. Does Smith have the ability to rise above and will his team to victory when the game is on the line? Very seldom. Now a lot of this Andy! The 2 of them together do not have the ability to rise above and win the big games when the chips are down! Now this team yesterday was off. Dropped balls, missed open receivers, not blocking on runs,pass or return game. The defense could not stop Bell or Ben often enough to win based on the lack of offensive production. Reason we lost? Starts and ends with the HC! |

Yes, it's on Alex. And Andy. Both shoulder blame. How anyone can watch this guy go dormant for long stretches of games, staring down receivers, hesitating, double-patting the football before throwing to a wide open receiver, holding the ball too long and taking sacks... and think it's not on him is beyond me. Because Alex Smith is so poor at throwing vertically, teams can pay much more attention to short stuff and snuff the running game. The only time the offense has looked good this year was in the couple of games late that Hill was making plays deep down the field and forcing defenses to play honestly deep. Pittsburgh gambled with that a bit last night, and KC didn't make them pay. Alex didn't make them pay. Yeah, Kelce dropped a well thrown deep ball... but there were many more missed opportunities than that. Alex Smith is fine if you want to win regular season games and don't care about being a legitimate Super Bowl contender. If you want to win a Super Bowl, it isn't happening.

Draft our next ****ing quarterback Foles is shit. Sure he can come in off the bench in a pinch but he is no long term solution. He is a backup for a reason. |

It's time to move on from Alex Smith.
Quote:
No he wouldn't take down Brady in NE but he'd be no worse than Alex and I think would have won us the game yesterday if moving the ball quickly was what was required (which it was) In the interim period you draft a QB obviously. |

I would love it if they cut Alex and went with a rookie or Foles.
This team would suck some serious ass and be nowhere close to a playoff team and it would be a glorious thing to come in here and see all the bitch's crying about how its all Andy's fault or Dorsery's fault or Sutton's fault or .....? Dak would be average at best with this oline for gods sake. You idiots really think that Brady would be his all world self with this Oline? Sure, he'd make more plays than Alex but he would never make it thru a season alive. Did you see what he looked like when he got pressured in his game? He freaking dropped to the ground or spun around in total fear of being hit and you think he'd survive this abysmal oline? |

It's going to be a great offseason on CP. |

You think your gonna win a super bowl win your #1 wr cant adjust to a back shoulder throw over 30 yards down the field. Or you cannot run the ball at all? Or pass protect for more than 2.5 seconds? Or you all pro TE drops a game changing perfect pass? Or your LT gets called for holding on a 2 point conversion, which would have tied the game? Or your 3rd string wr has alligator arms and drops a critical 3rd down reception? Get a grip, its a team game and Alex did not play his best but NOBODY on that O helped him out in anyway whatsoever! Not one of his playmakers made any sort of an extra effort play or even easy plays for that matter but hey, lets blame Alex and not even care about the rest of the roster, yeah, your so right I just changed my mind |

Based on what is Foles shit? He won his start this season |

Still we can find better I believe in the draft and we don't have to be stuck with yet another retread quarterback. |

**** Romo unless you want him replace Alex Smith and draft a quarterback so that when Romo gets hurt and crippled for the rest of his life we can start the draft pick prospect and not look back.
|
Yes to Romo

Don't want Romo.....it would cost us draft picks.
Hopefully Dorsey sticks around....Green Bay must be looking awfully good right now. |

Breathe into the bag, bitch! Breathe into it! Deep breaths! You can do this! Now keep repeating this to yourself: "Alex is great. Alex is good enough. Alex is smart enough. Every bad moment in every bad Chiefs loss is ALWAYS the fault of his teammates and coaches, and he never has to take any flak! Everybody loves Alex!" http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thum...-Version-3.jpg |

The thing is these teams drafted these guys and built around them. Investing the time and resources in them. It's hard to win a Superbowl with a QB somebody else didn't want, fact is that is what Smith is a QB another team thought they could move on from. |
Looking at the box score -
Chiefs really tried to put this game in Alex's tiny little hands. 34 passes to 14 runs. In a game where we were never in a two possession deficit. Runs averaged 4.4 yards per carry. Passes averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. |

He has plenty of time to throw, most of the time. No QB gets a perfect pocket all the time. Not even Prescott. The offensive line isn't dominant, but it isn't abysmal like you and others make it out to be. Alex is a big piece of the problem. He's not a QB who can overcome much going wrong against good competition. There are other ones, but that's no 1. By far. Because it's a QB/passing league. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
No to Romo. Yes to going one more year with Alex or Foles with a highly drafted QB sitting and learning for a year.

Hill and Kelce both tried to help him by beating coverage deep. Plays where Alex had plenty of time to find them. But the first sign of trouble he was desperately searching for ware to dump the ball to. **** Alex Smith like the scared little bitch he is.

It's funny that the only supporters of Alex signed up in 2013 on this board. I wonder why.

Maclin had Burns beat badly and Alex threw an outside shoulder pass like a dumbass. Even Collinsworth called it.
"Maclin clearly had Burns beaten but Alex goes to the back shoulder. It's a TD if he just leads the ball to him over the top." |

I really want Pat Mahomes at this point. His running ability, strong arm and body frame immediately make him an upgrade.

The problem this year wasn't Alex Smith. It's the stupid ass offense we ran. It's the spread mixed with the read option. Do you guys really think Romo could run this offense? In my opinion it's not for the NFL. It's a gimmick offense. Last year's offense was much more effective when we ran the ball with Alex under center. I'm not saying Alex is great. I'm just saying we run a stupid ****ing offense. All we do is force the ball to Hill and Kelce. We can't run the ball in this offense. Where are the crossing routes we used to run? You know, Like the one Brown ran on 3rd down at the end of the game. This is our biggest problem. We need to get back to what we do well instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
|
Watching the playoff quarterbacks this year, there's a pretty stark difference in how Smith scans the field compared to the rest of the bunch. Alex's field vision starts to shrink the moment the ball is snapped. He misses so many wide open receivers just because he doesn't have the downfield vision. Watching Rodgers scramble and find receivers is just night and day compared to Alex.

We are definitely stuck with Alex for at least one more year because of the way his contract is structured. I know, it sucks.

I'm no fan of Alex Smith, he is what he is. You can win with him but you have to have a great OL, very good talent at the skill positions to offset his inability to make BIG plays when develop . Alex will get you a BIG play now and then, but not often rough to win games like yesterday or make a Super Bowl run. We could have rode Tyler Bray this year to a 8-8, 9-7 season, seen what we have in him and be in better draft position plus the same place as we are in now, out of the playoffs, watching other teams play for it all. Alex is not the answer! Foles is not the answer! Bray is most likely not the answer but it would be good to know what he could do after sometime at the position. It is said he doesn't process brains enough upstairs to dissect the defense. Well, I don't think Alex does, he doesn't show it. Dorsey needs to take the rose color glasses off! |
Average Smith.
|
All QBs deal with drops. Smith apparently is the only one who can't.
|
Lot of dumb takes in this thread.
Drop passes, no running game, LB covering WR, pouncy owning the nose tackle, looked like some pretty easy culprits for this game loss. QB was not the issue |
Quote:
Plus, the Hunts don't really do QBs in the draft, they don't like new-QB smell.. |
Alex Smith should go to Cleveland.
He'd be the best QB they've had in decades and they're already accepting of failure. |

All year they relied on the defense to score points or put the offense on a short field to score - the luck of the defense ran out (just like a ton of people called early in the year) - and this is the result. |
