Exactly. The intentional grounding penalty basically just awards a defense the sack they were going to record anyway.

I think he changed my mind as far as his ceiling. Ive always been impressed with the way he elevates his play in big games, but this was another step. He has now shown that he can compete with some of the better qbs in the league. We just need to give him a few more weapons and improve the defense.

LOL
 

He was fantastic for one half of football and then fell flat when we needed him most in the second half. The defense had a colossal collapse but Smith and the offense did as well. I thought that trade stuck us in QB purgatory for the foreseeable future….after yesterday I am assured I was correct

6 of our 7 offensive drives were 3 minutes or less in the second half. Basically the defense was Alex Smith little brother who was getting punched in the nose repeatedly and he had no idea how to make the nosebleed stop.

Didn't we get a loss of down as well?

When you needed him most huh?

How about without Avery, without Charles, and then without Knile.

Oh, and lets not admit how much better the COLTS defense played in the second half.

Its the same as a sack.

Essentially.

He didn't change my mind about drafting and developing a first round quarterback.

Alex has performed every game. Cp has more idiots and morons than a reerun ward

With the sack, the Chiefs would have been faced with a 3rd and roughly 17.

With the intentional grounding they faced a 3rd and 17.

No, Alex Smith does not keep you in QB purgatory unless you think the only sure way to get a QB is in the first round, but that's been proven lately not to be the case.

4 out of the 8 QBs still playing were drafted outside of the first round.

You also don't need a franchise QB to win a SB.

The only thing I can say about throwing the ball away is that at least it's not a fumble or he risk fumble while going down. So intentional grounding is at least good for something.

Average Indy scoring drive was 2 minutes and 32 seconds. How ****ing ridiculous is that?

Man I bet he wishes he threw it away to his left. I do too.

They scored 45 points while only having the ball for 22 minutes.

Think TOP might be a tad overrated?
