Agreed... I wish Andy would keep his foot on the pedal as well.

Chiefs 9.7 and 9.3 YPA last two weeks respectively vs 6.4 first 4 games. Eight 20+ yard completions in last 2 games vs. 9 in first 4 games. That would be something that will result in future success for this offense if they continue it.

The throw Alex made to Conley in the 4th quarter was everything we have asked for from him. He has it in him, he just needs to pull it out a few more times a game. Steps into an incoming hit from a pass rusher, goes through his progressions, and makes a great throw. Most importantly, pushes the ball on 3rd and 17 despite having a lead and only 6 minutes left in the game.

It doesn't mean jack if they only score 17 pts.

Well said. Noticing issues during wins doesn't make you a debbie-downer and noticing positives during losses doesn't make you a homer. Winning the turnover ratio is wonderful but playing a team like NE in the playoffs, especially in NE won't often lead to a lot of turnovers. The offense will need to do it's part. Looking at the big picture is also a sign of optimism as a fan, it's not trying to gloss over a win.

But that will help produce points over time if it's maintained IMHO. If anything it supports the argument that the points are more a result of offensive philosophy with leads the last 2 games more then it is an offensive production issue. I do agree that the philosophy needs to get better, and may not, with Reid. I also think the offense needs to improve.

I don't think looking at strictly offense points against OAK and NO is being fair in evaluating the 2 games nor in predicting future results. There have been other factors. Overall the team is getting better. It's not a straight, steep positive slope like we all would love. There are steps back and major room for improvement. If the YPA were to continue I think this offense will eventually see more results in points.

As always, these numbers are deceiving when it comes to Alex Smith.

Against the Saints...take out the screen pass to Ware and it falls to 7.3 YPA.

He is who we thought he was...and he ain't changing.

LMAO

Add the TD Maclin dropped the drive killers Harris dropped you ****ing dolt. If you are taking away plays. You are such a piece of shit.

Drops happen every game...46-yard screen passes don't happen often.

And with the great 3rd and 17 play, right after came the horrible 3rd and 2 screen. There again though, is maybe as much a play call issue as it is anything else.

BULLSHIT.

pick and choose and come up with a stat to fit your narrative, otherwise you can do it for every qb in the league.

I did long ago.

4-37-1

You're a ****ing idiot and need to be flushed soon.

But Andy Reid teams that lost by 10 or more never came back to win the following week I thought?
What happened to that cherry picked stat again?
Oh wait.....

Kansas City Chiefs @ Indianapolis Colts

11. QB Alex Smith has an adjusted completion percentage of 78.2, fifth-best for quarterbacks.

Alex Smith has gained a reputation for throwing short passes, and rightfully so. This year, his 7.3-yard average depth of target is tied for the league’s lowest mark. On the bright side, he has been throwing those short passes very accurately. This week he faces a Colts team who has the lowest coverage rating by PFF standards, so Smith may have an opportunity to extend that accuracy to the intermediate and deep levels.
