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.

Really, staring down Wr's?? He never has the time for that if you watch any of the games you idiot.
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
