Its this shit that allows defenses to load the box with 8 or 9 guys and shut down the run. They don't have to cover the deep ball because it will never get thrown. It's maddening. But by all means, let's replace every one around Alice Smith so they can pick up our 17 million dollar QB....

Jesus - I'd hoped it was a blown read. It wasn't - he just refused to throw it.

Looked right at him. Had the read right and locked in on Hill. Smith absolutely had to have seen him pull even with a flat-footed Sean Davis, he still tucked and ran.
It was gutless, brain-dead football. Like I said, it was a play that completely vindicated every negative thing ever said about Alex Smith. It was a completely inexcusable play that even SHITTY quarterbacks make with ease. I'm still at a loss.
I get more pissed off the more I watch it. What the **** even caused him to roll out? There was NOBODY THERE!! Sure, Fulton blocked nobody in particular but still, Harrison is too busy trying to put a shot on Kelce. Stand in, make the throw. You probably wouldn't have even gotten hit.
God dammit that play pisses me off. That's the play that will stick with me from this game. The hold means ****-all if he doesn't botch this easy pitch and catch.
Yup - I'm out on Alex Smith. Might not be fair, but I'm done with him. I absolutely cannot believe he didn't let that ball go.
