Personally, I think Alex Smith has played well, and I have some optimism that the Chiefs O will get better. I guess that makes me a True Fan.

It's not JUST Alex Smith, there are other problems that have been discussed, but he doesn't just get a free pass. Peyton Manning hasn't turned the ball over this year, either. Does anybody think we can beat them going 3 and out for an entire quarter of play?
I get sick of the dink and dunk, too. But I'll happily take it if they get it running consistently.

Most of this, I agree with. OL penalties and stuffed runs need to be less frequent, and the receiver drops lessening would help this dink-and-dunk offense greatly though.
(and small potatoes, but Manning had a fumble lost in his last game vs Oakland)

Read the op. We have the best starting field position of any team and aren't doing a lot with it. I bet we have the most punts in opponents territory of anyone.
FFS we have a really good defense that is built to protect a mistake or 4 without having to pay too severly for them.

Can't disagree with this, really.
