Why does Alex Smiff get credit for wins when our defense carried this team up until the last two weeks?

Because some really REALLY REALLY REALLY want the investment in Smiff to payoff.

They've hitched their wagon to that horse and there are no other horses available now, not that they would change and admit they were wrong.

So his flat-out inability to throw a ball accurately "most of the time" will always be the O-line's fault. And when he gets it in the areas of a WR, it'll be said to be "good enough".

That being said, our offense (sans JC) is a mess. They are all average at best; from the WRs to the O-line, none of them strike fear into any other team's defensive coordinator when it comes time to plan for "Chiefs week"..

Too bad the D got beat up, they really were 75% (if not more) of this team.

He doesn't. Why can't it just be what it is?

This what a difference they make.

In those short highlights, it's interesting to see how many of those snaps where Sean Smith played 10 yards off.

they were zone in those plays. and ya -- smith knew he was outmatched in terms of quickness. that is one reason why they lined up zone. I was surprised to see Abdullah miss his cover during the broncos play & then he took a poor angle, missed the tackle on Woodhead during the Boltz play where Smith missed first.

some in this secondary are not tackling well.

It's one reason I don't like integrating too much zone. Our corners are built for press, and our safeties are too incompetent to play zone. All our safeties would have done the same. At least demps makes a good read now and then.

Even if he typically comes up short.

I'm not sure why you think this. the more talented DB's are coveted for 1/1 cover schemes. these athletes have all the tools to play man cover -- quickness, good feet & speed. That's not the case with a lot of our guys.

but moreover, playing man against a team that is running crosses & rub routes the majority of their passing plays is suicide. you have to play a lot of zone and try to disrupt the catch, not the route.

Because the best qbs in the game are destroying zone coverages. You won't fool them with a blitz, and if you're playing zone with a free release, qbs don't have their timing disrupted. I would rather get beat by a pick or two than repeatedly let Peyton's receivers get a free release. Given how often they run the pick play, obviously other defenses think the same.

Again, we have to stop acting like there is a magic bullet for beating Peyton except for weather and Peyton beating himself. Zone, blitz, man... He's going to beat you often.

In happier news, it looks like Wolfe is a no go on Sunday with an undisclosed illness, and didn't even fly out with the rest of the team.

This was an outstanding clip.

Thank you.

Whenever I see a post referring to Alex Smith as Alex Smiff I stop reading it. I don't waste my time reading posts written by reeruns. It's about as lame as smack can get.

So if you were to slam the man you'd call him?...
