I agree. It is missing. I just happen to think it has more to do with factors outside of the qb.

There are certainly other factors.

And it's designed like that because Alex is limited and won't throw downfield.

His philly offense looked nothing like this.

Which is why i believe Reid doesn't get the credit he deserves around here.
Or the blame he deserves.

Or the blame he deserves.

BS, Reid had Jackson and Maclin on the outside. Not only that, his OL was anchored by 3 All-Pro caliber players in Peters, Mathis, and Kelce.

Does he have anything close to that here? The answer is a resounding no.

OldSchool

The one year that Reid lost his top OL players, Reid and the Eagles had a poor season and he was fired.

You think he might have learned something from that experience of getting Vick killed while waiting for deep routes to develop behind an OL that was missing Peters and a bunch of other starters?

He knows that this OL sucks, he knows that the team lacks a true deep threat (not just pure speed but the ability to track and adjust to the ball down field and win in 50-50 situations).

Ever since the Miami game, Reid hasn't called a 7 step drop from deep in his own territory. He knows that he's just asking for Smith to be sacked behind this OL when he calls those plays. The OL can't hold up and the WRs can't get open.

DeSean is right at the very top of deep WRs in history. He has like a turbo button to hit and runs by the defense.

Does KC have a 2nd tier deep guy? AJ Green? Vincent Jackson? Torrey Smith? T.Y. Hilton? No

KC has the 3rd rate Donnie Avery. And he hasn't even been on the field.

It looks like and you here announcers seeing the double move deep stuff being called a few times a game but the O-Line has to hold and Smith has to wait and look deep. Those 2 things happening at the same time is rare.

Last week was a small step in the direction of breaking out bigger pass plays
Signature Stat: Completed both pass attempts 20 or more yards downfield for 46 yards with a touchdown.

That's bullshit. Our WR corps could definitely use an upgrade but we're not in such shitty shape as you love making it seem.

I don't know when you guys will start to see that Alex just doesn't use his receivers like others do. We've played a game without Bowe and several without Avery. Why do you think it is that we literally don't notice a single bit of difference when a guy sits out?

So you wouldn't take Auburn's top duo of Coates and Williams over Bowe and the other crap that is trotted out there?

Of course I would.

You confuse potential with production, though. I'd take Amari because he has potential to be great. Truth is, at this moment he likely isn't a better NFL receiver than Bowe. A lot of NFL receiving corps around the league have potential but not the production to match. That's why I say their situations are comparable to ours.

On a side note, know who else, besides Benjamin (won't pretend that I liked him in the draft, but he has been great in the NFL so far), would have helped this offense a lot? Joel Bitonio. Every bit as good as Cowboys' 1st round rookie Martin.

Which, believe it or not, is to be expected because he's practically a rookie. And while a fuck up by Kelce won't be enjoyable in the short term such a fuckup won't necessarily define his career in the league.

Hey, don't forget Mario Alford playing opposite White! He's been good too.


Bowe has been doing alright lately, but since getting paid well, he's a marginal #1 and good #2.

Avery should be no higher than any team's #3.

AJJ, Hammond, Hemingway? #4 receivers at best.

Who the hell knows on Albert Wilson. Looks like he could be good, if he could get on the field more than twice a game.


So yes... this is easily a bottom 5 wide receiver group. There's a reason why the entire draft world had us going with WR in rd 1 or 2. There's a reason we clearly tried to bring in Emmanuel Sanders.

.. and there's a reason why Bowe, Kelce, Fasano, and JC (little DAT too eventually) get more targets.

They are the higher % targets.. and have far more talent than the rest of the slop. Watch what happens when ANY of Avery, Hammond, Hemingway, AJJ get released into the NFL population. They will either disappear completely... or be signed to vet minimum deals.

You know it... I know it... everyone ****ing knows it.

It's not just beating the Bills, it's continuing to win. The post season isn't here yet but if they continue to win they'll be there to have a chance to answer all your postseason concerns. How hard is that to understand?

Anyways here's a cool little segment with Jerry Rice explaining the 49ers woes.

"The timing is not there you know the 3 step drop where you get the ball out of your hand, where you don't give the defensive line time to get a sack."

How familiar does this sound? Alex is doing exactly what Rice says the 49ers need to do.

49ers offense is bad. Worse than 2011.

Harbaugh era is consistently top 10 in pre-snap penalties.

Redzone offense has always been bad. Only time it was good was 2012 when Smith was playing.

49ers rush attack is still good. 4.1 avg seems low but longest run in 28 yards this year so the avg gain per run really is about 4.
That is what you want to help a QB and offense.

The part that's hard to understand -- mind boggling, really -- is how a few wins always (as in every time they've ever strung a few wins together) sends us down the same path. It's not like we had these same conversations last year when they were 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, 8-0, 9-0... and at 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, people were slobbering all over the NFCE wins, dismissing the "haters" in the exact same ways, because you know, that Chargers win was really impressive because they had already beaten the likes of the Bills, Jags, Jets, and Raiders!

So, just like I said last year, the Chiefs could be pretty good. They might be the best team out of very large number of middle-of-the-pack teams that aren't either completely awful or legit contenders. Unfortunately, they get very few regular season tests to prove otherwise, so yes, it's pretty much all about evaluating what you see during those tests and then waiting until January.... yet, all the backlash every single time they win a few and someone says, hey, what about...?*

True. He wasn't holding for 4 seconds like Geno did but he was getting hit after 2.5 seconds. He was almost always sacked moving backwards/sideways.
O-Line in the Eagles game let guys through right up the middle and can't blame a QB when that happens.
But when you spread the field with WRs and the Rams rush you are supposed to beat the pressure with a quick pass.

Teams are happy to let Kaepernick beat them if he can complete a handful of passes on a long drive.
Problem for the 49ers is he will for a bit and then fail and so it is a punt, FG, or Turnover.

Somewhat... If anyone says anything critical of Kap, he is instantly labeled a Smith-bater even if that poster didn't say anything at all about Smith. You aren't really allowed to actually talk about Smith - the Mods just delete your post. There used to be threads about Smith in the "NFL section" but those get deleted now as well.

The hypocrisy of those folks who used to scream "Alexcuses" to the ceiling, now using the same exact excuses for Kap is really unbelievable. It amazes me that they don't see the hypocrisy in their posts.

But the polarizing debate is pretty much the same. Everyone rails about how stupid the debate is and yet linger on and on in the thread, unable to stay away from it. It's pretty amazing how polarizing the guy is... for his part, he just goes out and plays football. Not at all flashy, pretty workman like game after game. Does what he can to help his team win games. Buy all accounts from his teammates a good leader, certainly never a cancer in the locker room, good community guy, family man, no waves what-so-ever... and then all around him - this unending massive shit storm of debate!

You aren't really allowed to actually talk about Smith - the Mods just delete your post. There used to be threads about Smith in the "NFL section" but those get deleted now as well.

The hypocrisy of those folks who used to scream "Alexcuses" to the ceiling, now using the same exact excuses for Kap is really unbelievable. It amazes me that they don't see the hypocrisy in their posts.

But the polarizing debate is pretty much the same. Everyone rails about how stupid the debate is and yet linger on and on in the thread, unable to stay away from it. It's pretty amazing how polarizing the guy is... for his part, he just goes out and plays football. Not at all flashy, pretty workman like game after game. Does what he can to help his team win games. Buy all accounts from his teammates a good leader, certainly never a cancer in the locker room, good community guy, family man, no waves what-so-ever... and then all around him - this unending massive shit storm of debate!

Wow the Niner boards sound like straight up Nazi's, almost like Orangemane west... except the mange allows dissent within the ranks, but NOT from rival fans, those carrot dicked bitches.

Are all of the most popular boards like that?

It makes me thankful for the anything goes attitude of this place, it puts the old canard about midwesterners being small minded to bed for good... if anything, it makes the "liberal" west coasters look small minded and unwilling to tolerate criticism.

Teams are happy to let Kaepernick beat them if he can complete a handful of passes on a long drive.
Problem for the 49ers is he will for a bit and then fail and so it is a punt, FG, or Turnover.

This...

This is essentially what I wrote in a thread in the NFL section which was soon deleted because a few haters jumped in and made it into a smith vs Kap debate. I was asking the question if Kap had the patience to run a WCO? He has all the physical tools to make the big play, but does he have the patience and knowledge to make the hundred little plays that the WCO requires for success? Their offensive line is playing surprisingly bad considering the talent they have there. They need to rely on the short passing game and running game until they can correct whatever is happening up front, and it remains to be seen if they will be able to pull that off.

Maybe the line will get itself corrected and the offense off to the races. We'll see, but I do think it is interesting how many are starting to see what it was that Smith eventually brought to the table. They may still like and prefer the "high ceiling" that Kap supposedly has, but at least many are now appreciating what they had in Smith.

Alex is moving up.

Alex Smith: I hate the word "efficient" for quarterbacks, but it really applies to Smith's season. He only tried two long passes last week, and he connected on both of them. The Chiefs' offense is the equivalent of the sleeper hold. A strong game in Buffalo this week would move him a tier.

While Kap is moving down.

Colin Kaepernick: The 49ers can't decide what they are. When they go to a spread attack, their tackles can't hold up in pass protection. Everyone wants them to just "run the ball" but they struggled when they tried against St. Louis. Frank Gore has 39 carries for 107 yards over the last three weeks, for less than three yards per carry. When teams blitz Kaepernick, he hasn't shown the awareness to change plays or find checkdown passes.

How ironic?

It is really interesting that all the things that the Niners really need RIGHT NOW in a QB is all the things that they just traded away to the chiefs.

I think Harbaugh is a good coach... and you don't go to the NFCCG 3 years straight if your coaching staff is shit. Not to mention I think the niners have one of the deepest benches and talent in the game... So I think they will be fine. They'll get this offense figured out somehow. But it sure is glaring right now that they are trying to coach a little bit, or a lot bit, of Smith into Kap.

Yep. The largest issue SF has is.. the lacking QB ability to better sense what the defense is doing pre-snap.. and adjust or plan accordingly to it. That, and he treats each play or drive as if it's his last. That can cause some serious errors that can kill the team. Sometimes, less is more.. and not forcing shit is a good decision.

I get that... but the 9ers were shit in 2010. in 2011 they picked up a new coaching staff and came within an overtime loss to playing in the superbowl. I don't think the conversation to ask the question "Are we a superbowl team" is that horrible of a discussion. That's the goal, to go to the superbowl, and the "ride" is part of the fun for most people (not for you - I understand) but for most people the ride and the hope of the team having "it's year" is why many people are fans.

You guys keep calling these games meaningless games. If that's the case are you then advocating for a single elimination NFL season so every game is "win or go home"? It would be a very short season if that were the case. The point of the season is to work the team, correct shortcomings, etc. Improve or sustain your team in time for the playoffs. No game is meaningless, the regular season isn't meaningless.

Only 844 yards YAC 21st. But is 16th in yards.

He waits a fraction too long to decide, his windup lets the defense see the pass coming a fraction earlier, the pass being throw with heat like you say the catch on the move isn't easy.

The combination makes it hard to maximize the match up advantages the 49ers obviously have with that WR+TE group and get more yards and first downs.

RedZone I think the coaches have no idea what to do. Gore is no threat to get to the pylon outside and score so he tends to get stuffed on goal to goal runs because the defense jams up the middle.
They have no great weapon to target and short drop-back, quick, accurate throws are not Kaepernick's specialty.

4 teams get eliminated week 1

that still leaves 8 teams playing in week 2

another 4 teams get eliminated

That wouldnt be a fumble if our O-Line didnt break like bread crumbs every other play. (now a Kapxcuse)

Also, the interception to Ginn, are you kidding me Ginn?!? stand up and fight for the ball he lost were the ball was completely. And the commentators sit there when smith fumbles and say he should be benched? After a GREAT game he is having?

Smith was inconsistent i agree, but realize this we just got a new OC ( Roman is horrible now a Kapxcuse)and arent living under Singletary's influence ANYMORE, we are playing pass and smith in shotgun is tearing it up. They cant predict what smith is doing wen we arent doing run run pass.

and for ANY and i mean ANY fan that booed alex smith you are not a fan at all.

When we were down 27-24, smith threw a ball to morgan and everyone booed because it was a loss for the play, Then he throws to davis for 20 yards and everyones on the band wagon again. I mean this in the nicest way possible SCREW YOU FAKE FANS. SCREW YOU!

Smith was chewed out by Singletary and BOOED off the field, and then came back and made 2 drives for TD's BUT OUR DEFENSE OUR DEFENSE OUR DEFENSE OUR DEFENSE (Now a Kapxcuse) could not stop them.


DOES ANYONE realize if Nedney made his FG, and our Defense stopped them from making there field goal, we would have won 27-24???

But oh wait..... Its smiths fault right? BLOW ME.

Well, I caught about 5 minutes of the Jets game, watched the Rams game and the other early games because some coworkers wanted to watch it while I was in LA, caught the last 10 minutes of the Chargers game, missed the 49ers game (was at the Royals game).... so, I wouldn't really call that putting time or energy into it.

The Patriots game was fun though... might catch the Seahawks and will catch the Broncos. It's definitely unfortunate the NFL has slid from 1st on my sports priorities to 4th or maybe even 5th after the Royals' run.

eventually most teams lose but prior to that:

(someone correct me if this is wrong)

4 teams get eliminated week 1

that still leaves 8 teams playing in week 2

another 4 teams get eliminated

4 teams left week 3

2 teams get eliminated

Superbowl


So of the 12 teams in the playoffs only 4 get eliminated week 1 and 4 week 2.....

So getting ONE win in the playoffs is not super unreasonable

And you think that the Chiefs are not trying because they didn't pick their own QB. Ok. That's cool.

Like with Bearcat... you aren't going to be happy until "X" (for your case "X" stands for "draft their own QB"). For your sake, I hope that happens for you dude.

Alex Smith is a winner.

This team will be very difficult to stop on the way to the playoffs and once we get in, I don't see how we won't have a really good shot at beating anyone.

We have a great running game featuring the best running back duo in the nfl.
We have an elite pass rush with lots of guys that can hurt you if you don't have a really good ol.
We have speed in the secondary
We have a rising star at tight end that is quickly getting into "top five at his position" type of good.
We have a QB that doesn't turn the ball over and extends drives constantly by spreading the ball around to everyone and picking up first downs with his legs when the situation allows it.
When Avery is out there, we have a good mix of possession and speed on the outside.
We have a DL that constantly collapses the pocket.
We have a very young team that knows what it feels like to waste an opportunity and a coaching staff that seems to get the most out of its players.

I genuinely think this team will have a shot at going deep in the playoffs this year and will have a great shot at going to a Super Bowl in the next few years if we keep adding talent at this pace and building this roster.

The part that's hard to understand -- mind boggling, really -- is how a few wins always (as in every time they've ever strung a few wins together) sends us down the same path. It's not like we had these same conversations last year when they were 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, 8-0, 9-0... and at 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, people were slobbering all over the NFCE wins, dismissing the "haters" in the exact same ways, because you know, that Chargers win was really impressive because they had already beaten the likes of the Bills, Jags, Jets, and Raiders!

So, just like I said last year, the Chiefs could be pretty good. They might be the best team out of very large number of middle-of-the-pack teams that aren't either completely awful or legit contenders. Unfortunately, they get very few regular season tests to prove otherwise, so yes, it's pretty much all about evaluating what you see during those tests and then waiting until January.... yet, all the backlash every single time they win a few and someone says, hey, what about...?*




*obviously not talking about Clay and a few others who have made it their goal in life to bash Alex Smith

What is ACTUALLY hard to understand, at least for me, is how people can view last year as a 'continuation of' anything really. The 2013 Chiefs, most glaringly on defense, was one of the most anomalous I've seen in all my years. The D didn't just peak, then drop off. It dominated, then with the flick of a switch [and key injuries], lept off the Empire State Building.

And it wasn't just better competition, certainly not just better QBs. Coverage loosened, pass rush started taking FOREVER, runners gashed. Points were given up without so much as a fight, or any time off the clock.

I'm still apprehensive that things will fall apart again, but I don't think it's fair to call this new regime just more of the same BS of, certainly the PAST 40 YEARS.

Right, . . . nothing's changed, it's just a tired old soap opera script.

Last year was a schizophrenic year, and it hit it's nadir right in the playoffs. But this year has seen them take some hard hits and come back stronger. It's fair to be shellshocked. It's fair to be apprehensive. It's certainly fair in Missouri to say 'show me.' I don't think it's fair to say you've seen this show before.

We'll beat the Raiders on Thursday night and have a long week and a half to prep for the Broncos, sitting at 8-3. Assuming they don't suffer any major injuries and shore up their run defense enough to beat the Seahawks, I struggle to see how the Broncos win in Arrowhead.

At that point, we'd be 9-3, nearly guaranteed a playoff spot, and are surely going to torment some home team in the first round of the playoffs.

Some people (and of course Claynus) are acting as if each week's matchup is a clear and precise reflection of this Chiefs team. I guess it's done for either the drama of it, or just sheer ignorance of the overall picture.

Thing is... we see good teams get trounced on occasion.. because they fail to bring their A or B game that particular week. Any given Sunday.

I don't say this to make excuses for a potential loss.. I expect KC to win this one.. and generally expect them to win every week. If they don't though? It's not the end of the world.. and not at all a clear and precise reflection of the team they are.

Sometimes, shit just doesn't go your way. The trick is to have more good weeks than bad... and that can give you a shot to get hot in the postseason.

Smith seems to have a floor he'll never fall below.

In 2013 for KC.... Alex was the 9th best deep ball QB in regards to accuracy. Not bad, eh?

He has a decent deep ball.. He just doesn't throw many of em.

So, compared to his short/intermediate skill... I'd say yes.. the deep pass is not his strength... if only due to just how good his short/intermediate passing is.

By throwing fewer, yes, his stats are going to be better if he completes them.

It's just not a strength of his.

At some point, they're going to likely encounter a point where he has to get out of his comfort zone.

You and a few others want to say he doesn't throw it downfield for whatever reason or flavor of the day is, but at some point, he needs to threaten defenses that way. Lotta good can come from it. I'm sure Andy Reid, like last year, would agree that he'd like him to be more aggressive at times.

Alex prefers to throw between the hashes and short.

We all know Smith has his limitations, the question is are they enough to derail the team in the playoffs and the usual suspects have the usual difference of opinion on this.

I don't say this to make excuses for a potential loss.. I expect KC to win this one.. and generally expect them to win every week. If they don't though? It's not the end of the world.. and not at all a clear and precise reflection of the team they are.

Sometimes, shit just doesn't go your way. The trick is to have more good weeks than bad... and that can give you a shot to get hot in the postseason.

Exactly, it's why all the speculation and 'omg they've won 3 in a row, let's talk about winning in the playoffs!' is just bullshit... any given year, there are a few completely awful teams, a handful of legit contenders, and ~26 other teams that could be 6-10 or 10-6 based on nothing more than a good/bad matchup or a few big plays one way or the other.

It's why that handful of legit contenders win 85-90% of their games, but even they have off weeks.

Beating the Bills or losing to them doesn't mean a whole helluva lot in itself. The 9-0 start last year and the start this year means they could be the best of that large group of teams, but they can beat 100 of those teams and it doesn't move them into the top group. It doesn't further the playoff discussion at all outside of them making it there. You actually move into that group when you're consistently beating those bottom ~28 AND beating some of the top contenders.

The losses last year were actually more promising than the 9-0 start, because they were competing with those teams. Hopefully they can take the next step this year or next.

Living in the GB area, I completely understand that. The packers aren't just a team, they are life. So I get where you are coming from.

I have for decades been geographically detached from the teams I hold/held dear...

still... the pain and disappointment is very real to us all... but IT DOES FADE.

.. because eventually and intermittently, life shows us what really counts.

That's bullshit too. I respect you a lot, but I personally take umbrage with that remark. Im a die hard fan of two teams, and im ****ing proud of that. me personally, I have way too much time on my hands, and im ADD as ****, so I have to have something to keep my mind occupied.

That's fine.

I don't feel one can be a "fan" of two teams. But again, to each his own.

It just comes across as smug I'm better for it bullshit, 2 hen someone like that comes here and preaches at us.

This isn't a normal message board to some of us. It's more. Alot of guys here know each other personally. Shit, I've been taken to games by guys here just for the ticket not going to waste.

Yeah good luck with that.

I waited 30 years for the Giants to win a World series. 31 to be exact, and I kinda thought "HEY THATS GREAT, WHEEWWW." It pulls you in even more.

There's really no "more" than never working a sunday.

Ever.

In 32 years.

Using vacation for the games, draft, SB.

Asking off for playoff weekend 8 months in advance.

Just in case...

They have been beating those teams this year, save for week one.

I laughed listening to ESPN last night talking about Cleveland.

paraphase 'It's the new wave in the NFL nowadays. Play defense,run the ball,don't take chances turning the ball over in the passing game."

Then they talked about San Frisco and their problems. How Kaepernick was struggling because they aren't using the running game anymore and Kaep can't be THE MAN. That he needs the play-action-pass and read option to be successful.


LMAO

The new wave of the NFL:

Cleveland and Hoyer

That's funny, i didn't watch the game last night, but after hearing Hoyer's stat line this morning, i thought exactly the same thing.

They could be right. The NFL changes all the time.

Afterall, that's how Seattle won the SB.

This is where some of you "new chiefs fans" are missing the point or boat or whatever you want to miss.

Some of us have been rabid fans for so long, it's more than just entertainment. I'd imagine this is the way most chief fans feel. It's not just a game. It's a lifestyle we live.

Now, that's our cross to bear when shit goes bad, but don't come here saying "it's just a game, enjoy the entertainment" and expect to not get some backlash from some and or get all holier than thou when it happens.

That's fair. My point in that post was not to be "holier than thou"... and I get the whole "cross" that Chiefs fans are bearing. I certainly don't ever try to portray myself as someone who's been on that long road with you all.

I just happen to agree with Sandy that if the Chiefs lose this game against the Bills, I don't think it's some kind of omen indicating that this team is doomed to the same fate of all the Chiefs teams for the past 1000 years. This isn't me setting up pre excuses for Smith, it's just me recognizing that it's tough to win games in the NFL and this should be a pretty tough game against a pretty good team in their home stadium. I'm looking forward to watching it and hope the Chiefs are able to pull it out.

There were 30 mile an hour winds. The Browns were without Josh Gordon, Jordan Cameron, and Andrew Hawkins.

The Bengals have a ferocious d line. Andy Dalton completed 30 percent of his passes, and was picked off 3 times. There was no need to throw the ball all crazy last night. Andy Dalton completed more passes 3, to browns dbs, than to aj green, 2.
