Oh, he played poorly. Particularly after the Denver scoring burst.

But its intellectually dishonest to try and use that game as a defense for Alex Smith's checkdown love affair.

Dude.

We held a potent offense to 16 points, AND forced a turnover that set up the offense for a long 9-yard drive to what turned out to be a game-winning field goal.

Defense ****ing rocked my socks off.

Suddenly down by 4 scores, with a little over 1 qtr to play, you have to take some risks. CONTEXT

That doesn't really address the point I was trying to make anyway. Just like the pff stat doesn't.


If all this offense does is throw short and run, defenses won't be afraid to stack the box and blitz/run blitz. They will crowd the short field and leave their corners 1 on 1. It makes what the KC offense is currently doing that much harder. The defenses will be more than happy to put 9 in the box and stuff runs and pressure the QB knowing that Smith's counter is only a short pass.

Start putting some back shoulder throws on our receivers for big gains, and suddenly the safeties are forced to pick their poison. Hell, Dallas forced us to change our scheme doing just that.

And don't give me excuses about not having the receivers. You don't need Calvin Johnson with a 5 yard lead to put a scare in the defense. Testing a 1 on 1 matchup can net you a big catch, a PI, or just enough threat to make those safeties back up or slide outside.

Is it a 1-1 matchup if there is pressure without a blitz?

Yes. Often.

That's my point. Teams are leaving their CBs on an island with our wideouts because they know its unlikely Smith will test that matchup beyond 10 yards.

... and yeah, for shame to the KC fans showing excitement after winning their first two games. They should always remember years past with different personnel and coaching that has disappointed them and transfer that negativity to the present and future. Awesome! :doh!:
